Do people ever ask to buy your car unsolicited?

If I drove by your house I'd leave a note on the wagon too.

I had a guy stop by who saw my rambler in the driveway. He looked it over praising the condition, i told him 2k. He called next morning at 7am, picked it apart and offered 500 because he was too big a puss to lowball in person. He got a "berkeley you, click" and i went back to sleep.

I wish i had listened to the guy that reaallllly wanted the avalanche right before I started having more major problems.

One time at a cruise night i had a guy from portugal fall for my 54 Belair and bid against himself through his nephew's interpretation between us up to $23,000 because he wanted to take it back with him. I couldn't do it, and in hindsight I probably would have done something stupid with the money anyway.

For some reason everyone asks if I am selling the s10. No one ever asks about the cars I am actually selling...

St I'll give ya 4K for the ms3....

That would beat the notes under the windshield. Why do you need 2? I would consider a trade though. There is a guy near here with an ...interesting... history with the cops driving my car's doppelganger. This has gotten me pulled over more than once, followed by 'you're not him, never mind'. A trade woudl also complete the 'all silver vehicles' collection. The gray MS3 is the only non-silver vehicle in the fleet. The miata, spark, and my wife's BMW R100 are all silver.

Ha, I traded the silver ms3 back in 2010 on an xterra, just haven't been around to update my garage. I recently picked up a 2.0 5 speed in gray, which, while it's a lot of fun, it's no ms3.

People like the square S10s. I suspect once the one I bought from you is on the road, I'll be getting inquiries, too. It's way nicer than most of the remaining 1st gen S10s in SW Ohio.

Our Volvo wagon! All the time! 1995 855 Olive Green Metallic T5R. Only by Volvo people. No one else cares.
