My car, Vicky, was sold last Friday! Zack has been bugging me to sell it for months now and out of boredom more than anything I put it up on ksl.com classifieds thinking it wouldn't sell for at least 30 days. I looked at other similar listings and I saw that they had been posted for about 23 days so I thought I had time. Luckily 5 minutes after I posted the ad I got a phone call on it. I met the person that night, they test drove it and liked it. The next day they called telling me they wanted to purchase the car! It truly was a blessing being able to sell it so quickly. It also was a blessing for the price we sold it for! We got at least $400 dollars more than I thought we would :) Definitely a bonus!
Vicky was first my Grandpa Galbraith's car. I have a memory of him and my Grandma coming over to our house to show it off right after they bough it in 1994! I would have been 11 years old! I thought it was so cool how the speedometer would digitally show you the speed and I loved that there was an extra seat up front! Little did I know that this little beauty would be mine a few years later! I was lucky enough to inherit it for free from my Grandpa. He decided he probably wasn't safe behind the wheel anymore and so he offered it to his grandchildren first. I am the youngest grandchild on that side of the family and most all of our other cousins were established and had cars of their own so I got it! Pretty sweet deal!
It is a Ford Crown Victoria, so because of that I nicknamed her Vicky for short! You certainly were a 'grandpa car' in every way, but you were great to me while you lasted! Be good to your new owner!
