We rented a car dolly from Common Cents Rental in Fenton. Local businesses are cool and the only other suggestion I had was UHaul and I've never had a good experience with them. After driving around to 3 different credit unions trying to withdraw cash from my account we were ready to go. We were anxious to commit and I'm not great at negotiation so we pretty much just drove to Florissant, MO and bought it. Steve, the previous owner, helped us push it down the driveway and shove it up on the dolly.
My '03 Ford Ranger known as "the little guy" had no issues tugging it home. Here is Eli holding the title. The middle garage door there is where the Mustang will stay for a while.
We manually pushed/pulled the car into the garage. It was tough... but not as tough as trying to figure out how to get $2,000 in cash at one time when your credit union has no local branches.
Plain Jane coup with dents and dings and rust. As promised. I should have negotiated harder. I think he would have given a few more hundred. Oh well. Eli spent a few hours cleaning the car out. I was done for the day with other plans.
Car dolly rental: $48.31
Car: $2,000.00
This day cost: $2,048.31
Total project cost: $2,048.31
Glad to read that things went well for you. That would be quite the mission to try and round up two thousand dollars while having no local branch but it sounds like you got the job done. The car looks sweet, just needs a little tender loving care and should be good to go.
