Pass it on to me for a $3k referral fee. I should probably delete this thread but we will give it a little time in case you are even remotely serious and not trolling

This thread should read:

LOOK WHAT I DID!

I just got a killer deal on an FD for $4k with 23k original miles and a fresh rebuild.

The fact that you instead decided to post up asking for advice makes me wonder which mental facility you escaped from last night...

I'm being sarcastic on the title. But yes I'm buying it for sure. At the same time it shows how worthless these cars are becoming..
They are only worth to those that are willing to pay top dollar. That personal is shrinking by the day..
Take care

If I decided to sell my friend my Aston Martin DB9 for $10k you think that means it shows the car is worthless? What a car is worth in the open market and what a friend of yours wants to sell it to you for because he doesn't care about it and just wants it gone have nothing to do with each other. Every single car in existence is only worth what people are willing to pay for it. There's a whole lot of people willing to pay a heck of a lot more than $4k for your friends car.

if it is like you say then buy it and sell it for at least 10k. you will have more than enough people wanting to buy it. so if you dont like the car you get at least a 6k profit. you will be happy and who get the car will be happier than you because he/she will have a FD XD

Wow way to take advatage of a "friend". If he was your real friend why would give him 4k for a supposedly nice FD. Wouldn't you want to help him get a fair deal? I can understand a friend price but 4k seems pretty generous but in the end who cares enjoy the car if it real if not enjoy this thread.

Free market. If he wants to sell it for that, let him.
