how retarded do you have to be to ask 14k for a v6. even a 97 v8 isnt worth a damn thing.

Sure it is. Last I checked, a tenth of a mile is part of a mile. Not saying he should have included it, if anything he should have rounded up to the next mile.

Heres what i asked him:

So the car has 614,000 miles? or 61,000?
Also you might wanna lower your price to about $3500

His response:
sorry. mileage is 61474
Are you serious? Sell my camaro...a model they don't make anymore that is paid for in full for a measly 3,500 bucks? I'm laughing right now.

its worth more then 3500 IMO. true its a v6, but it seems hella clean and its a vert. I personally hate verts. But I know some people are willing to pay for them.

Yea, i know its worth more than $3,500, it was more to make fun of the ridiculousness of the $14k he wanted. i messaged him back an told him $6500 would be a good price.

Yeah, I messaged her, too. She told me the same thing - the car isn't made anymore, she paid $30K for it, blah blah. She also said she can't take less than $12K for it either.
