Sold!

With some kind of record-breaking speed, we sold our 1992 Honda Accord today. Less than 6 hours after creating our craigslist ad, the happy buyers were driving away and we had cash in hand. (We also fielded about half a dozen other phone inquiries.) This car has been used by Damon for commuting for the last 3 years and became unnecessary after the purchase of our truck four weeks ago.My parents will probably be amazed to hear that we were even able to sell this vehicle since they were visiting when the ignition seized in a store parking lot 30 miles from home. For the next 6 months we started the car by sticking a screwdriver into the ignition switch which was just hanging there by some wires. The switch was eventually replaced, requiring different keys for locking and driving.

The car suffers from a few such idiosyncrasies, but we disclosed them and sold it for less than the Kelly Blue Book "fair" price, so we don't think the buyers will be too surprised by it's as-is condition. As for us, we are happy to no longer own a car with such peculiar behaviors and to be back to being a two-car family.
