It's an OLD USED CAR! What do you expect?!

[Runner71]

Hi all,

Just wanna share my opinions about my experiences in selling my old classic pre-owned car. Had a feeler to sell my classic E36. Its a decent ride, with minimal problems other than the usual wear and tear parts that every passing automobile suffer from. So I put up my intent, my price and even clearly mention to all forummers that I'm selling a classic, so they would really have to be practical and told all low-ballers cum bargain hunters to stay away.

Met up one of our forummer. He drove (rather terribly), tested and commented. I'm cool with the comments, for I always believe that people have their opinions, and thus is respected, regardless.

However, what i cannot accept is when, they mentioned that they would have to "do-up the interior" (??cant remember having my car door panels dropping and peeling!) and also would have to spend money to redo engine or brakes or whatnots.

My advice to all potential buyers: YOU are getting an OLD PRE-OWNED CLASSIC! Get Real! If you want a car without anything to be done up like new, then, GET A NEW CAR! Cos any TOM DICK and HARRY would know that once you get ANY Pre-Owned Car, you need to do some work, for the peace of mind, REGARDLESS of condition!

So please stop giving excuses if you cant afford a spectacular old pre-owned beemer. I'm sorry if you can't. But theres no need to give unrealistic baseless excuses that reflects badly on you.

Go get a used Jap car, or better...go get a NEW Jap Car

Brudder, try to relax a little
People normally say these things to convince you to lower the price some more, as I'm sure u know.
Maybe u can just set a base price... and ignore the other negative stuff you hear. If he meets it, then good. If not, then jus sat 'thanks, but thats simply not high enough for the $ and work i've put into the car'. If he knows a good deal, he'll come back running !
Hope this helps a little

Normally when buyer pass negative remark i know he is not looking for a good car but a good price. So i will just ignore them.

Make worse if their girlfriends is around. the deal will never be done..

Re: It's an OLD USED CAR! What do you expect?!

Just put up your price tag. They agree then let them test drive. No point wasting time for both parties.

Care to put up pic of your ride and PRICE

relax bro, i think he said "which guy (who wants to buy old cars) IS like this?' refering to the the potential buyer not the car. anyway saw your ad abt your car in the other thread, nice.
