IS YOUR CAR STILL FOR SALE?

So much can happen from one email…the sequence tells the story.
Hi Bruce
A couple months I saw it on trademe, it’s still for sale?

It’s still for sale, as I’m home in Japan now! What do you need to know, the car is garaged in Auckland all wrapped, serviced and ready for a new owner?
Cheers

Hi Bruce
I had a read through your blog in the past so I have most of the details. I mentioned I’m in Auckland on the 25th June 2nd July and 17th -22nd July. So for now if I could have a look would be great.  And when you back in NZ we can meet for more details. Quick details to my person I’m originally from Switzerland   I traveled lots in my youth and then I got stuck in NZ where it is a great place to bring up kids.
Kind Regards
Stefan

Hi Bruce
How are you? I met your brother Grant yesterday he showed me your 7 and we had a good chat. I’m very impressed your perfection and how details are designed even small ones. We didn’t go for a drive it was too wet I’m back in Auckland on the 9th of July and hopefully it’s not raining then so we can go for a drive. I ask you, what your expectations are when it comes to the money.
Kind Regards
Stefan

I’m glad you got to see my car; it’s had a great deal of thought put into making it a very special 7! I really enjoy the details – they simply make the difference from so many other 7s, driving is your next step and that’s what really puts a smile on your face!

Price, well it’s very fairly priced at 37.5k but I’m open to sensible offers…you’ve seen the price of the build and you’re very aware of other 7s on the market! Drive and then we can certainly meet with a figure that keeps us both happy! I’m really pleased as my brother assured me your genuine interest and concern with being a 7 owner! Keep in touch
Cheers

Then, after the test drive prices were discussed and a sale was agreed upon. I must admit it was so strange to actually selling my car that had been such a part of my life and enjoyed by many others. I am equally happy with the new owner; Stefan will certainly look after and add his part to this cars history.

The empty space in the garage is a concern!
