#9 – Sell the Lumina

Craig came through again! A few months ago I bought a 2005 Mazda 6 to replace my old and dying 1996 Chevy Lumina and intended on selling the Lumina. I wasn’t really sure what it was worth but I figured I would be lucky if I got $700 or $800. Last week I decided to finally put it up on CraigsList and within three days, we had it sold for $700! My asking price was $900 so we let the buyer “talk us down” to $700 and he was pretty happy. Don’t think we scammed the guy or anything, this was a great car. I was just ready for something a little nicer.

Anyway, I’m pretty happy about the outcome and will now have enough money to pay for my vacation in three weeks. Plus, I can cross one more item off my list!
