60FlatTop Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Sometimes it takes a while for a seller to get a realistic idea of the value of their car.Year 1: Owner dies, pictures of beloved car displayed at memorial service, friends and relatives estimate value (most common $1,000 for every year of age). Children fight over whom gets the car. Child inherits car and fight with IRS over inflated value.Year 3: After sitting in the heir's garage, boxes, bicycles, ladder, and mowers are moved and car is licensed. Car leaks water and oil, overheats, and will not start reliably. Heir gets permission from wife to have "fixed up". Wife listens in during phone call from the shop and explodes at the repair estimate.Year 4: Car sits in garage, boxes, bicycles, ladder, and mowers huddle around car. Imitation Christmas tree stored on roof scratching finish. Window left open, cat uses front seat for scratching post. Family cars parked outside.Year 5: Boxes, bicycles, ladder, Christmas tree, and mowers are moved. A friend with a tow cable pulls car out and to the side of the garage. Discover brakes have failed. Die cast grille and headlight broken. Bumper, fender, and paint damage. Covered with tarp.Year 7: Moved to reseed lawn and restore grass. Wind caused tarp to rub paint off all raised surfaces. Tarp held moisture, faint musty smell overpowered by the smell of racoon urine, forgot to roll up window.Year 8 through 10: Paint blisters, tires deflate. Car is partly buried from snow plowing to make room for Christmas gathering. Sibling asks if that is Dad's old car by garage, quiet dinner.Year 12: New neighbors move in and report the car to code enforcement. "I like old cars, but the kids are afraid to play in the yard after seeing the racoon.Year 12 and 6 Months: "For Sale: Classic Car, rare model, stored indoors most of its life, needs some work for show. Must sell in 30 Days."Yep, 10 or 12 years is about right.And always remember to use some of your inheritance to buy a private cell phone if you don't have one!Bernie Edited December 17, 2014 by 60FlatTop (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
