Ouch! MY car got burned Options

[BlackCelicaGT94]

About twice a month people will come to the door asking if my brothers 1984 Toyota Celica-Supra is for sale and it kinda hurts my feelings that no one likes my car. :-(

Yesterday a guy and his 16 year old son came by cuz the son liked the car and they were wondering if it was for sale since they havent seen it move and my dad is horrible with people. This is how the conversation went

Guy - Hi. Im remodeling the house across the street and my son and i were wondering if the white celica was for sale since weve never seen it move
My dad - ABSOLUTELY NOT
Guy - ok then
My dad - It was stolen a year ago and im still in the process of getting parts to fix it. How old is your son anyways?
Guy - 16
My dad - He couldnt afford it anyways
ME in the background - DAD!!!!!! THAT WAS RUDE!
My dad - he couldnt afford the insurance on it either


anyways i was so embarassed that my dad would say that. We dont know what that kid could or could not own. Its a 10,000 dollar car but how do we know that the guy isnt rich? I know a 17 year old kids mom who bought him an 85 celica-supra for i think it was 15,000 or something. It just made me mad my dad would say that!

Makes me sad that no one comes asking if my cars for sale - sigh! Maybe if i left it sit there for long enough someone will ask.

I would never go to a house asking if a car was for sale even if i didnt see it move. its in the driveway but blocked in by my dads car so it wont be stolen again. Sucks when a car 22 years old is worth more than ur 12 year old car. lol.

it never hurts to try..

my cousin and i noticed this one 94 240SX sitting at some guy's back yard (no damages) for at least a year near our school, we decided to knock on his door to ask if he was selling it.. luckily, he didn't need the car. we then chitchatted for about 30 mins and got all friendly with the middle-aged guy (talking about cars and stuff), then he sold it to my cousin for $500 canadian.. fricken' sweet!
