Someone posted a 2004 Camry XLE with real leather, fake wood, and 112,000 miles for $6,000. That sounded high, but Kelley said it was worth $6,415 in excellent condition and there were only a couple paint imperfections:


I am only giving you 2 pictures! Take that!

I would have driven down as soon as I saw the ad, but this is on the far side of Phoenix and Peoria. Google claims it would take 3 hours and 35 minutes, but that is how long it takes me to drive to my sister's house, which allegedly takes 2.95 hours, and is 34 miles closer, so maybe 4 hours?

Well, the ad is still up, so I might have had a chance, but I would still be an hour away. Let's say that I look her over, take her for a test drive, and have a mechanic inspect it.

That would undoubtedly take at least an hour, so the earliest that I could possibly finish would be 2pm, but I am sure that it would be more like 3 or 4.

Then I drive to my sister's house and Google admits that it can take 2 hours.

Sixty miles with city traffic?!

Sure. Two hours. If believing that makes people happy.

Oh, look at me! I'm making people happy! I'm the magical man from Happyland in a gumdrop house on Lollipop Lane!

Four pm and hopefully I can get a ride back to my car. Ideally my brother-in-law would be willing, since I just bought a car for them.

Google says that will take a little longer, but let's stick with 2 hours.

I leave Sun City West at 6pm and arrive home at 10pm, leaving at 0815 for 6 clients.

Call me a pessimist, but I don't think that would work out.

Edit! The ad is already down!
