Post Am I being stupid???

I am selling my 1987 951, Black/black, bone stock except for the 17" 993 cups, 62k real miles. Pretty darn nice car. Nose cap has been painted, as has the right rear quarter. Don't really know why the quarter was done, but the front has no evidence if damage so I'm thinking stone chips. Bad thing is, the prior owner (60 yrs old, bought the car with 30k in 1991) didn't keep his maintenance records. He said it never occurred to him to keep them, he didn't think he'd ever sell the car. Anyway, I have been asking $11,900 and a local dealer just offered me $10,000. Do you think I should cut the car loose for that? Can I get more out of it? I'm only selling because I have it, a 1989 C4 and a 325i convertible and I really don't need them all! What are these cars bringing in the real world? I gave $12,000 for this not long ago and thought I was stealing it. I think a big part of my problem is I know this dealer is going to mark it $14,900 or something and some chump (like me) will probably buy it! An advise would be appreciated!

I think its a fair amt the dealer is offering you. If you arent too sure about it, post it on ebay with the reserve the dealer is offering you. That way, you'll at least "break even"

I agree, the dealer is in business to make money. I'm surprised he offered you that much! Your car must be in nice shape. If you're not pressed to sell the car right away, holding out could be worth $1-2k extra in your pocket...
