$250 1992 Astro

Post by ellabilt »

Here's one of my previous vans. I bought this one for $250. Had $600 in it when it was ready to sell. Sold it in one day for $1400. I love deals like that!

Ellabilt, I seem to have it backwards--typically, I buy a vehicle for $1400, but a scad of money into it, and then end up selling it for $250. If I'm lucky.
You'll excuse me if I hang around you and hope that your traits rub off, won't you?

Well, they don't always go that well. The hardest part to learn was to be able to walk away from a deal if the profit wasn't in it, no matter how much I liked it or wanted it. Don't buy on emotion.
