Is this a real post?
I mean a classic car for $2500 that needs work and the OP has to think about it?
I’m sorry but has anybody looked at prices lately?
I’ve seen rollers sell for triple that
If you have a friend who can do some welding and you have a guy who does motors buy it, drop a motor and fix the rust issues and you can flip that car for 15 to 20 grand even with the current paint.
That’s a rare year they don’t come up for sale too often I’m surprised no one is saying go for it.
I would’ve bought it the moment he said 2500.
I guess I’m just surprised that everybody seems to be more inclined to part the car out.
A while back, I was looking through the classics, and I found an ad for a Mopar. The guy wanted a rather low amount for the car, and I actually went to look at it just with the intention to look at it, but I ended up buying it. I took a friend with me. He saw the car, and he said man, even if you bought a junker and you wanted to make it look like this one it would triple in cost.
So I bought it right away and at the time it felt like the deal was so good that I was waiting for something to happen like the motor giving out or I find a big hole on the floor but but I figure even if I had 5 to 8 grand for a drivetrain and some rust repair. I’m still ahead of the game plus I had gone over the car and the car seemed solid. Too solid.
The guy had also mentioned that he had a lot of people look at it, but no one actually wanted to buy the car or they didn’t show up at all.
Anyway, I take the car to a car show a few weeks later and there’s this one particular guy looking at the car over and over like he’s a Barrett Jackson professional.
He comes up to me and he asked me is this the car that was listed on so and so website and I say yes it is.
He says I was supposed to go look at that car and buy it, but the price was so low that I thought there was something wrong with it. I can’t believe you got this car for that price. I said, I actually got it for lower than it was even listed when I got there I haggled.
The guy gave me his phone number, and said if I ever want to sell it to call him because he would even go 5k higher than what it was listed for but I don’t sell.
