Sold my 2004 Honda Pilot today to a couple in a bad way. I was asking $5000 for it but noticed several on CL of the same vintage and spirit going for high 3s low 4s. I left it up to my Son to handle the deal starting out. He reposted on FB and got a hit. The lady said she would be by with cash, really needed a car because she lost hers. Well, her and her hubby show up. Nice enough couple. He's got plenty of pen ink and she was very pleasant. We talked for a bit. She l0st her car to repo man. He has been out for a little while. Not sure what he was in for - didn't ask. They have a total of 6 kids all under 12. They opened up a hair salon and lost the AC today. The car they rolled up in wasn't even something my Son would buy and that's saying something!

I know when someone is trying to con me, these folks weren't like that as far as I could tell. They gave me cash and I signed over the title. I counted the stack and said they over paid me by $20. She couldn't figure because the pawn shop gave her the money when she pawned her wedding ring but maybe they made a mistake which meant they could order pizza for the kids tonight.

The Honda served us well and frankly there is a part of me that would have let them have the darn thing just because.

The money shall go towards his truck fund. He has put the majority into it and normally I don't give him anything but I decided that he could use that money and all he has made to buy his truck.

So the search is on...
