Sorry about the Dawson reference Scott, I thought that was your name! You are right that last sentence was a compliment and a sincere one! But I also have a little bit of knowledge about selling junk as I have been in the Pawn Business for 20 years and I have several locations and have sold everything from Candlestick Holders that sat on George Washingtons dinner table for a 1/4 million dollars, Every single one of Alvin Walton of the Washington Redskins 3 Superbowl rings, Andy Warhol paintings, cars, boats , trailers , gold, junk vcr's and anything else you could think of and that includes a lot of junk I promise you! I also have a small collection of cars 15 of them and have been buying and selling Muscle Cars for over 20 years and I know quality when I see it and I know Junk! All I was saying was the car doesn't present itself very well and probably has been wrecked even if the title is clear. In Virginia where I live they don't give salvage titles, if your car is totaled and rebuilt and put back on the street it gets a regular title, so to me clean title means nothing! I think you are taking this personally and its not! I sell junk all the time and make a good profit on it to but if I put a diamond ring on this board and asked the guys what they think of my cracked ice, yellow included, diamond engagement ring they might lamblast me! That doesn't mean I still can't make money on it, but if I have it listed for the price of a VS1 G color stone I know a hail storm awaits me! I personally think if you were offered 130k for that car and didn't take it you are either lying or are not nearly as smart as your vast history of wheeling and dealing suggests? Because no matter what reasoning you want to use, the fact of the matter is there has to be a discount for damage and mileage! And your car has a lot of both! And if it is being marketed as a race car, you surely know they sell for quite a discount as well as most have been run hard and put away wet!
And in a previous post on this board there are several recent sales listed and some cars were in new condition with virtually no mileage selling in the high 130's low 140's. Do the math and then tell me what person of reasonable intelligence would turn down 130k for your car or for that matter make an offer for that price? Helen Keller?
All I am saying now is the same thing I was saying before, nice car in the 100k range anything more than that is not a good deal to me! The other people reading this would have to tell you yourself what they consider a good deal but to me its not!
And isn't everybody looking for a good deal? I know I am, how about you?
Maybe I am the one who is not being reasonable here? I don't know?
Either way nothing personal! and good luck with the sale!
