We sold our 2006 3SS black SSR tonight. We had not even planed on selling it yet. I was at Costco last Wed and waited for a nice newer Z71 Chev pick up to park and for the driver to get out. The driver was a lady in her mid 50's got out and walked to the rear of her truck. I pulled in and parked putting up my wind shield shade and farted around like most 60 plus old guys do. I got out and this lady is standing at the rear of my SSR and smiles and says I would like to talk to you about you truck. It was not the usual what the hell is that thing. I said sure, she said my husband has been looking for a black SSR for years. She went on about how everything was blacked out and how nice it looked. Then she said would you be willing to sell it and I said sure for the right price. I gave her my number and went on and did my shopping.
Well days pass and I forgot about her and went out Tuesday morning and washed and polished the R. I noticed the wear bars on my rear Nexens were finally down and called the local tire shop and they had them in stock and made an appointment for the afternoon. Well just as soon as I hung up guess who calls. The women wanted to bring here husband out that evening to look at the truck. I told her we have a standing dinner date every Tuesday night with our neighbors who are 80 years old. So Wednesday night was agreed on. Wednesday morning I'm out working on the blend door fix suggested by ED in Florida which started clicking last Thursday . I looked up after almost standing on my head for 10 minutes and there is this lady and her husband standing at the back of the R. They introduce themselves and I explained what I was doing. They said can you finish it today and I said in a few hours. The lady explained her husband was so excited he took off from work to look at the truck and said the were sorry they didn't call.
I started the truck for him and operated the roof so his wife could see it as a convertible. They said they would return with a cashiers check at 6:00 PM after her husband got off work as a diesel mechanic. Well I finished up and also changed the oil as it was due in 500 miles and I already had the filter and oil in stock as every serious owner does.
Well guess what they're knocking at the front door at 5:00 pm and I said lets go for a test drive and he said I can tell by the way your garage looks and the way the truck looks I don't need to. They came in filled out all the transfer paper work handed me the cashier check and I backed out the truck and gave a run down on the roof operating the window indexing. I leaned in and gave him a hand shake and he had the biggest **** eating grin I have ever seen. PS the reason they didn't call earlier was his wife had miss placed the phone number and he dumped out the trash bin at work and she spent a whole day digging thru the trash and found the number. I was very sad to see DSRUPTR go, but I guess things just lined up in the universe. I want to thank everyone on this site like TOPSPIN, Dicktater, ED in Florida, Mike in AZ and everyone else that makes this a great group. Keep the grin going.:liebe011:
