That would be my mother's 1997 Honda Accord EX 4 Dr Sedan with...drumroll please...29K original miles. A true little old lady's car. Probably had the oil changed about once every thousand miles on average - she always thought that it needed doing even if it didn't! Silver. Automatic. New Toyo tires. $5500 cash, no trades.

Exactly what my brother is looking for. Bad thing is, you're 1700 miles away.

Let's see. Up North. Snow. Cold. Ice. indeed.
Lake Charles LA. Warm. Sunny. Past hurricane season.
Lemme think...
wish I had the time to drive it down there for you! But then it wouldn't be quite so low mileage!

Did - got six hits in less than two hours and had to put it on "hold" while I take them in order to be fair! Dang, that thing works!

Yeah, they make a big deal about watching out for fraudulent cashier checks or money orders. Who knew? Would only take a cashier check from a local bank and check it out before releasing the bill of sale.

I want to send out a big "Thanks" to pastorbrad for the smooth as silk transaction and the fantastic DD that he hooked me up with. The trip back was long but I'm always up for an adventure. I left my house at
11am Wednesday and returned home at 9am Thursday. What a trip!

Thanks again Brad.
