How hard does a ninety year old drive a car?

2005 Honda Accord EX-L Sedan $12,000, 39,000 miles.

This was my mother’s car. She bought it new in Florida.
I have the window sticker and the purchase invoice.
She kept receipts for EVERYTHING!. Including her car.
She died in May so we’re looking to sell it.
You can only drive (and pay insurance on ) so many cars.
She went to the honda dealer for everything. Oil changes.
Transmission flush, you name it. All the receipts are in the glove box.
The title is clear, changed into my name a month or so ago .
I just got it in the mail 2 weeks ago.
The car is in excellent condition. No accidents or repairs since purchased.

73,000 miles, $15,250 w/ 100k Mile Toyota Gold Warranty

2006 TOYOTA 4RUNNER SR5, 4×4

V8, moon roof, rear a/c, 7year/100,000 Mile Toyota Gold Warranty.

This 4Runner is a young person’s car that was owned by a 75 year old. 
We bought the car from the estate of the deceased florida man. 
His kids had driven it home to Massachusetts from the funeral. 
Much of the mileage on this car was put on during two annual round trips
between Florida and Michigan over the last 4 years. 
What does all this mean? 
Florida car + highway miles + elderly owner + Toyota quality + 100k warranty  =  Home Run for Dr. Ron.

26,000 miles, AWD, $12,000

2005 Subaru Forester X, AWD Automatic, Side air bags.  
Another rare find – a Subaru that has spent most of its life parked. 
This like new car was bought from the estate of an elderly woman in CT. 
On the way home David and Dr. Ron stopped at a Subaru Dealer
to inquire about a used low mileage Forester. 
The dealer showed us a dirty 30,000 mile 2004 that was bought at auction
from Hertz  Rental for the low “no haggle” price of $16,000.  Enough said.

38,000 Senior Citizen miles bought from estate for $9,600

2002 Subaru Outback LTD AWD Wagon 38,000 miles.
Two moonroofs, Side Air Bags. Heated leather power seats covered since new.

When the executrix of the estate told Dr. Ron
that her father had kept the leather covered since new,
it reminded Ron of his grandmother’s living room furniture always covered in plastic.
When these karmic moments occasionally come up, one needs to jump on the car.
Just what Joanna wanted for commuting to Rockland County.

Compact Extended Cab Pickup with Cap.

1997 Chevy S10 LS Extended Cab 4 x 4 Pickup.
Came with Bed Liner, Step Bumper, and matching Cap.
Bought with 45,000 miles for only $6,500.

When Kathleen told Dr. Ron that she and her husband needed a good 4×4 for $6,000,
Dr. Ron was up to the challenge. 
When she said it had to be a compact pickup in very good condition,
I considered going back to basic science research. 
Where does one find such a vehicle? 
The AARP classified? 
Anyway we found the truck
so now the Potoski’s can leave their Miata in the garage for the winter. 

70,000 mile Ford F-150, $2,000.

1999 Ford F-150 XL V6 Manual - Reg cab - 6ft bed.
New brakes, tires, battery, and tune-up.
Bought from an elderly (original) owner, in North Hampton MA.

Claire says: "Drives like a dream; just what I needed for my business."

This Gramp was a WWII vet — ie an Octogenarian.

2004 Chevy Venture LS Extended Van. 35,000 grandpa miles. $7,000.

Karmic Coincidences:

Seller (executor): Hilton Kelly
Buyer: Pat Kelly.

Seller’s address:  Winslow Drive
Buyers mother’s maiden name: Winslow

Deceased:
WW-II vet who blacked out behind the van wheel in a nursing home parking lot.
Buyer’s Dad (and beloved family patriarch):
WW-II vet who pulled many similar stunts behind the wheel
and in and out of hospital parking lots.

This business is getting weird.

On a more serious note:
This is the second car that Pat bought through Dr. Ron. She is a repeat customer
because the $5900 Dodge Stratus with only 4,000 miles worked out so well over the past six years.

63,000 Grandpa Miles for $2,900.

1999 Plymouth Voyager SE.  63,000 miles, $2,900.
V6, Automatic, 7 Passenger, Two Airbags, ABS, Two Sliding Doors,
Front and Rear A/C, Roof Rack.
Driven by Senior Citizen on Long Island for 10 years. (No dirt roads). 
Great car, clean, runs great. Well maintained with records.

Jonitha and Paul needed a cheap van to take kids camping. 
When they went to inspect the car, they got underneath with a flashlight,
and couldn’t believe how clean it was.
Jonitha called Dr. Ron and said: 
"Hi Ron, We went to look at the car; it’s sweet. 
It’s definitely our car.  It’s just great. It is so clean,
I can’t believe it’s 11 years old. 
I have never seen anything like it before.
Of course it has not lived on dirt roads, and that’s what I’m used to.

We are the proud owners of a sweet new car. It’s comfortable, quiet, big, roomy and luxurious.
Thank you so much for your help."

61,000 Arizona Grandma Miles  $6,250

2002 ALTIMA GXE.  TWO AIRBAGS, ABS, FULL POWER. 
After grandma passed away out west, her granddaughter (the seller)
drove the car home to Indiana, loaded it with suitcases,
and made two trips to NYC.  (That is a 3,000 mile test drive done for Dr. Ron). 
She then realized that parking in the Big Apple costs $400 per month,
and so put it up for sale…  Another home run.
 

27,000 Grandma miles.

2007 Ford Focus SE. 27,000 miles. $6,000. Automatic, CD, MP3.

This car was priced below wholesale.
There is only one other car on this page that shares this noble distinction.
Even the attorney placing the online ad knew it was cheap, so she wrote:

"2007 Ford Focus SE, 4 door Sedan (ESTATE SALE) only 27k miles,
Clean inside and out, runs well. The 1st $6,000 takes it.
4 cyl, Auto, Airbags, ABS, Power everything. Grandma’s Car."

Grandpa’s Ford Taurus.  Driven 4,000 miles per year.
