As I had related in prior posts, my aunt and uncle who lived 4 blocks from me recently died. They left behind a beautiful white 2021 Lincoln Corsair with only 9400 miles on it, truly the presumed senior citizen used car. They bought it new, and when I took them to the dealership to pick up the car I took a few pictures of the car to commemorate the occasion.
After they died, I was sitting at the bar at the local Eagles aerie and for some reason pulled up the pictures of the car that were on my phone. There was a guy sitting next to me who I knew so I showed him the pictures and told him that the car had belonged to my aunt and uncle who had just died. He looked at the pictures and said his wife might have a real interest in the car because she liked white cars. I told my cousin who is the Executrix of both estates about this and eventually everybody got together to look at the car and make a test drive. The couple was definitely interested to the point of putting down a deposit. I just got the word today from my cousin that the deal went down and the car now has a new owner.
Now stop and think. Would all of this have happened like this if I hadn't decided to take pictures when my aunt and uncle bought the car?
You had better luck than I did with my father's car in the UK in 2011. What it sold for at auction barely covered the new battery to make it run. It was in great condition with very low miles for a '95, probably under 30k, but it was a sedan, not a hatch or SUV. Unless it's a BMW or a Merc, you can barely give away sedans in the UK.
COINCIDENCES OR WHAT?
