We sold our second and final car today--a black Toyota Exiv. We are very grateful that we sold both vehicles before we left, and essentially for each asking price. We did acquiesce to a lower price for the new Toyota Town Ace van owner (how could we not accept $700 for that 20-year old piece of junk when we only paid $1K to purchase it?!), but there was no haggling on the sedan since it had lots of JCI time left and is in great mechanical shape.
I think we felt guilty for selling the Exiv for the same price WE purchased it for three years ago, but only for about 2 seconds! Wow it was sure nice to not have any car payments for either car! But you could only do that painlessly in Okinawa...and those who live here know what I mean.
We are looking forward to purchasing out a nice "family" car in Arizona and picking up our trusty, paid-off, F-150 back from Jared's folks when we visit Alabama for Thanksgiving. Thank goodness for generous mother-in-laws and great grannies who hoard money before they pass!
