Which one am I misreading --the Mileage or the price....

Cuz they aint jiven to me

 

[John Larkin]

Lawrence and Janace are nice people. They are also vendors. If you're interested in their car, can you simply ask for more information instead of pointing out errors in his post? That doesn't show much class.

 

[BandAid]

John I have bought parts from them,,,So yes I know what good people are...
But do you think I am the only one thinking -Hmmmmm

MATH ..............

Thanks John for the defense and thanks BandAid&#8776 for the math exercise andcritique.

It is great that you read AND ... did the correct math.

HOWEVER ...

"Cherry Pie" is not for everyone BUT .. the car has lots of real neat stuff. A real looker and ... ONLY 122K miles of TLC.

The last 20K were 40 freeway miles to and from work.

This is not the typical $6K T-Type or rag GN.

Take your typical rag GN or T-Type ...

+ $3500 Paint & body + $3000 Interior + $1500 tran + $250 HP converter + $400 HPexhaust + $$$ body bushings + body braces + HD stab bar + HD shocks + poly-bushings + HP turbo + HP Elbow & DP + inj + fuel pump + adj FP reg + alarm + headliner + gages + NEW 17" tires + 17" wheels + labor and ... you have a rag + over $11K in parts "plus" labor + the original $6K.

It now appears ... that I priced it TOO LOW!!!

Thanks again John and thank you BandAid&#8776 for the mental exercise.

We wish ALL a very Happy New Year.

Have a nice day.

dude, its his car, let him sell it for what he thinks its worth. If it doesnt sell, does it affect you?

 

[turbosam6]

I'm not going to say anything, but I really wish I could add up all the mods of I've done to my car and sell it for that price or close. I could retire at 27!

 

[JToups386]

Not to speak for my friends Lawrence and Janace, but, I know most people's prices are always negotiable. Maybe he's accounting for that option?

However, I know this car. I've seen this car. I also know who painted the car. And, it's an awfully nice one-of-a-kind GN! It's not a "rag" by any means, and I don't think the price is at all outrageous based on what any GN goes for in decent shape or better.

I would agree with others' comments, in that, it's a bit rude to rip on somebody about trying to get an estimated fair price for a classic high-performance automobile.

My GN looks like it went through a tornado, yet, I wouldn't sell it for less than 10k in its current form.

Our cars are worth whatever anyone will pay for them, therefore, why not try to get top dollar???

What he said.

 

[spooledmgbgt]

Mr. Conley has been very nice about this. But then, he is from Humble, Texas!

 

[vicious6]

Mr and Mrs Conley are very nice folks, why must someone always come in with a negative attitude!

 

[spooledmgbgt]

I didn't mean my post as a negative. I meant it as being entirely complimentary to Mr. Conley! Many people who are selling their cars and having to deal with comments from some (bandaid8776) would be very irate and rightly so. Mr. Conley on the other hand responded very gentlemanly to bandaid's comments and I just pointed out that Mr. Conley happens to reside in Humble, Texas.
I've talked briefly with Mr. Conley @ Bowling Green and seen the
quality of his cars and am certain that "cherry pie" is a beautiful
car that has had much tlc and he should be able to ask whatever he wishes for his car without being subjected to derisive commentary. Now, back to the purpose of this thread, there is a a car for sale!

humble: not proud or arrogant, courteously respectful.
