Group, Thanks a lot for your responses. There's nothing to hide about the car but I would've been far more satisfied if the buyer had at least taken some time to evaluate the auto a bit more thoroughly, taken it to a shop, etc. Ironic, but it would've given me some peace of mind - LOL! He didn't eve...
Jump to postPoint noted Tugger! Only reason I am a bit curious is because if he happens to see a mechanic or go to a Firestone within the next few days or weeks, I don't want him calling me with annoying post-sale complaints about these "recommended services" or tell me some new discoveries made by another serv...
Jump to postThanks a lot for your responses. I was expecting a trip to the mechanic for a check up but was surprised that it didn't happen. I was also ready to give $500 off my asking price, but he demanded only a $200 discount and got it. God! I can't imagine how can people be so loosey-goosey about buying a c...

Jump to postHi Team, I've noticed over the past few years that with many airlines, younger pilots (30ish+) are at the controls of the heavies - A330, A340, 777, 747, 767, etc. In the 80s, 90s; your typical 747, 777 captain/FO seemed like a grey haired middle aged man in his 50s & with thousands of hours beh...
