thinking about offer i got for my car!

Went over to a car show this past weekend, not to take part but to spectate and ended up taking a Buick GN owner i made friends with there for a ride. After the ride he offered me 15grand for it...i was hesitant for a minute and he upped his offer to 17g's before i could reply, i was stumped!! Including the 3200 i payed for that Z, i have a total of around 13.5-14 in it. That thought of a twin-turbo 427 in 90-92 RS is really beginning to call out to me now lol!

Unless you have extreme emotional ties to your car you should jump on that this instant then you could easily get another car, modify it and still probably have some cash left if your smart about it.

I'm gonna call him tomorrow and throw 20grand out there and see if he takes the bait. I seriously think he'll do 20 because he was pretty heated on his offer for 17...just need to find a good stretch of back road and dump all 643 ft lbs on him and seal the deal lol!

Go for it, I got offered 7k for my car 3 days ago and I think I will hold out for a better offer, I paid $850 for her and have done a heck of a resto job.
