Now I've read it all

Maybe that's what I need to sell my car, exchange it for pizza

I have listed it on Craigslist and no luck yet!

I listed a car on craigs list Friday afternoon, sold it yesterday morning.

I bought it for 75.00 a month ago from a neighbor, they said it just needed a water pump, well it didn't it had a blown head gasket, and thats not something I want to fix and can't afford it. so listed it for 200.00 and sold it to the first person. Now if I can just sell the tires I put on there I'll be happy.

Okay, I've got to ask -- what kind of car did you buy for $75.00?

a 1990 ford Tempo

Wow! I was thinking it'd be something like a '72 El Camino or something.

Well, nice job on turning a profit!

Sorry to hear it wasn't workable for you. I know how much you need a car!

I'm selling my Cavalier for $1200 - looks like I'm gunna have to break down and pay to list it in the paper. Oh that $13 is gunna kill me

Ya you know it, over a year without a car and can't take it no more. Mom finally caved in and is giving me their Honda Civic. Been sitting in their driveway for 3 years, its only a 2 sitter which is why she didn't think it was practical. But I NEED A CAR, and I only have 1 kid at home now so it won't be too bad. GREAT Gas Milege too.

This is a walk down car memory lane for me... my first (shared) car was a '91 Tempo and my second was a '99 Cavalier. It was my Cavalier that blew a head gasket. My Tempo just randomly stalled at traffic lights and creeping construction/accident traffic. Of course, it did that to me for years but never did it for the mechanic...

Lisa, that sounds like a good price for your tempo! I dunno how much it would be for a tempo, but fixing my blown head gasket a few years ago cost more than Danielle's selling price on her cav.

Well i'm glad you have a way to get around now, I'm sure the boys know how to get around on their own by now.

Things sound like they are looking up for you

Well they were, but just got a 30 day notice to move, so now I'm freaking. Owner is selling and wants to redo my apartment (only one that hasn't been remodled). The bumps in the road never seem to end.
