Gasp! We sold the car!

The sale does deserve a somewhat dramatic headline. We decided to let our car agent sell the car on sgcarmart.com on Wednesday, he posted it on Thursday and by Friday, we've got a deposit in hand with the scheduled handover date of Sunday!! We barely had time to react before we're no longer driving "our" Audi babe...

The buyer is also an interesting lady - CEO of a car distributorship and I won't go into detail. She's been in the business for over 30 years and seems to have a soft spot for young sales folks like my car agent. She says sales is a hard life and we need to give the young ones a break...

While waiting for the transaction to take place, she gave a little insight into her entrepreneurship philosophy. She says that in business if you make money, it's a bonus. You must be prepared to lose and see it as part of the game so that you will always have an appetite for risks and gambles. She says that's how she managed to build up her business. We saw some super cars in her showroom...few have the guts to buy and sell such cars so it's quite clear she's still living her philosophy.

Well from this exercise, we've also learned about selling cars directly to buyers so in future, we won't need to go through the agent. It's very easy and sgcarmart.com has very clear instructions.

So "thank you" me dearest car! You've kept us safe and taken us around. We've so many happy moments with you. I hope you enjoy the next stage of your "life" with your new owners!
