Red face Almost sold Scooby but I just couldn't let her go!

I posted some for sale ads for my Scoob and got some replies.....
Guy came to see her and offered me what I was asking.....

I thought about it for the last couple of days..... (even lost sleep!)

She is the best car I've ever had and I just can't imagine life without her....

I'd be seriously p*ssed if I were looking to buy a car, took the trouble to go and find a good one, offered the owner his asking price, and then got told I couldn't have it after all. Don't you think you should do the decent thing and actually sell the car now you've said it's for sale and have a buyer?

Buy a smaller, tighter exhaust pipe and it will seem like a new one

I didn't feel bad for him as he was a car dealer and looking to sell it on for a nice profit.....

He didn't have any interest in the scoob for himself and to be honest he was a bit of a numpty,

I probably would of sold it to the right person.... but it would of still been a very sad day!

Cheers,

Plums...

I am in a similar situation. I have a classic impreza and a new age sti and will likely have to get rid of one. It would have been an easy decision if the classic impreza came turbo here in the U.S. but that wasn't the case. So I know how you feel since I don't want to get rid of any of my scoobs.
