Car Chronicles: Part Four: Selling the Beloved Golf

Alas, the time has come. The Golf is back and all clean and happy with its little for sale sign. What to ask for it? Playing the selling game. Don’t like this part so much.

So far, three queries and one broken viewing appointment. A no show. So nice of him to call and cancel. Not like I had anything better to do with my time.

But what do you do with a great little, economical car that is ready to go thousands of kms more if you fix the head gasket? Problem is, that costs about a grand to fix. (I found a great shop who will do that plus some more work for that price.) Who wants to buy a car that needs to go in the shop for a bit, even if it means you will have a great car in the end? Do we fix it ourselves? Then what do we charge?

So, we’ll see what the next week or so brings. I’m just feeling impatient. I know what I want and I want to get to it. Same with my career.
