OK, figure this one out.

This afternoon (Saturday) I was working around the house minding my own business when the doorbell rings. Lucas answers and comes to tell me there's a guy at the door who wants to buy my old 1987 Plymouth Sundance, which was parked on the street in front of my house. I come upstairs and this dude asks me if I want to sell the thing. Right out of the blue. I tell him "$100 and it's yours." He leaves and comes back 20 minutes later with five 20-dollar bills (NOT xeroxed--I checked). He didn't even test-drive the thing. Otherwise he would have found out about the bad brakes and leaky power steering. He took the title and drove it away and I pocketed the cash and that (SO far!) was the end of it.

I assume he must have wanted a beater for around-town driving or hunting or fishing or something disposable for a drug run or bank job or mob hit or some other nefarious task. DO NOT CARE.

I didn't even have a "for-sale" sign in the window or an ad in the paper or anything. As far as I was concerned the thing's next destination was going to be the junk yard. So what possessed this total stranger to just stop and ask me if I wanted to sell this piece of junk?

I hope this doesn't come back to bite me in the ass!

Most likely for spares. I knew a guy in Switzerland who had a 25 year old Sunbeam Alpine with a bad bash in the right side (door and front wing), beyond the capability of the best panel beater. He found the same model in a wrecking yard and bought the whole thing for the scrap metal price and got his door and wing. He also swapped the twin Webers because his were out of balance and used a few other parts from time to time. Incidentally, he found out why it ended up at the wrecker's; one of the con rods was poking through the side of the engine!

I think he just needed a car quickly.

It was an early Christmas Present

Or he saw that you left your iPod in the back seat.

Maybe it's better if you don't know why he bought it. If it was a problem car then at least you found a buyer. But I'm thinking he needed the parts and your was the same color as the one he needed parts for. He probably borrowed someones Sundance and busted it up and noticed yours and wanted to buy it pronto for the parts before the other person noticed, who knows.

Yes I spell color without the U and that's the way I like it. :P

call it karma.

I'm surprised at how fast you could sell a car there, I mean no paperwork involved.

And in French, you spell it coler?

Traitor!!

Hahaha! You guys always manage to put a smile on my face.

Possibly.
It remains to be seen whether the guy actually changes the title over if the signature wasn't notarized.

Traitor!!

Don't you mean traitour?

[Umfriend]

No, that is a traiteur.

Has to be parts if it wasn't advertised.
