I thought your original plan was to sell it to your friend that previously owned it...?

I have a sure fire, oink oink, hachue, pig flu, excuse me. got any donuts oh yeah as i was saying oink oink, my plan is to always buy high and sell low. Oink Oink. That way I always am consistent.

what you smokin?

Well, around here when we have on the lot, they run from $1500 TO $3000.  So I wouldnt expect any more than that.   The v-6 kills the value.

[y88rick]

thats my whole dilema is i have 2300 into the stupid thing as of right now. i'd like to make something for all the work however locally with all these broke people around here the best offer i have had is 1800

[BigJer]

I checked cars.com,autotrader and automart and the only ones I find are low mileage V-8s, selling btwn 4400-20,000. Sorry, not much help.

I doff my hat to you sir...................

Start the bid off low. Get people intrested in the car. The adrenaline flowing and may get higher in the end. I would list all the positives that screan "Hey, this car is worth it." and just be honest. Set a reserve price so if you don't get what you want you can still keep it.

I'm afraid Kevin bought his 307 powered Supreme for $700 needing no work to drive. BUT, I've seen not so nice ones go for a couple grand around here too. Now you also have to remember that older cars like that are hard to find in decent shape around here too. So the prices are very much dependent on what the car is worth to the buyer. And I think you're going to find that the case on eBay. Add to that the fact that most of them are going to have to factor in transport costs and adversely you're going to have to factor in listing fees and possible deadbeat buyers I think maybe eBay may not be your best bet.

If you do try it I'd do what humanmachine suggested and start with a low bid with a reserve that will at the very least cover all your costs (don't reveal it)_but don't use a BIN as that can scare away potential buyers.

true as this one was just painted and all kinds of stuff my pics suck as it is a very straight solid car and now looks it again. just wish my buddy had the money and as much as i'd like too, im not going to sit on it and wait for him to get it back.

[y88rick]

well guys i decided to give ebay a whirl so i put it on there last night. there was one one there that had off color trunk lid and front clip and missing the driveshaft. sold for 2300 well mine for starters looks better and can be driven so there's two up on the guy

[kjkjkcjkcj]

sounds like your smartest bet. did you put a reserve on it?
