Plugging away at raising funds for the down...I had a guy call me this morning frantically wanting to know if I'd sold the '89 Ford Escort that I had posted on KSL.com yesterday. Ummm yeah, that baby sold within 30 minutes of posting. I was asking $300, was offered $275 by a wrecking yard as long as it was a complete car. I sold it as a non-running vehicle, so the mechanical part of it is doesn't matter.
The second guy and I got to talking and he really needed the head, his is cracked and he's been riding his motorcycle all summer long, but winter's coming and he needs his car to be running. After some soul-searching to see what I thought of selling the head after I'd committed to sell the vehicle to someone else, I decided that it was ok. After all, it is a non-running car, no money has been exchanged and the car hasn't been picked up. So, after some haggling, I'm getting $50 more than expected.
Then, when I checked the PO Box today the Costco rebate check had arrived. That's another $150. CHA-CHING!
I tried calling the lender today to let her know that I no longer considered the 20% down a bust and that we needed to move along, but I had to leave a message.
A couple of things I missed looking into when we were touring the property:
The location of the septic tank
The location of the BBQ pit.
Verifying with the property owner that there really wasn't a propane tank although the listing says there's one.
How bad is the mosquito problem out there.
