[DML] Re: Recurring offer on eBay

["brandelorean" <brandelorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey there,

I spoke with the owner when it was listed for like the 2nd or 3rd 
time and apparently he bought it as a project car and doesn't have 
the money to finish it.  I made an offer but at the time he felt he 
could get like 10 to 12k for it or something.  It has kept moving 
itself down as time moves along.  I did see it actually sell to some 
other eBay car dealer type but apparently the deal never went 
through.

If you ask him, I believe he'll send you some more photos.  As for 
the seats, I like what he did, but those fascias and engine issues 
are definitely a problem.  If you're interested I'd offer 6k as 
atleast the stainless looks ok and it atleast has an engine (as mine 
didn't at 5k but didn't have some of his other problems).  It's 
always a trade off but ask for pics of the undercarriage and see if 
he'll take less.  

Sadly, I think he'll wait it out until he gets the 8k he wants as he 
listed it at 9k for like several months with nothing....and now is 
at 8k and will probably maintain persistence.  I was interested in 
his engine as I was hoping to get a deal on it (since it has 
compression problems) but no luck as he was also looking for too 
much on it.  

I believe it'll probably stay on eBay until he lets it go at 5k with 
no reserve...then bidders will probably chime in and take it up to 
7k.....maybe? lol

Anyways....good luck!

on the list seen this in person? I would not pay $8K for something 
so questionable, but I think it has potential if the seller would 
lower his asking price. I just wonder why he can't even sell it 
after all this time.
