I've had people offer to buy my car before, but nobody with the cash on hand to make a serious offer! There I was, sitting at a Sonic drive-in yesterday, my thoughts a million miles away, waiting on my Wacky-Pack :laugh: to arrive, when a Suburban pulls up beside me, and I hear this voice say: "Hey, nice car! You wanna sell it?" It caught me off guard, but I told him that it'd been in the family so long I'd get hurt if I sold it. Then he says "I'll give you #3000 cash for it right now.", and was reaching for his wallet! :shock: I laughed, and said "No, but Thank you, really." We got to talking, and he not only knew it was a Buick, but that it was a '71 :shock: . Seems he recently bought a '72 LeSabre convertible, and just got it back from the paint and interior shops, and liked it so much, he wants a hardtop too. :TU: I told him about V8Buick.com and the BPG, and we visited awhile until my lunch arrived and I had to cruise. Made my day! I'm not sure how much it'd take (or if I even could) for me to sell the 2NABOT, but it sure was nice to get an offer! :bglasses:
When I used to drive the 68 conv. for work, generally not in the best neighborhoods, I had one guy offer me increasingly crazy money for it. I think he got up to $10K (in 1995!) From the looks of him, I believe he had the cash, if you know what I mean...
I would get those offers too. Usually when I was filling up with 100 octane racing gas at a station located in North Mpls. (Not the best area) and putting up with all the cat calls about my Riviera from the local homeboyz. :bglasses: My comeback line was always that I wasn't done having my fun with it yet. And then I would quickly get out of that side of town. :3gears:
i work downtown detroit and i drove the duece n' a quarter in once two summers ago......i still got guys asking me if i'll change my mind and sell it! of course, they haven't scene it lately(not exactly ready to be driven anytime soon) shoot, that one day i had five different guys i didn't even know ask(and a few just flat out told) me to sell it to them!
I found a note on my Riv a couple months ago that said "DO YOU WANT TO SELL $500.00!!" and then it had a phone number... I wanted to call them back and tell them a thing or two for offering only 500 for it.. ..
surprising offers Had a man come over to buy some parts off me last summer that owned a used car lot and brought a friend that owned a car lot too, as we were talking his friend couldn't take his eyes off my 70 GSX so the next thing I know it his friend offers me 18.000 dollars right there of course I am shocked but I had to say NO ou: I told him 20.000 rock bottom I am glad I did because my wife would have had my :moonu: for that because she likes that car for some reason but don't care for cars or the hobby thats women for ya. :TU:
I was driving my mopar last summer a few weeks after I got it, and this asian guy on the street said "How much" I said you can't afford it, then he said "Oh yeah" and went to pull out his wallet. But I wasn't selling it at that point since I got it a few weeks back in the summer. Also another guy asked for sale one morning, he said he has a 68 Belvedere he was saying its the same car. And If I ever wanted to sell it for parts I should give him a call
