I used to own a little car lot and went to the auction 3-4 times a week. They will get KILLED if they take it to the auction! There is to much unknown about the car with a motor swap. Most dealers are cool with appearance mod's and light stuff like exhaust and intake but crazy mod's rarely even bring the normal price unless it is by a big name magazine tuner or owned by Shaq or something. Good luck! Hopefully there not absorbing the money on your car into the new one your buying but I know you've had quite a few cars over the last couple years and are aware of there games they play.

 

Thanks for the info

 

1) price of new car negotiated to bottom line (My neighbor wants to buy my old car and he already gave me a deposit).
2) real price of trade in. (now that I know the price of my new car, how much would you give me for my old car?)
3) financing (if being financed).

I've never purchased a car from a dealer, there are so many stories where the dealers try to mix it all together and just come up with a monthly price. A guy I used to work with was buying a new Pontiac (a long time ago) and they had a $500 rebate going on, so the dealer wrote it all up and wanted them to sign quick. They sat down and went through all the paperwork, the dealer added the $500 rebate to the total all right, but not as a reduction in price, but as a $500 uplift in price.

 

 

Well the guy I'm working happens to be a fraternity brother of mine - I've got no worries he'll treat me right. My concern is the SM/GM might not want to sign off on it.

In that case one of you guys is going to be coming down here to get this car

We shall see!

 

Hey man, hit me up if nothing happens with this. Hit me up soon.

 

Did the deal go through? Just curious, semi interested in the car.

 

Got your response. Give me a call when you get a chance.

 

To everyone else - the dealership thing fell through, but I picked up a daily driver so I'm in no big rush to sell.

 

If you still have it at the end of the month I might be interested....

 

Will do. I've got another handful of people w/ "funds ready"....we'll see.

 

Trade for 03 cobra? https://ls1tech.com/forums/southern-...olid-swap.html

 

Sale Pending verification of funds, at which point I'll be installing new tires, giving it a good once over with the clay bar, PC and Zaino then warmly storing it until its new owner is ready take delivery.

Thanks to everyone who was interested!
