The end of Vicki :(

Post by ScoobyDoo82 »

Well Vicki is getting sent to the JY tomorrow :(. I plan to do one last video of her before we send her off. I'll have that and so pics in about 30 minutes so check back at about 4:45pm EST for them. And before you guys all start freaking out, its not my choice to scrap it, i would have personally cleaned it up good and sold it but my sister doesnt want to so thats Vicki's fate.

Yeah, thats my exact issue. I would rather sell her than scrap her, there are people out there who are looking for a cheap car that they can mess with, but like I said its not my choice

I DON'T GET IT!!!!!!!!! At the very least you could donate it to a charitable organization. They in turn could give it to someone who desperately needs transportation. And you could get a tax writeoff. :-k

That van is in great shape. Way better than my 93 when I was still driving it. Dude I say let it go to the wrecker then walk in 10 minutes later and offer em double what they paid for it before it gets branded.

Sad to see her go! I agree it is in great shape for being a Wayne County (salted road to the extreme!) van! Definitely look at donating it. Convince your sister for sure.

Has your sis seen any of the posts on here? It's a sin to do that to Vicky. Can't you offer to pay her what the yard would give her for it? Hell, if you weren't so far away I'd come get it.

If any of you are willing to buy her and can pick it up relatively soon, I can convince my sister to do that but otherwise shes heading to the jy.

That sucks man, sorry to hear that. If I had the room and wasn't in my perdicament right now I might buy it. It seems to me that a running vehicle is worth a couple hundred so I wonder how much the yard is going to give for it.
