Honda Holiday

A Honda is a car that is great on gas mileage and you can beat the hell out of them with almost no adverse affects. One would think this would make one with fairly low mileage and very little to be done an easy sell. Nope.

I bought a Monte Carlo SS a few months back with money I got from $140 worth of dishes I sold. I love love love the car, but it needs some minor things done (new wires, 2 tires, and rear trailing arm) that total about $200.

Since it is the time of the summer sales slump, I have yet to get ahead $200. It doesn't help when the part time gig keeps taking hiatuses - we take an $80-$90 hit (depending on my tips) each time this happens. I had to sell one of my rare pony things to pay the water bill.

I think "Well, I've got the Honda" The bastard books for $1500, just needs an exhaust patch and a minor bushing thing in the transmission. It's kinda ugly, but it's fairly reliable and gets 35 miles to the gallon. I ask $1100 on craigslist. No dice. One bitch offers me $500. I don't even reply.

I get repeated offers of a bank check and pickup (well known scam). And one with actual interest lowballing me a bit. Looking back, I should have taken the $900 - lol. I get sick of this, and list it on Cars. Repeated inquiries but no response once I answer them.

Get pissed about that.

List it on ebay. Bitch who won lives 4 hours away and says she has no way to pick it up and how would she pay for it?  Uh, weren't you supposed to figure that out BEFORE YOU FUCKING BID? So now I am stuck with an inflated ebay bill ($60! for a car that is STILL HERE) and am going to have to fucking call them and get it taken off since I cancelled the sale and they've been painfully slow about crediting me for it.

I have been trying to get rid of this fucking car for almost a month now! I had two texts today, but I ain't holding my breath.

Update 3/7/2018: One of the two texts turned out to be a guy from 2 towns away who wanted a reliable beater and I got $800. The Monte Carlo is still kicking :)
