the lowballers are thick out there...

have my car on craigslist and samba, you can not imagine the people and the questions they ask...one guy is concerned about rusting body panels (?),the lowest lowball is 10K(i was offended and did not return email) and the high of 13.5K, it is easily worth 15K and im holding out for it. might put it on ebay but i hear all the horror stories of people not paying when they win...

We are in a very bad economy, very very bad, that said, all cars are soft right now, well, except the million dollar collectables....
Seems more likely that some rich guy will buy a real speedster before you sell your fake one...
IMHO, If there was a bad time to sell a car it is right now....

im not desperate so i will just hang in there and hope for the best.

It's actually a good time to sell a used car. Many people can't afford a new car, so they're looking for a used vehicle. Guys on my Miata forum are complaining that the prices of used 2006/2008 MX5's are holding steady. Unfortunately, this does not apply to specialty vehicles, like speedsters.

I noticed better attendance at Carlisle this year compared to last. It is spring, so hang in there! I had good luck with ebay buying and selling a couple of vehicles. Try it, it ain't all bad!

a guy came out and looked/drove car, left and called today and wants it tomorrow if no rain.cash. fingers crossed here.

Hope it all works out, Bob!

Bob...there's a Bill of Sale document posted here somewhere; download it, print two copies, keep one. Good idea. Don't ask me how I know. Best of luck.

finally SOLD, cash in hand. what a PITA.

Bob,

Your buying the beer tomorrow at Bug-O-Rama.........;-)

Bob - was it really cash - as in hundred dollar bills maybe? Might be interesting to have it dusted for cocaine residue?

I got paid cash for a boat many years ago. Buyer handed me seventy five one hundred dollar bills. Afterwards, darling wife and I threw them around just for fun. Neither of us ever carry more than $100 cash. Some people carry a big role. Hard to relate.

Bob--congrats on the sale. In selling businesses I find that many sellers think only of the money and forget that getting it DONE is also an objective. Of all the businesses that ever go on the market only 20% ever sell, and one reason is that all a seller thinks of is top dollar. (The #1 reason is poor or no financials and a seller can't answer the simple question, "What does the business make?"
So, if you got an ok price plus you gor 'er done, you did good.

Ebay-this is another good way to sell stuff. Last year I sold 4 banjos for about $17,000 total. The last two were sold with no minimum and I couldn't believe the action on these auctions compared to the first two with minimums. More bids and a better seling price. If I were to sell something again on Ebay I would go the "no minimum" route. Seems scarey I know but it did work well for me. (I did have a back up plan in case the biddng only reached $10. though!)

Anyway--glad your deal is done and hope you get another Speedster ASAP.

He already took care of that.........check out that grey beauty in his photos.
