since its a used on the track,
you may not be getting top dollar as compared to one thats kept in a garage and driven on the weekends,
I also think you should post a link to the pictures or post the pictures ,
less people will want to try to search for something like pictures for your car.

Latest additions are Timing belt done two months ago (porkensioner installed) a set of low mile used koni (internally adjustable) with stock springs, delrin rack bushings and lizard short shift. SS RMB but stock muffler available along with homemade h-pipe for sound, again stock cat available. 74k miles, LSD, 5spd. I have a wide selection of wheels to choose from also, fenders are rolled (any cracked paint has been touched up)

Indrischrot (guards red) over linen (very clean) and well taken care of. Ac does not work but everything else does.
Well if you are not going to follow forum rules and include a price, then I'll say it's worth about $1500 and I'll send you a check

I bet you didn't know this: From the rules on posting guidlines

". . . . ads camouflaged as ”feelers” or “how much do you think my “xxx” is worth” will be deemed to be advertising."

C'mon, you know what you think it's worth. What will make you feel whole when it's on the trailer and going down your drive? Doesn't matter what I think.

Pick a number or they will lose this thread.

Hey come on back and read this, many answers to questions you may have never thought to ask

LINK to the page below
https://rennlist.com/forums/rennlist...ist-posts.html


Folks, as many of you have observed, posts on various forums have been the subject of considerable controversy and numerous complaints. In part this may be due to the fact that many of us don't know the rules. Few if any have looked at the already published guidelines and the Terms Of Service we all accepted when we registered.

Herein you will find a fairly concise summary of the "rules of the road". This Forum will be open for dialog for the moment at least, in the hope that communications between us will foster a better understanding and a stronger community.
------------------------------

Rennlist Posting Guidelines:

Content: All material posted or linked to, must be G rated. In other words, use only language and post material suitable for the home or office. Do not post foul language, racial epithets or sexually explicit content in any form. At no time will insults or attacks on an individual be tolerated. Racial slurs, epithets or denigrating references to race, color, creed or sexual preference will not be tolerated. This general content rule applies to posts, signatures, avatars and links within posts.

The exception to this rule is in the off-topic section (only available to paying members) whereby the content may be a PG-13 rating (some colorful language may be reasonably utilized), however such content may not be used in an insulting or attacking manner.

Special Rule About Using Rennlist for Buying or Selling Firearms: Advertising, buying or selling firearms on Rennlist is prohibited. It violates IB policy and in addition contraves contractual terms relating to their acquistion of certain other websites.

Advertising by Members: Paying Members (as opposed to “Users”) may advertise or link to an ad to buy or sell personal property. In the case of an item or items offered for sale, the price must be included in the post. Ads may appear in as many as three forums maximum, and repeated not more than twice per month.

Neither Members nor users may post ads promoting a business, theirs, or one owned/operated by others either in the body of a post or in the signature or avatar fields, nor may they post links or solicitations to visit competitive web sites. Note that posts by Members advertising items "for a friend" will be treated as posts by a User.

Advertising by Site Sponsors: In order to promote a commercial entity, you must have a contract with Internet Brands. Only site sponsors may promote their commerce on Rennlist. Site Sponsors will be held to posting according to rules established from time to time by Internet Brands covering the type, size and frequency of ads. In general a maximum of 4 threads per month may be posted. Note that responding to questions by members of a forum is not considered advertising. Threads offering multiple items may be edited to delete items no longer available. Adding items will be considered a new post and count against the 4 per month limit as will "bumping" a thread, i.e., adding a post to increase the visibility of a thread which has fallen off the screen due to inactivity.

Small Business Sponsors are limited to one (1) thread per month.

Unlike Member ads, site sponsors are not obliged to post prices in their ads although they are encouraged to do so.

Vendors are cautioned not to disparage other vendors, or the products/services they may offer.

