Questions? Concerns? Comments?

Is the price way out of line??? Nobody like bright yellow? lol

This looks like solid deal. Maybe $5,500 cash would be a quicker sale. Looks like very nice car. Its probably worth 6, but it just seems like as soon as you hit the number 6+ people don't bother looking. Try your local craigslist? Thats probably your best bet.

 

[probin94]

id say at best you'd get 5000 if that. matt v was thinking of selling his....looks like his in better condition...not by much. but it was a consensus that hed get like 4500 max. these things dont have a high resale value. ive seen msp's for only a few thousand more heavily modded. not trying to hate just tellin it like it is.

 

[Mad Mike]

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Like with anything, start high. If someone came to me and said 5500 cash that would be fine, but if I lowered the price to 5500 then I doubt Id even get 5200. I cant believe the prices that dealers want for these cars.

Probin, I understand what you mean. and you might be correct when it comes to enthusiast sights like this. But to the average consumer, lots of mods hurt resale value and put a stereotype on the car, such as it was raced or abused and loses it's reliability aspect.

I appreciate both of your input. Constructive criticism is always useful. I'll put it on CL when I get back in town on Mon and see what happens.

no problem...the only reason i say that is i think all he has our exterior mods...i dont think he has any engine mods. just a clean car. they just dont go for a lot. its sad. (shrug)

heres a link to his if you wanna see what everyone else was saying about pricing.

[ajkulish]

would you be willing to sell front strut bar?

 

[Mad Mike]

would you be willing to sell front strut bar?

Yes!!!! For $5900 you can have the bar and everything attached to it.

 

[ajkulish]

lmao no thanks

 

[rvelasc0]

you have a PM.

 

[Mad Mike]

Out of a Job Bump.

Need it gone ASAP.

$5,400 is the payoff on it.

ABS light is now flashing a code 22. and have adjusted the price down to payoff to reflect.

Thanks
Mike

 

[speed3guy]

Id be interested... but Idk if your like my offer nor take it. 4500 and Im local. Brutal I know.. and Im sorry lol.

 

[Mad Mike]

Bump.

I've never sat on a car for this long. I can definitely tell the economy sucks.

 

[Mad Mike]

The car has black LEATHER (nana)

Apparently leather was not an option too many people ordered. I'm amazed at the amount of cars that came with cloth.


Come and get it!!! Yeah!!!

 

[Kyle H]

Is this car still available? Honestly being in texas with leather kinda blows but I could deal. PM me and lets talk.

 

[Mad Mike]

Wow. Talking to a few friends tonight made me realize how many people don't like leather. Hell, I couldn't live without.

Over 4 months and still no buyer. am I going to have to repaint it silver? geesh. I just saw my "twin" sold at a local dealer for 7k!!!!! I went in and asked for myself what they paid out the door with 113k. and yes, I asked if they would buy, but for next to nothing.

Kyle has had a pm for a few. I'm almost tempted to take the 4.5k offer.

 

[IlliniFrank]

Would you be looking trade the grill for a stock grill?

 

[hornsfan10609]

It may sell easier with a stock grille on it, food for thought.

I agree with Horns.(yes) We can help each other out. I don't mind meeting you so we don't have to bother with shipping.
