You are happy to have an excuse to punch someone?!

Before my sister offered to pay me to sign the car over to the Alaskan, I offered a guy selling a 1989 Tercel with 200,000 miles $500.

He eloquently replied "Nah."

It is a Toyota that runs and drives and the air conditioning and heater work--allegedly, but it is ugly on the outside, filthy on the inside, tiny, and too old to show up in Kelley Blue Book.

It only goes back 30 years.

I thought that I could fill up the tank, put a bag of groceries in the back seat, and offer to sign it over in exchange for the Accord key.

Nah.

Well, Kelley says the HX is worth $1,575. If I offer him what the car is worth to Kelley and to myself, who has dreamed of having various lean-burn vehicles that I fix up, will he reply in kind?
