Default Boss has another trade-in

Boss has got another trade-in he wants gone asap.

Thanks guys, it is a nice lookin car. It took me a few hours cleaning and waxing, but I wasn't in a rush (the boss was paying me!!). It was fairly clean to start with, just needed that extra 'detail' touch.

It will if you inflate the tires to 200 psi!!!
I'm not sure on how long things take Mike, I don't deal with that side of things, but i'll let Don know you haven't got the reg yet, he can maybe chase it up for you. Be monday before I see him tho'. How is the boat by the way?.

Hey 'Fasterthanyou', you could always dye your hair grey and grow your ears to stick out 4" from your head, then this would be the car for you!!.

The boat is almost ready for the water. I have to replace the stern drive bellows and get the reg., but plans are to have this on the water a lot! I put a Bimini on it and a new battery, but need to fix some wiring and a few other small items and it will be done.

Glad to hear no major problems Mike. Don is up north till thursday at an RV dealer show. I did mention it to Wes today, but the files are locked up so he couldn't chase it up. Soon as Don gets back, i'll have him find out whats going on with the reg.

what other sponsors sell cars?

I'm sorry I didn't know I was breaking any rules. I'm an RV service manager/tech. The place I work at sells RV's (and are only setup for RV sales), the car was a trade-in I thought I would post here in case anyone wanted a low mileage daily driver before it gets wholesale'd out, just like I did with the boat a few weeks ago that Mullet bought.
Just tryin to pass on what I think are bargains before some dealer snaps them up and makes a killing on them, i'll make sure in future anymore cheap vehicles that arrive where I work by-pass this site.

if this is an every once in a while thing, its no big deal. if your business is selling cars, then its not fair to other sponsors.

i have no problem with what you are doing as long as its not abused.

thanks.

Thanks John. This is just stuff that the boss doesn't want on the lot and is about to wholesale it out, he only wants RV's, anything else gets moved for what he paid for it, they're few and far between so I offer them here hoping to help a fellow car fanatic.

Ok guys and gals
Boss is ready to dump this thing (cash flow problems)! Anyone with $4800 can steal this beauty...
