    to take his car with him.  He has an 85' Laser XE Turbo with around
    5000 miles on it.  He is asking a minimum of $12,500 but would like
    to get $13,500.

    there till December 20th when it will be going to Bethsna, MD. till
    Jan 10.  He must have the car sold by Jan 7th, otherwise it will be
    driven to the west coast.

While I realize that particulars of your brother's situation may not
permit this option, I would really recommend looking into shipping the
car overseas.  Most frequently with a car of this type you can make a
substantial profit by selling the car overseas before you return.  Some
considerations are the period of time required by the destination
country after which you don't have to pay customs fees and duties, and
things like licensing and storage in the destination country.  I had a
66 Mustang that I bought for $3500 new, and sold for $800 in 1971.  I
could have shipped it to Johannesburg for about $800, driven it for
two years, and sold it for at least $10000 (that's ten thousand) with
the new owner believing that they had a real bargain.  Even if you
break even, it may be a good deal.  Just fodder for the grey matter.
