: Inspecting a cheap car?
Elcoman Oct 22nd, 09, 10:14 PM I am selling a cheap junk car w/ lots of miles, but it is cheap, below blue book even.
Are dents really a huge turn off?:confused:
Some guy wasted my time and his time to just look at a cheap car, and then he was picky about it?! The car does not knock, or smoke.
Just ranting. :D
I am not selling it to any Chevelles.com members.:noway: I still have to talk to you after I sell it.:D

Chris R Oct 22nd, 09, 10:52 PM When you list it. Sometimes, people just need to be made clear that your selling a cheap car and they need it spelled out for them. Otherwise they just dont get it. Things like, this car is cheap for a reason, this car is cheap because it has such and such miles and...list work needed. It baffles me sometimes how certain buyers are expecting a lot when they buy a cheap car.
Elcoman Oct 22nd, 09, 11:15 PM You might be right Chris. I am going to rewrite my ad.
I might just send this car to the junkyard, it is not worth the hassle.:D
I wanted to race it at the local circle track, but they did away w/ the import class.:(
I posted pics on my ad, it clearly shows the front end, it is black primer(hood and fenders).

69malibu3speed Oct 22nd, 09, 11:34 PM I just sold my 86 Madza B2000 pickup I bought new. It had 191,000 miles on it. Saw the guy who bought it 3 weeks later and he said, "I'm ready to get rid of it, not enough power". I said "really, it had 80hp when it was new".
Reminded me of the guy who bought a MINI Cooper and wanted to sell it.....his reason was it was too small. I wonder if he even noticed that it was called a "MINI" Cooper?

Brian_d Oct 23rd, 09, 12:28 AM I know exactly what you are talking about. I tried selling a Hundai excel several years ago. The car ran fine, had a straight body but the paint was faded. Guy comes out, drives it & decides it is "a bit much" for his niece. Left me wondering - what did he expect for a car listed at $500?!? We wound up donating it to charity & got the tax write-off...

Hey Brian, how is that trans?
I guess I am lucky, he didnt waste my gas driving it.:D
Brian_d Oct 23rd, 09, 1:16 AM Still sitting in the corner of the garage... debating weather or not to rebuild it or just throw a shift kit at it & go. I've found alot of good lock-up convertor instructions (here); could not find any markings on the convertor to I.D. stall speed - do you remember what it stalled at? Also need to get the TV kit from Bowtie Overdrives & need a driveshaft. PM me if you haven't sold/wanna sell yours. How's that killer RAT?
Elcoman Oct 23rd, 09, 1:51 AM It shifted just fine in my elco, the stall I would say is stock.
The shifts were not hard, it had that "stock" feeling when it shifted.
I still have the driveshaft. If I stop being lazy, I got another ds, that I think will fit if I use the yoke from the one I have.
If don't need the old one, your welcome to it. I need to stop procrastinating.:yes::D
JWagner Oct 23rd, 09, 10:39 AM Very often, selling a used car can be a real pain. I once had a '65 chevy van for sale for a few hundred dollars. Some jerk came over to look at it and presented me with a long speech on all the defects.While he was doing that, another guy came by , looked over the van and said "sold!". It was great to see the look on the first guy's face.
forcd ind Oct 23rd, 09, 2:39 PM the worst thing about selling a cheap car, you get cheap car people coming to look at it
