Feeling as if we had gotten farther in our attempt to buy the car than anyone recently we decided to talk with the owner again. Even thought the previous discussions ended without a commitment to sell the car, the fact that the husband had allowed us to inspect it gave us hope.

We waited until Monday to make a second attempt to purchase the car. This was only hours before I had to get on an airplane and return to Seattle.

With cash in pocket to back up my position, I approached the house with the sole purpose being to make a deal for the Charger.

After assuring the owners husband I was serious about purchasing the car and that I had cash in my pocket the long process of first convincing the owner to sell then agreeing on a price began. The deal took about 30 minutes of negotiations with the husband playing the role of broker. At long last the owner agreed to sell and a price was agreed upon.

Another 30 minutes was then spent by the owner trying to locate the car's title. When it could not be found the owner agreed to request a duplicate title. To speed this process Bob Mitchell agreed to hand carry the required documents to the DOT the following day.  With this agreement in place my father and I thanked the husband for his help and left.

I made my way back to Seattle that evening.
