This is why it's so hard to buy a car on the forum for that car. We're all certain our car is worth more that what's being offered on the open market because it is "well maintained" by an "enthusiast". If you want to pay a 33% premium over market price, be my guest. Otherwise, shop around and keep that extra five grand in your pocket to pay for any deferred maintenance/cosmetics/upgrades/whatever.

If you are in the market for a truly exceptional car, you don't care about price and know what you want and can take care of yourself. If you're looking for a Crossfire to drive, learn as much as you can and haggle with everyone, including "enthusiasts".

No slam on this forum, it's the same for any other car forum I've been on. Almost everybody selling a non-project car thinks it's made of platinum.

Peace.
