So as many of you knew, I was somewhat attempting to sell BeBe. The instigator behind this was towing a trailer last year with the 4Runner and the wife and realizing that the "glamping life" isn't a bad one. So I had originally planned to start aggressively trying to sell the 60 in the spring with the intent that she would be gone by the end of next year. I decided to throw some "For Sale" signs in the windows just to see what kinda response I would get.
Well I got the occasional tire kickers, lots of thumbs ups and a few "why are you selling THAT. They don't make them like that anymore!"
Not really seeing a whole lot of interest after we got back from seeing family for Thanksgiving I had planned on taking the signs down for the holiday and putting them back up again later. No real need or motivation to aggressively sell her. Well, the monday after Thanksgiving I am sitting in my office and I get a call on my sell, a woman wants to look at it. So I talk with her via text, they plan to come by that evening to look at her and take a test drive. Well low and behold, she is someone who has been on the hunt for a cruiser for a little while, seems enthusiastic and has no problem piloting BeBe around in the quick test drive. Afterwards we chat more, and I am honest with the things that are going on, paint needs some touch up, oil pan needs replacement, carpet is pretty bad in the rear and interior was my next phase and was going to need work but was otherwise sound inside and out.
No problem, she is all for it and asks if I will take a cashier's check. Done, I am good with that, no haggling on price or anything?
Well, we make arrangement then have to change them to this Sunday (yesterday) for her to pick up. So now BeBe has gone to a new home. Someone that is super stoked to have a new toy, not a daily driver, and is willing to learn on her. Best of all she is going to be local and keeping my plates! So you will see BeBe running around occasionally with the FJ6TY plates on her.
