Talking I got an offer last night!!!

Last night at work a co-worker seen my car and said he liked it and and wanted to take a look at it. So on our lunch break we went out and he looked it over. Than asked what i would take for it. I replied $12,500 then he replied " if it was an A4 i would give you that but since its a standard i'll give you $11,000" I laughingly declined and said $12,500 firm and we walked back inside.

You laughed and declined at 11k? Did you not really want to sell it? That looks like a pretty dang good offer for a 99.

My car Is easily worth 12,500 if not more. My car is probably cleaner than most 02's. Also i dont really wanna sell it but anything can be bought for the right price.

How have you put $10,600 into it? Did you pay $7500 for it and sink $3100 in mods or something? After looking over your sig, I just don't see where all that money went... Or have you blown your engine before and swapped another LS1 in?

Unless your hiding stuff . (Which seems to be common on this site ) But what you're showing in your sig couldn't have cost anymore than $3500 IMO.

By no means am I bashing you, I'm just confused as hell... Either way though, you sir have a damn nice NBM SS. How many miles on her?

Ha, wanna hear something funny? I was walking around at my university campus the other day (without my car), and I came across a parked SS. I was kinda checking it out and didn't notice the owner was sitting in a parked tuck with his friend right beside it. So he notices me checking out the car and asks me if I want to buy it. I play along and ask the guy what he wants for it. "not much actually," he responds. "What's 'not much'?" I asked him. He said roughly $17500. Now this is a 98 car with something like 80k miles (I forget exactly), and nothing to spectacular done to it. Apparently it's got a "new" motor, whatever that means exactly.

My point? I live in Canada. It's funny what the difference in value is here (keep in mind that our dollar is at par right now).

Doesn't matter if this friend of his offered him $10,000,000 cash. If he doesn't want to sell the car then it's priceless...

Guy, you have $10,600 into it, and you are unhappy with a $400 profit?

This is a CAR. They lose value everytime you drive it or flip the page on the calender.

The goal should be to minimize the LOSS. If you make anything, take it.
