I need Opinions ASAP about Price

OK, I have found and original 71 grabber... here is the stats

The bad
crappy repaint
minor pit rust on surface

passenger floor is rotted, cowl is problem, leaves and a fist full of rust
was found when I removed the kick panel, reached up and found plenty
of rust. rest of the floor pan looks ok. This means major work to repair the cowl area

front and rear window leaks some, owner says he had the seals replaced 6 years ago.

headliner seam is ripped over the front seats
dash has minor surface rust
door panels need redone
radio and plate are missing...but i think he said he had them

The Good
One owner
302 A/C
seems to be all original
buckets
Floor shifter, seen better days
has perfect grabber hood
seats look great
Has the sport lamps with switch on dash

NAME YOUR PRICE
well I couldnt get him to price it so I took cash with me today to
see If i could get him to sale.

I started out with 3K then 4K then he said I'll take 6K for it since
you want it and want to fix it and keep it.
I said that was a little more than I planed for since it had to have some major rust repair done asked if he would take 4500 he said that to him 6K was what he figures would be the least he would take.

Ok now for the hard part, Is it worth 6K.
Fire away

are you kidding?.... its always hard to judge without seeing the car, but from your descripition theres no way in Hell I'd give that much money for what sounds like a car needing a lot of work. sounds like a $1500. car to me. but, its your money

 

Walk away ... and don't look back ..

 

I wouldn't give $600.....much less $6K

 

ill give ya 150 for the hood

 

or better yet, RUN away. Sounds like he'll never come close to what the going rate is.

It will also rot to the ground over the years because of his delusion of what the car is worth (enter quote here: "A car is worth ONLY as much as someone is willing to pay for it - NOTHING more.")

 

I was only trying to be polite so as to not make anyone feel bad....... but I agree.

 

$6K as in $6000, no way!! It sounds like a parts car, or a full resto.

 

I agree on the price being too high, my last offer was for 4500, and that made my "OH SH*& what did I just do" alarm go off. if he would have taken 3k for the car I would have gladly gave it to him. But he has my #
he can call me. he is 76 and on O2...he might kick the bucket next week or 10 years, then the family will sell it. hope that keep my number...by then it will be worth 1,000.

dont get blinded by desire and pay too much for a sub-standard car. they are out there, dont buy the 1st one( or two) that come along just because its convieniant.
