Today we sold the car. It's hard to believe we won't be driving anymore, but at the same time driving in Moscow is not everyone's cup of tea. In fact, it's a bit of a nightmare and requires headache-ensuring concentration. Plus it was getting rather cold at night. Still, I will miss the convenience and the freedom it offered.
It wasn't easy selling it either, so in a way I am also happy it's gone and not our problem anymore. We spent a full day at the car market yesterday, and didn't get a single offer (two people who seemed sort of interested took our number and I never heard from them again). Apparently, Moscovites don't go for right-hand drive vehicles, especially not manual ones. People would come up to us, shake their head and tell us that our car won't be easy to sell. We were just discussing what to do if it doesn't, when an Azerbaijani walked over, and in a seemingly random way told us what he was willing to pay for it and did we want to sell?
He was a strange buyer - asked no questions about the car, didn't look at the engine, didn't take it for a test drive - never even got behind the wheel! The whole transaction took about 5 minutes.
