No offense, but I'd burn my car to the ground before I sold it for 6K. Did you see the few pics I posted of my car? Bother to read my sig and see the list of mods and details in the car? Sure it's not a GN, but it handles better, rides better, and stops better than one. Also, it's probably a helluva lot more fun to drive because you're rowing your own gears instead of having the car shift for you. 
And not for nothing, but they're asking $8950 for the silver '87 Aero in the link that Scott posted, and that car has been repainted (check the silver air dam on the front, it should be black), the stripes are not in the correct location (too low), and it's got the wrong steering column in it too so it's not as "all original" as they claim. So why can't my car bring at least that much? |
Dude look I wasnt trying to offend you. I never said that I dont think your car is awesome or that you poured a ton of your heart and soul into it. Its just the fact of the matter. I work in the classic cars market everyday. Advertised price is exactly that, advertised price. It doesnt mean its going to sell for that much or even close.
I love your car man. Hell I was going to idolize your car as my reference when I still had my 87 until it got hit. I'm sorry if it came off that I dont think your car is worth 11-13G's. I certainly do but the market is just so small for guys that can actually look at something for what is invested into it, then its even smaller because its a "newer classic", then add the economy and it just doesnt add up to a person being able to sell a car like yours for that kind of money.
5 years ago when Mopars were still selling for $200k, and ****** corvettes were worth $80,000 cause they were "survivors" you probably coulda gotten that kinda of money for your car easily. The fact of the matter is I just sold an all original 61 red/white convertible corvette for $45,000 damn dollars. It was a $55,000 car a year ago and a 65-70,000 car 4 years ago.
Thats all I'm saying man please dont act like I think your car isnt worth squat or something like that. And I'm certainly not sitting here say "Eh its worth just as much as any other clean Monte SS 3-5 grand".
