There's a dealer near me who has a 2016 GT4 for sale for around $94K. So your car is priced right. The challenge is to find a buyer. The dealer has had the GT4 for four months, and when I initially inquired about the price, I was told that it was firm. Last week I had my car serviced and one of the salesman saw me checking out the GT4. I told him that I though his price was a little seep. This time he asked me to make an offer.

One final bump.

here's deal: I'm doing a drive in 2 weeks with a bunch of folks. The car will head to SoCal. If it ends up here, I'm keeping it.

Thanks

Asking price means almost nothing to me. And the "firm price" line is almost never true. They just refuse (and rightly so) to bid against themselves by saying the'll take less than asking before you even make an offer. Cash is king.

I'm trying to sell my kid's 2000 Tacoma right now. The first question most of these tire kickers ask is "what is the least you'll take" to which I always respond "I don't know. What's the most you'll pay?" The process sucks.

I don't mind it, often like it. Markets (voluntary exchanges) are fascinating and beautiful when ego is left out of the picture. I don't mind neither receiving nor making "low ball" offers -- they are free options (zero downside, non-zero upside) and as such mutually beneficial. The emphasis is on offer -- as in zero obligation to accept it.

I also think it's priced right but it's just hard to find a buyer as a non-dealer at these price points without making a lot of effort to advertise the car it seems. At least, that's been my experience.

GLWS op!

or as you said just keep it

I was just about to respond to your statement about $80K by saying I hope you are wrong, but your edit was quicker than I was. I hope you are wrong!

I hate to say it, but I think the market for low mile Spyders right now is about $15k under sticker.

That sounds about right to me. PTS, buckets, mileage and condition being the most influential variables.

Most people who buy expensive cars, typically have a trade-in which a dealer can accommodate. So the small market for sports cars is made even smaller when you consider those who are willing to sell their cars privately before making a purchase.
