Guest Sunnie_Rose Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Thanks!Why is the small gravel ding such a turn off?... are the windshields hard to find? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest campolojr Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Yes, very as the car hasn't been in production for 17 years and only around 24,000 cars made through the three years. So if you do find a good used one your gonna pay around $800.00+ just for the glass let along shipping and insallation. Great car otherwise hope it sells.

Ronnie Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Where is it located? Reattaville? Seems Reattas were all the cars that were parked on that street... Maybe Reatta Ave. Add it to my website... see below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoytsur Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hey Sunnie, did your dad wrap his loving arm around your shoulder and say, "Sunnie, you're older now so I want to give you one of my prized, highly-cherished posessions ... one of my Reattas ... hope you're as proud to drive it as I have been" and then you said, "thanks, dad, I'll sell it immediately, love ya!"Just having some fun ...

Guest Sunnie_Rose Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 LOL.... I am much older now! He gave it to me because he though it would get better milage then what I am driving now... and it does, but really.... it's to nice, and to much a collectors item for me to put my 160 mile round trip commute miles on it... it would only decrease the value.We discussed it, and he was fine with me selling it... he has a few others that he is keeping that he likes much more... (as noted above, "Reattaville"... Dad got a kick out of the comment!) Also discussed the windshield with him... says he has replaced two, has the lead and it was only 350.00. I don't wnat to deal with it, so if someone wants the car, he will share the lead with them.And... yes... I do love driving it, it's like a little Cadillac...however since I have for almost 10 years driven a little SUV, I get a bit car sick!I've done some checking around... still don't have a firm asking price.... any suggestions from you pro's?Cheers,Sunnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoytsur Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Sunnie, John here ... I'm no expert but will offer my opinion, I repeat, opinion based on what I've observed over the past ten years. Honestly prices on these things are all over the map. Rugged ones seem to go for $1,500 to $3,000 and then better ones go up from there yet some nice ones go for cheap. Frankly folks tend to over-value them to an extent ... meaning saying one is worth $9,000 and getting it are two far different things.I like your research approach ... follow a couple Reatta eBay auctions to conclusion as well as following the ones that frequently sell on this web site. Or....... if you're eager to sell or at least test the market it wouldn't hurt to float a FREE craigslist.org ad at a high price and see if there are any bites. Your car seems to be in nice shape with reasonably low mileage so shoot high. Dealerships tend to do the $9,999.99 or $8,999.99 (you can go higher if you don't like the numbers I've tossed over the fence ... they just seem to be used most often) thing on many 1990s. Try it ... if you get too many anxious buyers, which I doubt, making you feel that the price is not high enough you can always turn buyers away (that's the beauty of Craigslist ... it is not a committment). If that price seems too steep you can come down to your comfort zone. One key is patience, you're selling a specialty car that requires a wanting buyer. That's one approach ... but again, just an opinion.Good luck, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sunnie_Rose Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Exceptional advise. I did talk to Dad again and he told me what he thought I should ask.Really I have something else to drive, don't need the cash, so I'm in no rush....once it sells, if it sells, I'll use the cash for a little grocery getter that gets better mileage for my commute, and not such a specialty car.I'll try craigslist .. easy enough, and see what happens.Cheers and Thanks!Sunnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
