This has been quite amusing...thanks for sharing! Sorry it's been such a hassle to get the car sold, I hope it works out soon for you.
I believe that Mr. Vandoorne has contacted me on numerous occasions regarding the millions of dollars he would like to secure for me from banks in Kenya and Nigeria. How kind of him.
Isn't he thoughtful? ;)
We have had a few nibbles this week, so hopefully we'll have a buyer soon. I guess it doesn't matter much at the moment (beyond peace of mind), because we don't have a move date yet anyway. We just felt a bit panicky when we realized the dealer wouldn't buy it. We thought that would be a last resort, but having that taken away made it seem more urgent, despite having several weeks to go.
