Unhappy Just sold my car to a turkey

Makes me sad when I have cared for and maintained a vehicle carefully and buyer is somewhere else but reality.

And the buyer is a fool when doesnt listen to experience and kills cars at an astonishing rate, due to stupidity/ignorance/haste.

Oh well, take the money and let it all go.

Many times recently now I've let my cars go to turkeys. One crashed in a week, another set it on fire in the driveway....

Maybe I should say: 'I dont want to sell to you as you will kill my ex car and it will make me sad'.

blueflame -

I did an indirect sale to a turkey. I traded my 1997 SC2 in for the 1999 SW2. The service dude's nephew bought it, riced it up, and totalled it within 6 months. I heard that the engine dropped as designed and saved the dude's life, but now I regret trading it in. Should have turned it into a 5000 mile/year backup car.

Now me sad, .
