8 grand?

With 210k+ miles? A shitty body kit, nasty rims, and dents and crap all over?

And the freaking salvage title!

What are people thinking?

Kenso · 03-13-06, 09:48 PM

Salvage title too, even better.

mondonalds · 03-13-06, 09:52 PM

Those are some nasty rims and an ugly body kit. I should sell mine if this is the going rate.

Stu · 03-13-06, 11:50 PM

I wouldn't trade cars with him if he paid me $5000 along with his car .... and my car is stock ! Nice way to mess up a car !

Mikey851 · 03-13-06, 11:53 PM

I don't know what's wrong with people man, it seems that people lately don't even follow the Blue Book and that's the first place I look. Like today, I was looking at some used 300zx twin turbos and the Blue Book said that in good condition with 150,000 miles that it should go for ~$5-6k yet they were asking closer to 8-10k. Now I know a good twin turbo 300zx is sort of rare, but can you tell me how a car with a few dents, fading paint, and 150,000 miles (not to mention it's MSRP back in it's day was cheaper than a Legend LS Coupe) can sell for that much?

4cruizn · 03-14-06, 12:13 AM

Wow. That price is indeed outrageous. I was following an auction last week on that 6-speed swapped green coupe as well, and it got overpriced too IMO. I guess it's worth what anyone will pay...

Blue book just makes me cry.

Trade in on my coupe is around $4500. I'll keep it thanks.

Stu · 03-14-06, 12:31 AM

blue book values are not aproximations of market value.
A car that has been well taken care of by a knowlegeable enthusiast will sell for way higher than Blue Book value ... but only to another enthusiast.

ZedStyle · 03-14-06, 12:47 AM

blue book is not that accurate anyways, nada and even edmunds are usually more accurate... or at least an average of the three. they vary widely, often by a thousand dollars on the same car, but i think overall kbb is the least highly regarded

Ken · 03-14-06, 03:02 AM

ugh, that think makes me sick, except for some of the interior

OhGeez · 03-14-06, 09:07 AM

That's pathetic but it's on ebay so some sucker will end up buying it.

QBoroLegend · 03-14-06, 10:50 AM

Garbage

MLC · 03-14-06, 10:57 AM

the paint on the trunk

Herb · 03-14-06, 12:47 PM

On the second thought, I think its all shill bidding. Alot of that on eBay Motors because there is no final value percentage fee. If you look, all the bidders are 0 feedback, and one has outbid himself three times.

Mikey851 · 03-15-06, 03:27 AM

I understand that the KBB isn't very reliable. But, if it lists a car at 200k miles and in Excellent condtion to be worth $5-6k, then unless like Stu said it's from one enthusiast to another, that car should not be marked up by 100%.

SaGe69 · 03-15-06, 08:03 AM

Yeh, that body kit is gross

I never did like that Cyber kit... Now I know why....
