That’s an interesting attitude. I applaud your altruism but I’m sorry to say I won’t be hiring you as my financial advisor. But it shows that we really live in the land of opportunity when someone that free with money can still afford to own a Porsche. God bless America!

If you’re into giving away your cash to improve someone else’s car, I have a service coming up. I’ll be happy to send you the invoice.

 

But then you'd have to sell it to him - see the difference? On one hand the buyer is essentially paying the seller to have this work done because the buyer is going to be the owner of the car. In your scenario, he's just giving you money.

 

are you sure you don't have the updated IMS? the switch was done midyear if I'm not mistaken.

 

Why would it get messy? Just don't sell it to family or friends. It's sold as is, where is. once you've signed the bill of sale and title over, it's no longer your responsibility unless you want to be kind hearted. No point in giving a buyer more reason to low ball you. There's no problem now, and it's not your responsibility to make sure a buyer does research.

 

No, he says it’s ok to pay for service then not recoup the cost of that service at the sale. If he pays $500 to have a service done, then gets only $400 more for the car, then he’s reduced his net by $100. No matter what he pays for the service, if the sales price doesn’t increase by at least that much, then it’s a net loss for the seller. Zero benefit to the seller and a $100 negative return on his money, $100 free money for the buyer.

That at doesn’t even count the time and effort he spent having the work done.

If if I sell my 997 for a million Dollars, that’s sounds great until I mention that I put $1.1 million in gold in the frunk. Then it turns out I’ve made a terrible business decision.

It is almost literally pissing money away.
