why is the FIRST thing everyone asks is "WHATS THE LOWEST YOULL GO"
im just about ready to start hanging up on these people. LMFAO
im selling my truck for 2K bucks UNDER BLUE BOOK PRIVATE PARTY VALUE...... and people still dont wana pay just 3K bucks for a 5K dollar truck.....
BUT at least i got one guy coming tomorow to check out my truck BUT all depends on his bank... i just know i only want cash to avoid geting scammed by a FAKE cashiers check!
i just dont wanna come off as a @ss....
i just hate selling vehicles!
plus 80% of the people calling my are mexicans... which dont get me wrong... im fine with mexicans AS LONG AS YOU CAN SPEAK DECENT ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS AMERICA here ;)
i hate having to run up my cellphone mins also talking long distance and have to SLOWLY talk and try to understand eachother!!!!!!!!
BUT I GOT MY FINGERS CROSSED that the guy tomorow can get a loan and brings cash!!!!!!!!
I HATE SELLING CARS!!!!!!!!!!!!! people hear... NA THE PRICE LISTED IS THE PRICE... and say OK thanks and hang up....
come on.... i tried listing the truck awhile back for 4,500bucks and only got a few calls and now that i list it at the lowest price everyone calls and says WHATS THE LOWEST PRICE....
I MEAN COME ON!!!!!!!! does this piss anyone else off or am i just freaken out!!!!!!!!
it would TOTALY be different if they came checked out the truck and PERSONALY asked if id take less..... but with only seeing one picture of the truck and a short listing... AWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEE

people should try to negotiate, but don't low ball someone when they are giving you a good deal.

I KNOW!!!!!!! at least this one guy is trying to make it alittle cheaper and such... but im only droping to 2,900bucks lowest....
at least i emailed him all my pictures and talked to him several times over the phone!
only downfall with if the guy buys it is im still gonna be geting calls like mad.LMFAO ill have to change my phone settings or just leave the phone off.LOL
BUT I GOT MY FINGERS CROSSED......
half the cash is going to my mom cause she paid off my new computer bill so i could avoid KILLER intrest rates! and the rest will go to my RIMS AND TIRES>>>>>>> O YA!!!!!!!! i realy got my fingers crossed!!!!!!!!

They might be on a budget and want to see if you will go lower. I agree though, they should go see the vehicle and get a feel for it, then maybe then try and negotiate the price down.

lol......when I'm buying something I'm as big of a pain in the ass as a rogue collection agency. People will always try to negotiate...and when I'm selling something I mark it up with a reserve, so that there's plenty of room for negotiations and I still get what I want.

ya i had one guy previously that was shoping for a truck for his son BUT it was a windy day and WOULDNT YOU GUESS OF ALL THE LUCK... his sister was geting outta the back seat of the coupe and the wind caught the door and smashed her in the face!!!!!!!! bloody nose and all.... i was like O GREAT.... WHAT A SIGN!!!!!!! LOL he said he would call me back to discuss the truck after they went to the doctor BUT musta busted her nose and he used to much money to get it fixed.LMFAO
i was just like O GREAT... o this sale isnt gonna be good.LOL BUT O WELL.... i ended up preaty much RENTING it to my brothers friend and got 1K bucks outta it so thats why im selling for only 3Gs instead of 4Gs like originaly.
i thought about listing it for the full 4K bucks BUT im hoping for a QUICK SALE!!!!!! cause all i want is 3K bucks..... 1,500bucks to my mom and 1,500bucks for my rims... thats all i want right now ;)

ya know i have thought about fruad........... even told a guy at work to feel free and come steal my truck and do what ever with it as long as its not drivable afterwards.LOL BUT he hasnt and im to skurd to catch a fire in my truck and watch it burn :( LMFAO
plus not to mention me paying more money for insurance.LOL
but the fruad has gone thru my mind but i just couldnt do anything like that..... i may be selling the truck BUT i still love that truck :( i wish thier was another way i could pay off my computer and get rims BUT this is the best way...
id still drive my truck daily IF gas prices went WAY DOWN or my truck got ALOT beter milage.LOL but 16mpg can KILL your bank account REALY QUICKLY if daily driving it.LOL

i know what you mean addicition, its not quite the same as your situation, but im trying to sell a digi camera, there first response was, how low will you go. and there offering me almost half of what im asking. im not a pawn shop.

Whenever you list something, you want to ask about $500-$1000 more than you are looking for because people are alwas going to want the price lowered. The reason people ask what is the lowest you will go is they want to know if you are going to sell in thier price range. If the truck is worth $5000, then ask $5000. That way when some1 low balls you, you will get what you are looking for. If you ask for $3000, someone might low ball and say $1500. If you ask $5000 i don't think you be offered $1500.

MAN I LOVED THAT TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT due to BUSH..... jacken up gas prices sky high i just cannt drive the truck daily without going broke!!!!!!! it was about 75bucks in gas EVERY WEEK.... and thats just driving TO and FROM WORK.. VERY little cruising.....
one MAIN reason i got my civic was i bought this old 86crx that was preaty bad from previous kid trying WEIGHT REDUCTION... on it!!!!!!! BUT luckely he kept all the interior so i just had to figure out how it all went back in!
and it got just about as good of gas milage as my new civic around 28-30mpg BUT it had power nothing and NO AC and well just wasnt that safe so i convinced my mom to buy me a NEWER honda civic thats alot safer with thier newer standards and air bags and abs i have on mine. and ive been LOVING IT SINCE!!!!!!
WAY EASIER on gas which WAS so hard on my wallet!!!!!!!! now i just cannt haul big stuff
BUT GOOD NEWS ;)
that mexican that just came said he realy likes it and after looking and listening to it he asked to how low would ya go.. and i said 2900 cause gas tank is about empty... then he came back with WOULD YA TAKE 2,800... of course i paused and like well...................... ummmmmmm........ ya i guess i could take 2,800 so he talked to his guy on the phone and said he would take it... slaped down 200bucks deposit and said he would come back tomorow with the rest of the cash around 4-6pm so im like OK ;)
SO good things.......... hopefully tomorow all will go good ill have cash in hand and truck will be gone..... ill miss the truck and all BUT my civic will realy apriciate the rims. hahahahhahaha.. now i just have to buy that fender roller tool and get ready to rock some brand new rims... YEAH!!!!!!!!
BABY NEEDS A NEW PAIR OF SHOES..................

I'm really jealous over the rims, love them. The truck is nice too, if you were closer I prolly would have bought it for $2900. It would be a great project. Good luck with the rest of the sell

well the truck was all i wa realy selling.... LOL
i got a church bus as well BUT im in no rush to sell it anymore. LMFAO
i had BIG DREAMS for that truck BUT after shaving door handles, steel rollpan and such other small mods.. i just NEVER had enough cash for anythingbut GAS for the GAS HOG.LOL i wanted to bag the truck, drag the frame rails...... tucken 20s BUT with GAS cost i would just NEVER have enough cash to pay for those expensive items! :(
thank goodness a civic is MUCH CHEAPER TO MODIFY!!!!!!!!!
after these rims the civic will preaty much be DONE.........
i only got a few things id upgrade or change. high power alternator, 3 new yellow top batteries and upgrade my 12inch sub to a more capable/louder sub and everything else is so minor!!!!! new carpet, more suede interior.... and ill be golden...... after that only upgrade will be another civic.... 96-00 hatchback manual. ;) but that will be my joy rider..... lol but not my daily driver...

after looking at the pics of the truck, i know those mexicans will take it off your hands, all they look for are crappy looking trucks that are all "mexicanized" and old work vans.
