    We lived 160 miles south of Chicago and the prevailing winds are west to east. Besides, it's been decontaminated since we left.
    Wagons, two. One red and white 55 Chevy.(y)
    One old red Radio Flier. :D

    Oh, sorry. We have been asking $2700 and we offered her $2250. We would like more but to help her out it is worth it. She lost her home and stuff in the tornado and she is a single mom of, I think, 3. Her money is real tight and things here are just as pricy as Chicago in most cases and sadly more so in other ways. We found an apartment just like the one we have in Chicago here in Joplin and the rent is 100 bux more for the one here. Plus the utilities here are atrocious... for example. So yeah, we really want to help her out.

    No sale. My car has 2 cat cons and the radiator leak I patched broke and sprayed all over her. We are now asking 1800 for it. We dont have a choice...

    Apparently 4 cyl Kias have 2 catalytic converters and both could be clogged, or one, or none, or I dont know. We are to move in 4 days.

    The guy I bought it from offered 1500. I am trying to get ahold of him. Some called a bit ago and we asked 1800. The ad they saw was the one fos 2700. So we will see.

    We got an email offering 2000 but we already changed the CL ad to 1800 so we only thought it fair to tell him 1800. Waiting to hear back from him. The single mom wasnt what she seemed on the phone. She refused to wear a seat belt and didnt care about the child safety features my car offers. My Kia, it seems, wasnt fancy looking enough for her. The mechanic we went to was pretty resonable. He said that it would be an easy fix, no problem. She said that wasnt going to waste her money on it. Oh, well. I tried.

    That kinda sucks buddy I'm sorry. Nothing worse than selling cars, people expect the best car ever for nothing. Watch out for people offering high amounts sometimes it's a scam. Beware my friend. I'm sure the guy offering 2000 would be happy to pay 1800 that's nice of you.
