did i sell it for the right price?

im asking here because i want everyone who owns a rx7 to give an opinion.

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=704518

the car looks almost the same as the picture but has a matching turbo hood. do you guys think i should have made the price higher? im getting a decent amount of demand with 3500 and was wondering if i set the price too low. i have about 5 interested callers and 3 comming to check it out tonight.... MAN I RELLY DONT WAN TTO SELL HER... ESPECIALLY IF SHE IS WORTH MORE.

thanks

hers what the link says.

info and specs

car is a black on black 1990 gxl with 83000 original miles, all stock (except trubo hood original black also), and unmolested. drives perfect except for noisy pilot bearing (i have everything to fix it).

exterior is about 7/10 some dents and chips (original black paint) never been in an accident CLEAR TITLE!

interior is about 9/10 because the a pillars cracked.

extra parts not installed

brand new kyb agx strut/shocks

everything for a tranny fix including extra stock flywheel pressure plate clutch, new pilot bearing T/O bearing tranny seal, all gasket and bushings for shifter, new master and slave cylinder and line, and i think some redline fuild somewhere not sure. never had the time to drop the tranny but never really had to becuase the noise didnt bother me.

extra set of new tires for the vert bbs wheels that are comming with the car

lots of good spare engine parts like tps alt pumps ect.

stock steel black and white hood if you want them.

lots of other parts in the garage i dont remember but you can have if you buy the car at asking price.

$3500 is starting price with the extra parts but i am willing to negotiate and i am a very reasonable guy. plus i know i will get lowballed.

reason for selling. if i could i wouldnt and i know i will regret it later but i cannot have two 2 seater maintained right now. i have to save up for more important things right now like a house and finishing school.
daym it might gone by tonight.... im going crazy, i know this is true love!!!

pull the EGI fuse. If you change your mid say you're sorry and you don't know why it won't turn on. If he knows how to turn it on then it's in the right hands.

But all those extra parts? I wouldn't take less that $3500, and you could get $4 grand easy. ONLY 83K original miles!

i don't know if i would have offered to include all those parts from the beginning, but you gotta remember that this is an n/a and the most extra you'd get out if it is a couple hundred dollars. $4k at most... if you think about it, that's nothing.

you're a bad salesman.

rule#1
GIVE YOURSELF BARGAINING ROOM.

You want 3.5K? ask for 4K.

Rule #2
never show you're desperate to sell.

rule#3
when you have multiple buyers: make sure you do not sell to the first guy with MONEY. If they want it then they need to offer more than the other guy.

Rule #4

ASK BEFORE YOU POST THE FOR SALE AD so you don't look like a douche seller that makes ppl drive out and then say no when they get there.

If someone offered me $4100 for my car right now, I would take it without thinking twice. And mine is a TII.

Well.


My car still has some minor running issues, paint look like ****, and it has it's fair share of dings. Not quite a $7K car.

thats true, but no one ever came to look at it, only schedule a meeting. plus i never raised the price it was the consumers who did, and i am not stupid to turn down money. if they really want it theres and *** for every seat.

Now that's a smart move my friend. Its just an automatic call to up the price when you have multiple buyers.

When I was selling my N/A for 3,000,I was getting Offers of 1500 all day long.The problem was the People that were Offering that,wouldn't Get of their *** long enough to come down and LOOK AT THE CAR!..I got one guy to come down to see it,after I told him that If he does,he won't be disappointed..I had over 4,200 in it...I sold it for 2100 out of desperation.I was told I had to move from where I was living and the car had to go,due to no room at the new place.Otherwise the car would still be here..it was a Friggin Good car!..I miss it!

if you told me a price and changed it I would say **** you and walk away. it takes a sorry person to do that. Your word should be just that 100% set in stone.

lol, "obo" doesnt necessarily mean the best price lower than my asking price. now if they came to check out the car and then i changed the price on them, that would be wrong.
