I Need Advice: Selling 58 Impala

[Mark17]

I'd tell the guy $23k and not a penny less. Beautiful car but would you rather have a car or a house? I'll go with the house without question. What can you do with that car, besides insuring it, doing maintenance on it, maybe driving it a bit and praying you don't get into a fender-bender, sit on it through the winter... and maybe end up lowering, then lowering again, your ask price.

My buddy and I bought a 1931 Model A a few years ago, and when we sold it early this year, we took a big loss. Not the same, I realize - your car is much more desirable, but trying to sell our car was a boring, tedious hassle and finally we were glad to be out of it.

If that helps any... Good luck.

I would take the $20K and be happy for many many reasons.

i don't deal with unsavory people, but seems like moving the car is your best option. still pretty slimy for the guy to offer $25k and then drop to $18k. i'd have to take a shower after the "18k and not a penny less" comment, then coming back to offer 2k more. what a douche.

i agree with the 23k suggestion. but i can see why you dislike this clown.
