Sold my Baby

Post by markiver54 » Fri Oct 16, 2020 9:38 pm

Came down from the mountain cabin yesterday to meet with a fellow coming from TN.
He came today and bought my one owner `99 Ford Lightning. I'm a bit bummed tonite that she's gone. Sad, because I've owned her since new. Only 30K miles and showroom shape....oh well...time to move on. :cry:

Good luck with the Toyota 4 Runner search. They hold there value and are pricey. Ive looked at them myself and would love to have one. Gonna just pass for now.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I think the Toyota will be a much better vehicle. You did the right thing.

Sounds pretty close Mark. Good way to check it out though is with Carfax.
