You think only turbo Buicks are bad for low ball offers....it's literally anything these days.

I sold a 1971 Chevelle 396 big block car back in Jan. I had it out for sale I think around mid November. The car was an easy $10k car, it ran, drove, looked good. I got every low ball offer from $3500 on up to $5500. I marked it down to $9k and got $8k for it as I was moving and couldn't take it with me. I later learned a few of the low ball offers were people looking to flip it for profit on ebay.

I also sold a nice 1997 S-10 in October, it was in mint condition, short bed reg cab with the big V6, auto and recently repaired (at $900) A/C system, retailed $5k...I got one low ball offer of $3k, probably some scum looking to do but what else - flip it for profit.

Also when I sold my 1984 Regal, it was a 2 door no rust solid 1 owner FL car, n/a 3.8 worth $2k, but I got every offer of $1200-$1500.

So yeah while I agree some want something for nothing, I think in this day of "Barrett-Jacksonitis", people see these cars and hope you will sell it to them for less than it's worth, so they can turn around and sell it at profit.

So it's not only Buick guys who are cheap. And that's why from now on, I am considering putting a firm next to the price, to let you know, if you can read, that that is my bottom dollar. But I'm sure it won't always work, because we all know low ballers have difficulty reading anyways right?

Yeah a car's value might be worth what someone is willing to pay for it, but it's also worth what the seller is willing to part with it for...........right?
