i understand some regulations. sure the exception is sometimes the rule, and we understand !!!! ..... HOWEVER ...... > if we truly want to sell we would put a fair price [our choice ofcourse] and alteast try to sell or trade. if i want 3000.00 for my vehicle i may put 3500.00, knowing everyone wants a great deal, but for me to put 5000.00 > hope for a lucky me > looking for the unlucky buyer is clogging up the ad space... do we really believe that a 3000.00 vehicle will sell for 5000.00 in this economy????????? maybe years ago but now it dont happen. am i alone? DO WE ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT VEHICLES ARE WORTH? i know i do, i am not living in a fantancy world! i chuckle at some vehicle prices,[and some without prices if i happen to look] and wonder if they really think its that good and that rare? quad tripple copo drove by Elvis, passenger was MR. Reagan, and was only one with 10 speed road ranger overdrive truck transmission---- plus a corvette engine !!! LOL SORRY TO RAMBLE ON !!!!>>>>>........

do we really want to sell our vehicles? was looking again and was not surprised! we do realize some dealers have regulations and rules but do private individulas have same rules? i read ads for entertainment and knowledge -enjoyment, but getting harder to even open an ad with no price or a best... overpriced. i can almost bet its full of HOW GREAT IT IS !!! when i do open these types of ads, sometimes i wonder how they came up with the price and contents when same vehicle in comparison is far less? just wanted to get this to the top again. lets start this summer off right >>>>> sell\trade\swap\loan and enjoy the basic 'old days' of honest dealing and sharing our hot rodding-racing-building history. tell the stories, streatch the truth, lets share how close to death we was in that old heap of used parts. bring back the days of past when fair was fair, a hand shake was 'good enough'! > ? is that camaro, rat rod, ford or mopar worth something????? if so price the dam thing to sell and sell it if thats what you really want to do. if you are in too deep and have overspent display your vehicle at a car show brag in another RJ area and on another web site and actually enjoy your investment. if its actually :wink: 1 of 100000000 built why would you want to sell it anyway? i apolojize in advance for the rambling on>>>>> GOD BLESS THE USA AND OUR TROOPS THAT SUPPORT US!!!!!!

I don't think you are rambling... you have a point anyways. You post was funny too!! I like the ads where the seller is "testing the waters" by asking wayyyyyy to much money for a gutted, roller 70's Chevelle that is priced like a decent complete car. Test those waters all you want... the answer will be no interest, no phone calls (except to trade for an old jet-ski, 80's Kawasaki Vulcan, or for a 1978 YZ400 dirtbike or something)... only to "test" if they are willing to let a gutted roller car go for 12K???? hey- at least they put a price. The guys w/o price are not motivated.

thats old school and the correct way.[ PRICE TO SELL AND DEAL FROM THERE] what happened to those days? too much TV? i went to a storage unit auction the other day WELL... you can just imagine, i looked for the TV crews but all i seen was the clowns acting as if they were stars!!! it was actually comical and they were making a fool of themselves telling stories of the million dollar coin they found in the old pants pocket. same with cars now days . my vehicle is the only one with a 6 cylinder vin that was changed to a big block at the last minute on the assembly line. I cant doccument it now, the guy died. but his buddy told me the story was true and will write it down for you ! :wink: SHOW ME THE CAR FAX !!!! :lol:
