Good condition but elderly car for sale

[gingicat]

I am beginning the process of selling my beloved car in order to cut down on expenses, and then we'll have just the car we owe money on.

2004 Ford Focus, 130K miles, power package, good condition, needs a good interior cleaning, service record (from ABJ, Boston Automotive, Centre Automotive, and Dave Gardner) available. She had her (somewhat delayed) 100K mile checkup at ABJ last winter which included a scheduled timing belt replacement and several small bits along the way. Michael at ABJ can personally vouch for her being able to get at least another 25k miles.

She would be a good Lyfting car for a driver under 5'9" tall. Koshmom told me that she's nearly too old to be a Lyfting car. :(

I've often felt as though she is deliberately protecting me. You may not believe in that sort of thing.

Do you know anyone who might be interested? I will take the best reasonable-near-blue-book offer.

Arborist recommendation?

[laryu.livejournal.com]

Hi Davis Square. I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for an arborist. I have a few trees in my yard that need pruning and the arborist I had been using has moved from the area. (Plus my Angie's List subscription expired.) Any thoughts on trustworthy tree-trimmers would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sessa's successor

[jlauspitz.livejournal.com]

After 35 years in Davis Square John Sessa has sold his business to Giovanni Maione, a Johnson & Wales graduate from a Neapolitan baking/restaurant family. After a four-year stint at Four Seasons, Giovanni helped to launch his family's Waltham restaurant, La Campania, where he has worked since its founding in 1996.

Giovanni will retain the Italian delicatessen core of the Sessa's business and add a few new touches:

-- fresh baked bread (the oven arrived today) and other baked goods (e.g. ricotta pies)
-- a line of Neapolitan street dishes
-- more prepared foods
-- licensed seating for 20 persons indoors (+ 10 outdoors) for sit-down lunches and fresh espresso

He expects the new elements to be in place in about a month.

John Sessa will be at the store for the next three weeks to say goodbye to old customers.
