About this 1987 Volkswagen Cabriolet

VIN: WVWCA0158HK027662

Eric's 1987 VW Cabriolet was not just a car; it held many memories. From late-night drives with friends to weekend trips to the coast, this vibrant azul-colored car was unique to him.

With his oldest son's graduation fast approaching and his second son ready to start his college career, Eric decided it was time to sell the Cabriolet. He hoped to find someone who would love it as much as he did.

He found Classic.com, a good place to sell classic cars. Eric took clear photos of the Cabriolet, showing its excellent condition inside and out. He wrote an engaging description, including its maintenance history and his favorite memories with the car. After working hard on the listing, He published it with a mix of hope and nostalgia.

Soon, people from across the country showed interest in the car. One buyer wanted to turn the Cabriolet into a beach cruiser for his family. After a video call, they agreed on a fair price. Eric felt bittersweet but satisfied.

When the new buyer traveled to New Jersey with their flatbed to pick up the Cabriolet, they connected over their love for classic cars. Eric handed over the keys, and he watched and waited as the new purchaser prepared to drive away with a big grin on his face and the top down, feeling good about their decision. Eric warned him that the state police might pull him over if he continued to ride in the car on the trailer, but the buyer insisted, telling him, "It's mine now, baby! I can do whatever the *(&^%!* I please!"

Afterward, Eric followed the new purchaser's adventures online, keeping track of the Cabriolet at California beaches roasting marshmallows and at local car shows. Eric was so happy to see his old treasure bringing joy to new families. Eric realized that while some chapters end, new ones begin, creating lasting connections.
