30DodgePanel Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 That's hilarious... what an idiot. I can just hear the owner of the white Nissan... "HEY!!!!, Get that piece of #@$% away from my car man" ! !!! I'd give him $50 just to crush it - and to rid the poor roadways of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyasher Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Rare = not done... It will be for sale for a long time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackofalltrades70 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 In his case, done does not equal $10,000.00. Probably good candidate for demo derby car in its condition. BUT, only if an adult buys it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 That's a lot of money for a 500 dollar car. But I love the sellers optimism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39BuickEight Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Classic case of someone not understanding rare and desirable are 2 different things. I have no doubt it's rare. Desirable? That is the kicker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Dobbin Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Come on guys, haven't you ever met somebody like that before? Remember all the folks at car shows that tell you about the gem they have at home. Now you've seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Is that dent in the right front corner original from 1987 too?. Besides being clueless about the value of the car he knows nothing about how to sell it with no pics of the interior, engine, trunk, etc. Is there a demolition derby coming up in Birmingham this summer? If so I say enter it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Remember all the cars left to rot outside over the last 50 years because the owner thought it was worth tons of cash??? I remember a 34 Ford Cabriolet that whenever someone came close to the asking price it changed by another $1000 to a point where you could have had a brand new Cadillac for less money. This is one for the next generation to have the same experience with. And Jack, you should be more careful, saying you think it's a $500 car might lead to a line at your door trying to sell you similar "Classics". Thanks for the morning chuckle!

knobless Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Remind me of a 34 ply coupe a guy was selling in Wa State, wanted 8000 there was nothing left of it , it had rotted into the ground 1/2 way up the doors, oh ya and stated Barn kept,,,,To many watching auctions, they don't get you have to spend another 30,000 to get it to that point!!!

In this case, it is probably lack of knowledge. Sometimes, high asking prices are due to greed, but I use the term "optimism" in order to be nice!

oily rag Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 The new price was $10,598 so this car has not lost much in value in his eyes. A 10% servile rate he may be right on maybe 100 left - - - but I would think that the 99 people interested in owning one of these already have one.

jeff_a Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Good things: A prop company could use it in films/tv. Pimp My Ride, maybe. A dealership test car: if a car salesman applicant could sell this for 4 figures, he's hired. Worth it if there are ten Krugerrands in the ashtray or Gwenneth Paltrow's in the back seat and needs an escort to the Academy Awards. On the negative, Seventies or Eighties American cars(#&3+ !!!jdbfsdhfvgdlkjf?...choose another decade) too old to drive too new to collect on craigslist, out of a shipping container owner wants engine and interior condition to be a surprise body doesn't look too good, either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly believe he knows full well what he is doing and just trying to catch one of the Barnum fish on the fly....or he lost a bet and is made to post it out of humiliation ?
