Default Goodbye

Well the time has come to say goodbye. Thank you all for your expert advice, support and friendship. SWEET74 left on a flatbed today, bound for Australia. Hated to see it leave the country, but I was tired of dealers offering me half what the car was worth, tire kickers, and the wannabees. Gentleman from down under was honest, gave me what I wanted for the car, and closed the deal in a very professional manner. I was both surprised and pleased. Would not hesitate to do business with him again.

That guy sending out phony bank checks AGAIN?!?! I heard about the last guy that fell for that one. He said the check bounced about a week after the boat left for Austrailia. JUST KIDDING!

Hope to see you back here again soon with another one.

-Mark.

Goodbyes suck. But, I am sure the 74 will be cherished for
a long time in Australia.

Now you have a great excuse to go to Austraila. Would be fun to fly there meet the dude and cruise down-under.
