Does anyone recognize this car?

Hey guys, I keep thinking that I've seen this car on here (or somewhere else) before and I was just wondering if any of you know. Does this seem too good to be true? Thanks!

guys, this is my old car.

I sold it for $115K last year. I to question why $75K and no reserve. Ask Sharky and anyone who saw my car in the past. At the time it was in excellent condition and insane power.

I would find out if the owner crashed it and repaired it. $75K is way to low. If he kept everything the same, I would say the car should sell for $95K.

Good luck.

Wow, that's why I love these forums Do you by chance know the name of the guy whom you sold it to? I just want to compare answers to who he says he is

Fred,

Do you remember how many miles were on the car when you sold it to him?

i believe around 18K+. So the guy never really drove it!!!!!! What a shame!!!!

At that price, might as well buy it, put it back to stock and resell at 80-85K. then sell all the aftermarket parts and make money on the car ;-)

My gut feeling is that his dad wants him to sell, he was getting too many tickets, couldn't handle the power, or came on some hard times and must get quick cash.

at $75K, something is wrong?????

When did you sell the car last year? I'm looking at the carfax report and it doesn't have record of him registering the car after you sold it to him. No accidents have been reported either...clean.

He didn't put down a reserve that doesn't mean he's selling it with no reserve. This is how Ebay seller reel in their bidders. He's probably going to end the auction early if the bid is not high enough.

That's EXACTLY what he's going to do. He's even put the disclaimer "I reserve the right to end the auction early" on his seller notes! nothing like a crappy eBayer!

Talked to him. Supposedly his sister just died and he doesn't want to deal with the car anymore. He's firm on $95k though. Thought a dream could come true for a minute

I'd say its still worth the $95k if it is in the same condition as it was when you sold it to him. STILL cheaper than a new one.
