The Replacement Vehicle

We were all sad to see the Durango replaced but we got a great truck in its place. Using the Costco Auto program we made an appointment at Rodland Toyota to test drive a Toyota Tacoma. We arrived at 9:30am and were assisted by a great salesman named Colin. We immediately were drawn to the truck on the showroom floor. We went over the available options and what we were looking for. Colin brought out a metallic gray truck for us to test drive. It was great...but we were still drawn to showroom model. We were hooked. We told him we wanted the one in the the showroom. They showed us the Costco price and we said fill out the paperwork. We were purchased and on the road in just under 3 hrs. Great experience!
The only problem was that we still had the Durango at home. We had listed it on Craigslist and had almost 30 responses in two days. The first girl that responded on Wednesday said she wanted it and she had cash. We were to meet her on Friday at 3:00. She showed up with 20 $100 bills and was very excited to take it off our hands. Her fiance was a mechanic and he was going to order a rebuild kit and repair it for her. It seemed to be a win for both parties.
