yeah, I RAISED the price on my stupid Neon for sale because everyone want's to pay less than asking price for the same damn reason....
but ironicly I had no problem selling my 'x''s former 95 993 for listed price of $39k at the time within 2 hours of listing it!!!!
BUT back when I had my 993 FS with a ton of goodies, I only got lowballed so I parted out back closer to stock and got good money for the mods and still have my car!
heck, even with my former SRT4, I was going for $16k with all the track mods and got lowballed $13k and less even!... then I parted back to stock, sold the mods USED for a total well over $3k and still got $13k for the car in stock form.. go figure!

Nothing major. I wanted to buy an unmolested car and keep it that way. I think I've listed the mods in the classified add, but I'll list them here as well.
Non-stock mods: RSR mufflers, stainless oval tips, clear front turn signals, front protection bar, short shifter, front strut brace, uprgaded audio.
I have the original amber lenses, and the parts from the original shifter if anyone really wanted to turn it back into a nearly original car. I don't have the old tips, nor the original stereo though.

Hey Will! I just drove the car last night. It is such a great car. She still runs, looks and drives as well as the first time I drove her in Michigan 5 years ago. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I'm already having seller's remorse even before I've sold her.

Folks crack me up sometimes. I listed our old lexus suv 2K below the least expensive one for the model on autotrader and it had like 20K lower miles. Price was listed as FIRM and we still got jokers making 'offers'. Anyway, within 2 days someone who knew it was a steal came along and the others lost out. GL with the sale, sweet looking car.

Well, due to limited garage space, I'm consolidating my Sunday drivers from 2 to 1. Selling my Porsche and my Alfa to buy a car that will fulfill my needs and desires that those 2 cars provide me. Those needs/desires are performance, handling, timeless styling, and an open top, and more safety features than the lap belts in my Alfa.
