Here’s a good one…I was browsing around used cars for sale in my area. It occurred to me that I’ve had my truck for 3 years now. It’s darn near perfect in every way other than 245K miles on the odometer. So as I’m browsing some internet bots pick up my trail. I get a call from my local AutoNation…really nice lady, hey, come on down and we’ll give you an appraisal on your truck. The other day just for spits and giggles I took it over there. They keep me waiting 40 minutes before coming out to tell me, well, we’re prepared to offer you $500 for your truck sir.
I say, “hey, thanks, can I get the keys back?” As they hand them back they say - How about $1000?. Again I say thanks a lot and head out the door to my truck. I get in, start it, and 2 people come running out- - “roll your window down - listen, we’ll give you $1500 for it right now.” I said - “Well, that’s about 3/4 of the way to the cost of my wheels and tires I bought last year.” Then I drove away.
It’s pretty much what I had anticipated but I still had to say to myself…”You gotta be frickin kiddin me…!!!”
