Had fun reading about 'MISSES' - let's hear about some great DEALS!

Here's one of mine: a neighbor of a family member mentioned a car that had been abandoned in her backyard 5 years before. Said if someone would just get it out if there it would be free.

I was called and was only told it was a red 4 door. I said I'd take it. Ended up being a 1989 Mercedes 190 that needed a battery. Detailed it and sold it for $5500.

Now that was a good deal...

My first pickup (another Ranger, go figure) I bought for $2000 cash just before I turned 16 (mowed lots of yards for it too). About 2 years later, I was rear ended in traffic while slowing down for a collision in front of me. Insurance gave me $1800 to fix it, which really surprised me because it was minor damage, just a rear bumper, brake light and a tail gate. Never bothered fixing it. Four months later, I got rear ended AGAIN sitting at a red light. I got another $700 out of it (even though I never fixed it to begin with aside from the brake light).

6 years and 110k miles later, I sold 'er for $1800. :)

I still miss 'ol blue.
