  • Sold my truck!

    I decided friday that I wanted to sell my GMC, mainly so I can sell it, make a profit, buy another vehicle with a cheaper payment and invest some money into other projects that I have.

    I put it up for sale; Bought a sign for $2.49, told a few friends, told a few business owners I deal with to keep an eye out, and that's it.

    Friday night I was at my buddies, the truck was sitting out front with the new sign in the windshield. I was drinking a beer and preparing the keg to be tapped for the halloween party, when this guy shows up asking about the truck. He drove past, saw it,.. and stopped. He said "is it really for sale?" Confused, I said.. Yes, it's really for sale.. and he replied "sold."

    He hadnt driven it or looked it over at all.. He asked if I'd start it, So I did... I let it warm up a few minutes, Piped it up a bit so he could hear the exhaust and it rolled some smoke.

    He asked to take it for a drive, so we did.. he didnt wanna romp on it or anything.

    We got back to my buddies house, and he took down my info, and the VIN # and took a picture of it.. and said he'd call his bank on monday to get the loan. Saturday morning, about ten am. he calls me about 3 times within 5 minutes, til I picked up (i was at work).. to tell me he got approved for the loan, and I should have the $ by tues. or weds.

    He didnt haggle me at all, gave me my asking price.

    So I talked to him again last night, and he said hopefully wednesday the check should be at his mailbox.

    lets cross out fingers, I made almost 10 grand profit on this deal :D :D :D

    Bye Bye GMC, You'll be missed!

      I rented a storage building for the buick, it's been sitting in my garage but I moved my Jeep to my garage to start some serious modifications over the winter, and I dont want it getting in the way, or harmed.

                    If he shows up with a Cashiers check or a Money Order, and you don't recognize the financial institution its from, I wouldn't sign over the truck. Its the same scam that alot of Craiglisters are seeing when trying to sell a car, except I have been hearing stories that people are starting to show up in person, with phony paperwork, trying to hussle you out of a car, and remember, possession is 9/10 the law.

                    The reason why I say this is because 10 grand profit is rediculous. If he is seriously that stupid to pay that much over, let alone a bank approve a loan for that much over on a car in this economy, then something just doesnt seem right about any of it.

                    I could be wrong....but theres still the chance.

                      Its a local guy, lives 5 or 6 minutes from my house... He works for the same farmer I worked for a few years ago. I owe 20k on the truck, and sold it for 32,500.

                      Blue book value, and going rate of these trucks are around 30 grand, plus the thousands of aftermarket I have into it.

                      He didnt find it on craigslist, he drove by and saw the sign in the window

                        Well, you really didn't profit anything off the truck then. Thats a little confusing Matt. If I could keep steady employment for more than a month at a time, I would have easily bought that truck. Only worked 6 months this year though...

                            Give and take. Win some, lose some. At least you got more than what you owe, thats a good thing considering the era of Obamaism.
