Had 2 guys come look at it today. The first guy seemed very interested and looked the car over good and hard, but then offered $2000. I said no. He started blabbering about how its a buyers market out there and that I shouldn't expect more than $2000 for it. I told him I am very familiar with the market and that I should have no problems selling it for $2500.

The nexy guy showed up an hour later and looked it over good and hard also. We took it for a test drive and found out that the ECC was not directing the air properly I had never used it so I didn't know. He seemed OK with it. He offered $2500 cash and I said SOLD! He is a 33 house appraiser and needs a good looking car for his customers. He loved it.

Here is a pic of him and one of his 3 kids.

I prefer not to. If I was the buyer I would hate to come across this thread. Also, if something were to go wrong with it, he could make my life hell.

the first guy did and we even talked about BC for a bit. The 2nd guy didn't even really glance at my car, even though I just got done detailing it and it was parked right next to it.

Good job and Haro, well done

I can see your point about not inviting him to join just yet, give him a few months then call him back

Ok, let'* start taking bets on what Haro will find next.

I'm going to bet that the next car will be a Grand Prix GT.
