Yellow lenses, hood doesn't fit (Class Glass?), hole in bumper, faded wheel caps, backwards wheels...

That car doesn't look worth 20k.

Now I really feel bad!

I sold one of my 92's yesterday for $30,000.
I wouldn't want to over charge someone and it was the one that runs real rough. (didn't even have the classy black hood.)
I might not be able to sleep tonight.

I think he is just attempting to help drive up the value of our cars with this claim (as suggested with his response).

Either that, or the guy was loaded and 20k really just wasn't a big enough of a deal to loose a car he wanted over.
If it was a 97 as someone brought up, then it could be argued that it would be among the rarest when/if our cars do become worth a few $$... some 360s are worth a pretty penny considering their state ...rusted to death, not running, with plants growing in them, so why not?

Yeah, I noticed that after, and then the joke set in. I was confused that it was black, and Class Glass is the only black aftermarket stock-looking hood.
(I realize it is just a stock hood painted black.)

For the record, I didn't mean to say I thought my car was worth $30,000- ...I just meant it would be hard to sell a car you love.

kwren, this is no joke okay.

You sound like you are trying to suppress future prices by making a mockery of what I just did.

Maybe you are not a current owner and just looking to get one on the cheap from someone by saying high SVX prices are an impossibility.

Maybe youre a current owner and are trying to get another one cheap.

Either way, its time SVX owners that are looking to sell hold out for a higher price like I just did successfully. To the tune of 20K.

When I painted my hood black and put my wheels on backward I told my wife there would be a day that she would agree that it was a good idea!

I am going to Disneyland!!

Was the buyers dad a CT. Chrysler dealership owner? He had made me a generous offer on my 97 the Friday before Reading.
