Is that never winter driven or garage stored, or never winter driven but garage stored instead?

I'd say for a GSL-SE, if there is truly no rust...

$3-5K (or above) or at least, that's what the owner hopes to get out of it. Of course, some of the cheaper folks here are going to say that's an $1800 car... Personally, I think they're wrong

The low miles add to what the owner wants and cars like that have gone for over $7K (again, USD) on ebay.

 

The car was garaged stored and not driven during the winters. This past summer here in Canada it was kept outside, prior to that I do not know. It originally came from the Denver area where it was assumed it was garage stored as it was owned by a collector of exotics.

I guess after 17yrs he realized that this would never be a collector.

And YES there truly is no rust.

 

And now in a massive conflict of interest, we have the seller with over 500 posts on this forum in this thread showing off the car

i told him where I posted the pictures I was wondering about the new ip hitting my site...LOL

 

Well, they're beautiful pics, and it's definitely a beautiful car that has been well taken care of and well-loved.

I'd say my $5-7K range USD is spot on.

 

So in Canadian dollars, that's between

6853.50 - 9594.90

with 6K USD being 8224.20

*exchange rates current as of 10:32AM Eastern Time.

 

I wouldn't pay more than $6000 CAN for ANY GSL-SE, unless is was fresh off the showroom floor.

 

Fresh off the showroom floor, they went for $18K...

 

IMO, I would value the car about 3k-4k. I would never pay more than 4k or so for a 1dt gen unless it had some serious engine stuff done like a monster turbo engine or something. Your car looks really nice but i think realistically to make it actually sell you would have to ask about 3500 or so. I mean you can sell stuff for really expensive but it just takes for ever.

Guys - sorry for the double thread on the same car - I didn't know this potential buyer would be using the forum for feedback. As an update, he is no longer interested due to my asking price and I'm not movin -
Evolv was gracious enough to allow me the use of his website for viewing (Thanks K).
Anyway, chances are I won't get what I'm asking (at least not this time of the year - maybe never) - problem is, once Spring hits again, I won't want to sell anyway.
BTW, interesting feedback on the price

 

Refer to my original post.

Most FB owners are cheapskates

(I'm not exempt from that - I like my bargains too - I just have a realism streak in me)

 

Good 1st gens are a bit rarer, up here in the Great White North.
Especially out west.

But for that car, I personally wouldn't pay more than $5000, asuming it's as mint as you say, and that's pushing it...

 

Does Manntis have another -SE yet? I remember after his got totaled he was looking for one.
