Get Rid of a Car
I probably should have done an article about how to get rid of a car before we sold Natasha’s car, because we took quite a beating on the price we eventually settled on. Poor Natasha out there in the cold, being haggled down by a very large man. I would have gone to help, but it was too much fun watching her “take care of business.” I think we ended up a couple thousand dollars short on that deal, but I learned a thing or two when we were trading in my old Honda for the new Subaru (since hit by a bear and an elderly woman). Don’t let salespeople push you around. Stand firm on that “fair” blue book value and don’t let up until they put the contract for your new car on the table.
Anyway, I hope this article about getting rid of cars helps. I couldn’t think of anywhere to put it besides debt, because honestly, what can put you in debt faster than a car or a house?

Yeah, it was really too bad I didn’t have my daddy there to sell my car for me, then buy me a new one. I probably would have learned a thing or two then, too. And you hit that old woman, not the other way around. Remember that, oh wise one?

You know, she’s right. My dad did help me with my last trade in, and I learned quite a bit. And I did hit that old lady. She probably deserved it, parking in the middle of a 30 mph street.
