DON’T Sell it! I’ll GIVE you another one, so you can make bookends!!! Mine is front end smashed, charcoal gray…
I was driving what I called “The Wonder Wagon” - a Ford LTD Station Wagon of ancient vintage and close to 200,000 miles. It died finally for the last time and I had to get something new.
I visited a car dealership and explained my plight. They got me financing which required 10% down payment. I had none. Here’s what the salesperson did…
I took my title down to him. He used the car as a down payment. He applied the 10% figure - which turned out to be $800 for a car that was scrapheap material and wasn’t even there.
Now, after he worked out the new car, he said, “How much money do you have on you,” and promptly asked me to purchase my junked wagon BACK from him for the sum of $25.
So I bought the car back, which meant I purchased TWO CARS in one day! Gee, I was ever the mogul… And I bought it from someone who never even saw the car.
I would up calling the various junkyards and found someone who paid me $50 to tow away the Wagon, so I made a profit on it!
So if you plan on getting a new (or late-model used) car keep it. I know that I did not have anything for a down payment at the time, so it saved my life…

Brian, never trust a dealer’s numbers. They make it look as if they are saving you a ton of money but are really getting a huge profit.
