There was no reserve on the vehicle, so I waited until the last seconds to drop in my bid. I had set my "threshold of pain" at about $18,500.00, but got it for $16,500.00. The car was owned by one of the Kellogg family of Battle Creek, Michigan. It was "mama's" car, and she didn't like it, so she traded it in on a Lincoln Town car. It had but 3,038 miles on the clock! It still has less than 20,000 on it. This last spring, I found another, to keep at a place in Wisconsin where we spend some summer months. It, likewise, is a 2005, but in a dark metallic gray, with just over 20,000 miles. Great little cars that, when well cared for, will only go up in value!
Wow! Owned by one of the Kellog family? Let's hope not by one of the flakes in the family.
Corny joke eh?
