not all lots buy cars for considerably less. at premier they only pay about $500 to 1000 less than the asking price. sometimes cars are sold there less than they pay. look at that tsi for instance. troy paid 2800 for it at an auction, put a tranny in it, and was asking 3500 so he could get all his money back out of it. troy ended up selling it for 2800

Hey, did you even think about what you just said? So your telling us that a business LOOSES money on a transaction; right. How would they stay in business?

Ok Sure :rolleyes:

Lock time Jim?

[Jim]

I won't lock it for now... in case somebody wants to buy his car.

Is it in the paper yet?

Harwood, normally I stay out of stuff like this, but I REALLY think you need to reconsider your price.

[Cupid]

Didn't you say the dealer could sell it for 7500?? Why not sell it to them then?

[SmitEvo]

Your a fucking Retard!!!! I work for many car lots and and i have talked to them about what they pay and what they sell for and they usually make about 1000.00 on each car if they cant make money on the car they will bring it to tristate and wholesale it and get the money they paid for it 8 times out of 10

I know for a fact that ALLCity Auto has made 5,000 on a 1993 tsi about 4 years ago.. my point is that they can find them cheap enough and sell them for book value and still make a killing... Most car lots wouldnt be in business if they only made 500 on each car.. Mitch what do you think??

Nail on the freaking head.

[Cupid]

I'm not sure who you were callin a retard, me or harwood but I only said that shit up there cuz he said he could sell it for 6 easily and Premier would sell it for 7500. I've been saying 6000 was too high the whole time. That was all sarcastic cuz i know he couldnt get 6 for it and even a dealer wouldnt go 7500.

[harwood39]

its not in the paper yet because they changed their stupid acceptance time. i submitted it today and they said it cant go in sundays because the acceptance time for sundays is now friday at 3pm.

[harwood39]

Oh ya, and im not expecting someone thats really big into cars like you or me, im expecting some kid to buy it that just sees whats done to it and knows the potential.

[Cupid]

Cool but I dunno if your gonna find someone that watches the fast and furious and decides to buy a civic and has 6000 bucks layin around...but i hope you sell it cuz a 240sx would be the shit

[24valvenotak]

Maybe we are all underestimating him..maybe he is saying 6 so people will try and negotiate their way down to 4 and think they are getting a deal....but i have been wrong before : )

this is exactly what i am doing. and yes a 240 would be the shit, but the guy sold the one i was looking at so i am looking at a 1986 RX7 with only 10,000 miles on it.

[amicheze]

is that the one with all the extra parts?

[harwood39]

um i dont think so, this one is in the cities.

[Bryce]

10,000....

....Rollback??

[Guest]

I'd be wondering that if I saw a car from pre-1998ish w/ only 10k miles on it. Look for the obvious signs...worn brake pedal, worn seats, etc.... to see if it appears to have been a roll-back

[PSiedTSi]

that motor is prolly underused lol

[harwood39]

its in perfect shape, no scratches in paint, no wear and tear on the interior, no sign of it being a roll back. I was shocked when i saw the ad. I had someone that i know in the cities look at it for me. and yes, its in the cities.
