Local S2000/Ferrari F40 owners dicsussion thread
I'd say option C. Everything B has, with no side Strakes. Thats a permanent hole in the side of your car, and looks really dumb if/when the side strake gets ripped off. They make litlte plugs for the holes, but they look like crap.
I have a buyer, and your offer was ridiculous. You're better off buying a tsx with 200,000+ miles.

$1,300 less than asking price isn't ridiculous, especially considering its been for sale for a year. Asking $7300 and being offered $5k would have been ridiculous, at my offer; if you countered in the middle, we would have only been $650 away.
$650 is ridiculous?
Glws either way.

I've checked craigslist and the only cars that are cheaper than mine, are ones with 190,000+ miles. And they're priced at $6500.
That doesn't mean their pricing is realistic. A fully optioned tsx with 145k in fair condition is listed at 7k on KBB. Your car is not fully optioned and according to the definitions given by KBB and NADA it is on the border line between "fair" and "good" condition. It doesn't sound like his offer was unreasonable at all as far as a starting point in a negotiation. It sounds like you think your car is in better condition than it really is.

If I were saying "I'm sucking dick for money, please buy my car", then that offer would have been fair to me. But, I'm not in need of money, just looking to buy something different.
And no, I don't think my car is better than what it really is. I'm selling it tomorrow for $7000, which in my opinion, is a very fair price.

It seems like you don't understand how this process works.. I sincerely doubt he expected you to accept his offer outright. Perhaps there's a reason you've been trying to sell that thing for quite some time.

Also, the car has been for sale for a long time, yeah. But, not because it couldn't have sold, I just never pushed it to be sold until just recently. Once I put a price, that's the price I stay at until I feel comfortable lowering it to a fair price again. I'm just like that, if I can get more money, than I will, but, I don't over charge for anything.
If he wasn't the 10th person to offer me that, I probably wouldn't have said much about it, just happened to catch me in a some what pissy mood.
