Default What Is Going On????????????

I haven't pushed the issue of selling my car. Are folks not looking to own an FI C5 anymore?

FYI, dropped my asking price over 10K!

Holiday time is probably the slowest time of the year to move a car. People are busy with family and are often a bit extended.. Be patient. It's a beautiful car.. I'm sure the right buyer will come along.

I haven't pushed the sale, Mark.

Poor economy

But mainly due to GM's problems and the dumping of new cars at very low prices in an effort to raise cash to keep going the prices on C5's fell through the floor.

It really sucks for everyone out there who recently bought a car as they are all under water or paid where more than the current market price.

Good luck with the sale, too bad I wasn't coming into the C5 market now as I could have saved a fortune.

I would say the market is on the downside lately.. People are trying to keep their jobs and houses right now. Couple that with right before the holidays and it might be a tough time to sell an expensive toy.

You may have to wait until the weather warms up again Jay. There are people out there with the money for a great car like yours.

I was so close to winning Powerball this past weekend!

If I had the other 5 numbers, I would have bought your car in a second!!

Good luck with the sale, it's worth every penny!
