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.

Tempting but I don't wanna get rid of them.

Pos-I'm a fan of the js stuff
Understandable, I hate the AP1 wheels, they make the car look so goofy.

I have a buyer, and your offer was ridiculous. You're better off buying a tsx with 200,000+ miles.

I have one with 185k

$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.

Considering I've lowered the price already to an already fair price, yes, it was ridiculous. I've had multiple offers of $6500, but I wouldn't sell it for that because I need the money to put towards the new car. If I couldn't get the amount I want, I would keep it for another 2 years or so.

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.

I'm pulling $7713 standard in good condition and $6500 fair???? Offering me $6000 was ridiculous.
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.

Not my first car sale, if someone offers me a low price, I normally don't respond, especially on here. From past experience, I've noticed people who offer low, will stay moderately low.

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.
