Default SOOOO Tempted

While at my moms eye doctor, I come out to get the car and there was a business card on my windshield. It said, LOVE your car and color, if you ever want to sell it,give me call. Well I did call him and thanked him for the comments, he reinterated that he had cash in hand if I wanted to sale. Well everything has a price, I'm tempted to throw a number out there and see if he'll bite. Not wanting to sale, but I could upgrade to a newer and better Vette. I'm on the fence, I'll wait and see. Thanks for listening, L8R ZFLASH

Now as it is

Does not hurt to listen. If it does not make money $$ it does not make cents.

I like both and they both get a lot of attention. The reason for changing, 1) the wrap was getting old, drying out and scratching easily, 2) I was the first in Houston with that color, now there are two other vettes with it, So time to change it. Thanks, L8R ZFLASH

I had a note of my truck, that said someone would like to buy it. As I was driving out of the parking lot I saw several yellow notes on other trucks. I knew this person was probably a dealer. I called him, and he wanted to low ball the price on the the truck. Be careful. If you meet meet, meet at a police station.

If it is something you want to do, check out what offer the person makes. Check out what a site like Carvana values the car at if they buy it from you and see how that compares to what the guy that approached you offers. I know mine valued out at $3K more than I paid for it nearly two years ago. Tempting but I like my car too much.

Ask a price that makes it worth YOUR while, if you wish... but, be prepared to accept it, too. I've seen such happen and a friend ended up selling a car he thought he'd die with, but having shot a "crazy" price he felt he had to honor it when it was accepted. All the best, in any event.

I like the before better as well. I wouldn't get too excited until you get an idea as to what he willing to pay.
I had a guy with his girlfriend come up to me in a restaurant parking lot acting all big-balled as though he had to have a 63 coup of mine, gave me his card. I called him several days later and gave him a very fair price and he laughed and started trying to convince me that it wasn't worth near what I was asking. I ultimately sold it for $11,000 more that what I told him I would sell it to him for.
