Sold my beloved Caddy

[Steverino]

I need the money to build a garage/shop, so I let it go. I'm sure most of you guys aren't into the big cars, but this is one I'm gonna miss.

Oh well, when the car's long gone, I'll still have my garage.

During my short stint as a valet parking guy, Caddies were one of my favorites to drive. Smooth and really fast.

That's a nice ride. I woulda been sad to see it go myself. Still, you could always pick up another when finances allow.

The wife wasn't too happy about it. I just bought it in June. She ought to know by now I go through cars! :o

Northstar 32valve V8... amazing power, and that car weighed over 4000 lbs!

Is that $900 written on the windshield? :eek:

No, 3900. I took that pic last June, before I bought it. It was on a used car lot. The used car guy was selling it for someone else for $3900.00... that's 3900 plus tax, so the guy wanted $4200.00. I got him down to $3700 out the door, and sold it yesterday for.........

$3700.00. I got my money back. The car still has only 91K on the clock. Cars are a lot easier to sell if the odometer is under 100K, and this one had been babied and taken care of.

What's amazing is this car sold for $42K in 1997. That's a 90% decrease in value. 90 percent! No one wants the big cars anymore, everyone wants Priuses, Hondas, gas savers, even though this SLS got 27 highway.
