i only gave 3500 for mine. and it was garage kept and in wonderful condition. zone has seen it. best of luck to ya. sorry to hear you get to get rid of her.
I hate it when people bash prices... unless you are interested, why do you feel the need to comment on what someone wants for their car? Is it too much to ask for you to leave For Sale threads alone if you aren't interested?
Best of luck on the sale to the OP.

man i wasnt trying to be mean either, just giving info on what i paid for mine which people can vouch is a beautiful car. just trying to help the guy out in pricing.
He didn't ask for opinions though. Yes, this is a public forum, but it is common decency to no bash someones For Sale thread. If he needs the money, and doesn't get any hits, then I am sure he will see he needs to lower his price. I am also sure he doesn't need your help on selling his car.
A car is only worth what it sells for... Your opinions aren't going to help his selling of the car.
It looks to me just sometimes help is not looked at in the right way. I just sold a 98 TA with 27k miles for $15K witch was 4k above book.. Something is worth what some one is willing to pay, no matter what some one other paid for theres.
Jeeze...well, according to a few of you...I guess I'm an idiot then.
I personally bought the car for $4700 in April 2009. So yea...I'm asking $5500 (expecting someone to chew me down) And believe it or not, I have gotten quite a few calls on it...and currently have 2 prospective buyers. I only posted it here to see if anyone was interested in it...I didn't need any opinions on price, thanks.
But since you gave your opinions, here is mine....no way is this a $2500 car.
I'm just trying to get what I paid for it. Maybe I paid too much for it originally...whatever.
And yea you can buy a newer model for $5k...but it wouldn't be a 3rd gen then would it?
hey. it is only to much if you believe it to be. mine started out at 4500 when i called. when we got there it needed a tranny mount and a couple a minor things and we got him down with cash in hand. i can tell you that i would in no way let it go for any less than you are. but bad times are just that. sorry to hear it man. i hope the best for ya. wish i had the dough i would buy it from ya .

Different car, Different buyer. Ya think?
Peace.
Not that this thread isnt way off topic but:
Here is my 500$ car
Here is my 800$ car
Now i am just starting ****....LOL.
If someone buys a camaro because they want a camaro and it is a third gen for 5000$ and it is just a RS, they are stupid, but if they just love third gens and pay that much , they just need to look harder.
LOL, like i said, i was starting ****, both cars would run but needed cosmetic work that was no big deal, the green one needed paint and bearings in the T5 and the black one needed GFX and a fender as well as a clutch disc.
well there is a little difference in the ones you bought from the one i have and the one he is selling. mine needed waxing andjust a few minor repairs. everything-i mean everything worked on it. the paint is still damn nice as well as interior and all. his that he needs to sell is in great shape as well. the ones you are posting need a lot of work. some of us look for different types of cars. you look for good deals with no need for it to be real nice. we look for cars that are in better shape. we could go on and on here over this. the dude has to sell his car. it is a nice car. and is worth the money. maybe a little less. but worth it. man zone give it a break.

Give it a break? I was done, just juggin. I even stated i was starting crap.
There are cars nicer than the on in this post all day for 3000$ or less on CL. Just sayin.
I already feel bad, i seem to be the main cause of this thread derailment. That isnt very like me. But i speak the truth and the truth hurts some feelings some times.
Hey, just think of all the free publicity her thread is getting. I'm all for hers selling higher than what we might expect, gives me hope of getting more than $100 out of my pile of crap.
[thread jack] Hey Zane, what are you up to today? Want to help pull a 305 today? [end thread jack]

I think it is about 3 inches max. I like it though, it is a SS hood, Ebay has them all day.

i bought mine with 96k for 2250, working ac good paint, only bad thing was the radio sucks and needed headliner
Well, great news....after many interested browsers and annoying kids wanting a joy-ride, I finally sold my "baby" to a good home.... and it went for $4750 (and I had two interested buyers)!!!
So those of you who have a nice ride, don't let some of these naysayers tell you your car ain't worth what it is to you...believe me, the interest for these cars is out there.
And thanks to all of you who backed me up....with this, I'm out...since now I am a not-so-proud owner of a Ford Focus and I guess I don't belong here anymore.....lol.
glad you got that much. just becaause you dont have one you did have one. dont go away unless it bothers that you dont have one. best of luck to you. heck man i paid 3500 for mine. and i love it.
LOL. I have seen some amazingly low mile third gens for 6500 on CL, i am talkin 20k miles for original formulas and IROCS, but that is just still too much for me unless you are a collector.
