If You Are This Angry About Selling Your Car Maybe You Should Just Keep It
If You Are This Angry About Selling Your Car Maybe You Should Just Keep It-January 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:53

Selling a car privately can be a royal pain. With all of the dumb questions and low ballers it’s no wonder so many people just trade their old ride to the dealership. But if you have resorted to essentially yelling at your potential buyers, maybe private sales is not for you.

One of our readers sent in this that he says has appeared over and over again for several months. Each iteration has just added more capital letters.

Clearly, the stipulations and the implied aggressiveness are likely the result of dealing with potential buyers who either weren’t serious or possibly scammers looking for a quick buck. I can sympathize with this owner, I tried and failed to sell a car on Craigslist, but I recognize that most people can manage these transactions successfully.

However, it is entirely possible that a serious buyer with cash in hand would be willing to purchase this , but they may not be able to adhere to these stipulations like “not asking questions” and “showing up the same day.”

It’s a good position to be in when you don’t have to sell your car, but it’s okay to admit that you don’t really want to sell it either.

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...
