why does everyone think there car is worth double the actual value and then when you offer them a reasonable amount then get offended?

heres some examples
1998 Trans Am WS6 6 SPD

i drove this car, the entire suspension is shot, the rear end is toast, the seats are torn, the trans is bad, and it has 182k miles on it, its probally worth about 3500-4000 fixed up its not worth more then 6500 bucks

1998 trans Am black

i judt dont know where this guy came up with 12 grand for a 15 year old car with over 100k miles on it, you can get newer fbodies with 70k on them for under 10 grand nowadays
 


The black TA I understand is way high. The WS6 isn't awful...does have a lot of miles though. Local guy has an 02 with 40k asking $17.5. I sold my 02 anniversary edition in 08 for $26.5, but it only had 4600 miles. $5700 isn't too bad, but the description sounds kinda sketchy!!
 
It's because most people go off of what they FEEL their car is worth as opposed to actual hard data and statistics. Many of them also feel they should be reimbursed/are owed for maintenance and modifications. They don't want to take a loss on these things, so they figure it into the price of the car not understanding no one is going to pay for the previous owners repairs. People don't seem to understand that cars are not an investment. They are just money pits. Repairs and maintenance are things you HAVE to do just to be able to ask for "good condition" prices. They're not things you can add on TOP of the "good condition" book value.
 


Exactly and those people wonder why there cars don't sell, that's a ridiculous price for something with a 3100 in it lol and no 5700 is to much the car was also in a front end collision it's basically a roller
 


there is a sucker out there for every one of those overpriced vehicles. dont know whats wrong with those people though:th_scratchhead:
 
The first one says in the ad he bought it as a project car, but is now hit with a lawsuit and has to sell it. If I had to guess, he's trying to sell it without taking a loss on it because maybe he knows he paid too much for it to begin with.
 
if youre not the one selling the car you cant argue with what price they put up. its their choice on what they want in return for it, not yours.

too expensive? find another one. there's always another one.
 


Guys you no need grammer all the time, it makes no cents.


As for car prices, it's a two way street. Yeah I've seen cars legitimately overpriced, but there are a lot of people that either need to get a better job or learn the value of things they're looking to buy.
