It was odder than it appeared, but all is well. Minivan is headed to girl scout troop duty, so good. Buyer came from downtown via our local rail service. At a quaint train station downtown a person begging the commuters for funds acted the part of Jim Morrison to my confused Wayne. He showed me the local train map on the back of the ticket machine, pointed me to up the tracks where we could see the next station/stop, and debated various auto routes to arrive there. Then Ms. RandomBuyer and I sat at simultaneous computers while she bid to current highest price and I closed to highest price. Then she gave me cashier check, I signed off the title, and she drove away.
Funds differ somewhat from the indications as we had already agreed on the price, but had to ensure the buyer won the auction.

A will need a car in 3 yrs, so the money is already put aside for that purpose.
