How very dare you! :o
I ONLY sell the very best of cars (too cheaply obviously).
Spent half the day yesterday trying to get the bolts off one of the calipers of the Z3. They haven't been undone in a while, that's obvious.
So any timescale you had in mind for me selling the car is going to need extending somewhat.
Went out and bought a new tyre compressor yesterday as my (not very) old one was playing up. Turns out the fag lighter socket in the car was so rusty inside it wouldn't make a good contact. Cleaned it all up and old compressor was fine. So have two tyre compressors now!
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

And of course you have had a windfall. So there must be a bit of cash to spare.๐Ÿ˜‰