Ads by Users: Users are not permitted to make “for sale” or “wanted to buy” posts nor link to ads hosted elsewhere. This is a privilege reserved for paying Members. Note that ads camouflaged as ”feelers” or “how much do you think my “xxx” is worth” will be deemed to be advertising. If a User would like to advertise personal property on Rennlist, please, consider becoming a member.

Promoting Non-Commercial Events: From time to time, posts promoting a not for profit event of interest to the Rennlist community will be permitted. Said posts should appear in a maximum of 6 forums and not repeated more than once a month. Posts of this nature will be closely scrutinized. Any attempt to disguise a commercial venture as a not for profit event will be dealt with promptly. When in doubt consult with a Rennlist Moderator to be pre-cleared.

Promoting a Vendor: Praise and a recommendation of a vendor by users is encouraged as a service to the community. On the other hand, excessive promotion of vendor(s), i.e., cheer leading, will be viewed as advertising. In the same vein, systematic and sustained vendor bashing, i.e., carrying out a vendetta against a particular vendor will result in sanctions.

Signatures and Avatars: Must be a reasonable size and contain only G rated material. Particular attention will be paid to suggestive photos. Moderators are empowered to edit or even delete material deemed objectionable.

Copyright Materials: You may not post any copyrighted material that you do not have rights to. Please link to external articles rather than post them in the forums. Posting or soliciting copyrighted material (Carfax reports for example) is prohibited.

Private Messages: Are just that, private. Posting a private message is strictly forbidden and will result in a ban of indeterminate duration.

Failure to Comply: With the rules may result in posts/threads being edited, or deleted as deemed necessary. Continued violations of the rules outlined above may result in certain restricted permissions, up to and including permanent banishment from Rennlist. The latest version of the Forum Software includes “infractions”. Individuals who disregard these guidelines will be issued an infraction. Infraction are like demerit points on your driving license. If you get too many you lose you license or, in the case of Rennlist, your ability to post.

Moderators: In the past forums were moderated by one or two people. As of now, Moderators are permitted to deal with any infractions they observe in any forum.

So as a paying member I can ask how much you think my cars are worth, but not as a user?

To me its worth 25k but what do you think?

Now can. Users tell me what its worth or no. I've never fully read the rules, but always knew ads need prices and members can only have ads.

Yes, I had it right and Steve had it wrong. He then took it out of context to tell me I can't ask. So I retracted. Now MrMerlin points out that I was correct.

I realize that its not new, but Steve was pushing me out, to me that's not very nice for a non-paying "user" to do. I support here, he doesn't. Even if he has been here longer and you may like him better.

It's probably worth more to you than what the market will bear

an 87 S4 with 74K somewhat modified running Wally World oil in my estimation is worth

$14K +/- $3K depending on condition and maintenance

now is the best time a year to sell at top dollar... lots of newbie enthusiasts tend to appear late spring and early summer.

Not pushing anyone anywhere, just quoting the person who founded the site; I do not see how you interpret Stan's inclusive quote from the original source which I took mine, to support you, the words are the same, but have it your way: to quote what you edited out, "lighten up" it's not that hard and I think you are disingenuous on two counts, not knowing the rules and not knowing what you think it is worth. The creds in your sig line would say otherwise. I have been here longer than you and for years I have been a paid member, no way for you to know, when or how long I was a paid member, you are really splitting hairs. Man up -- pick a number and negotiate down.

So, is it only Users that are not allowed to camouflage ads as 'feelers', or does this apply to Members as well? If it applies to Members then there has to be a price included.

I may be wrong (have been before, and will be again), but I didn't interpret Curt's original statement as an "OFFERING" for sale. I interpreted it as he was 'thinking' about selling it, and was asking for advice from the experts here at Rennlist.

Seemed like soliciting information, not soliciting offers. I'm sure if he makes a decision, he will post with a price and consider offers.

Just my thoughts on the thread, and haven't seen any negative posts from the moderators.

Gary
