Bye Bye Car

Yesterday I had some good news. My friend in Wagga, Luke, is going to buy my Falcon Station Wagon off me.

I have been trying to sell it for a little while and I am glad that I have finally sold it. Although it was a good car it is quite draining on the finances having to register, insure, service etc etc a second car.

Whilst it is good that I have sold it, some things I really liked about the station wagon were:

- It would seat 5 people comfortably on a long trip.

- I had lots of good times with friends and youth group going on adventures all over the place.

- You can put all sorts of stuff in the back. It was especially good for those trips to Bunnings where you need to transport long sections of timber home.

- It was pretty inexpensive to buy in the first place (I got it from my old work at the trade in price) at $9000.

- After owning it for 3 years and having done 50000kms in it, I sold it for $6000 which means that it has only depreciated $1000 a year (pretty good for a car of it's type).

- You can sleep in the back. The roominess isnt great but it is a great option in a pinch.

- I did my first adventure drive (along the coast to adelaide and back along the Sturt) in it and for the 3000 or so km's I drove I never had a problem.

- Oh, and this picture reminded me that it also can tow things! :)

So although it is gone (well it will be as of Saturday) it has well and truly earnt it's place on the cool wall of cars I have owned.
