I stand in awe of both of you gentlemen!

Way back in the last century (like from the 1950s to later 1980s) when we had our Ford tractor dealership I would get a lot of kidding about the way I would prep out ("Hey, its only a tractor, not a Lincoln") a used/trade-in tractor. I once had an 8N tractor sold to a pair of "older unmarried sisters" (read the non-PC term of old maids here) who had purchased and paid for the tractor before we had even unloaded it from the original trade-in. After about a week or so of work we delivered it and they were quite insistent that they did not purchase a new tractor and would not pay any more money. I had to insist that this was indeed the tractor they purchased and there would not be any more money needed. We all laughed about that so some time afterwards.
