My brother Bob recommended to Jill that she sell her 2000 Toyota Echo herself rather than trade it in on the Honda. He thought she would get much more money for it that way. I will admit that I was skeptical and doubted that it would be worth what I thought would be a major effort.
So after multiple extensive phone conversations between Bob and Jill, she placed an ad in last weekend’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution. It also appeared, with photos (taken by Jill) including the one above, on the AJC.com website.
She got four or five phone calls before a father and son showed up on Sunday afternoon, looked it over, drove it, and bought it on the spot at Jill’s asking price, $1,750 more than the Honda dealer offered in trade. We meet at the bank Monday morning and closed the deal.
Everyone is happy: the new owner, his father, Jill and me. Thanks Bob!
