Ah, but _this_ time I have the magic form, which they supposedly
believe when it comes to valuation.  But with inspection, plates,
and tax it'll probably be pushing that number anyway.  Right
out of my pocket, too, and then the dweebs get to pay the tax, etc.
_again_.  (The avoidance of which is what I was trying to offer
prospective purchasers by being the 'mechanic' rather than the
'dealer'.  But no way that can realistically be done by proxy.)
