Jim they all sit around waiting for the uneducated
buyer that grabs the first one the see. They
would ultimately do better; if they moved them in
and moved them out. |

Ken, just tell them to call you when they're ready to entertain a $33k sale price. When they've sat on it long enough, they'll call. The only other hope they have is latch onto an uneducated buyer. |

It is probably better that this will not work out since with the fiance moving in tommorrow and a wedding in November I should probably not even entertain the thought of an Fcar for a while. I am still feeling out Park Place and just got off the phone with a sales guy and they might try to come doewn on the price a bit, but they wont even get to $33k (IMHO) and I wont even pay that for the car since it is due for a major in about a year.
Ah....to have enough disposable income to make the decision easy..... |

I love to hear about stories of people that have
a "car" that is outside their normal vehicles they
usually carry. They really do not know what they have often. They charge a hi price to make
sure they are not taken for. When the vehicle is expensive they end up sitting on it. You make a reasonable offer and they come back that they
are willing to wait. Excuse me but you already have sat on the car seven months. Wait some more.
Good Luck Ken |

So on to the next candidate! It's a buyer's market, you'll find the car and Park Place will be eating the costs of keeping this one in inventory.
Are you set on the 3.2? Martin has a black QV for $25K. Rodney also told me about an red 83 euro coupe that's for sale at $20K. |

Well, it appears as if Park Place has no interest in selling the 3.2 Cab. I talked with them again about the asking price of $39.9k and explained to them that it was just much too high for a 3.2 cab that needs a major in about 12 months. They asked me what price I was looking for and I told them $30k with the potential that that would go lower if a PPI reveals major issues.
A good '88 3.2 Cab (26k miles) with current maintenance should not go for more than $33k unless it is pristine and a potential Concourse winner which is not what I would buy anyway. There is a member on FChat from North Carolina that has an identical Mondial to this one with 30k miles and current maintenace for $33k which he just sold, so I know that I am correct on the pricing. He had previously asked $37k and got offers around $28-30k which is furtehr proof that I am correct about what this car should go for.
Anyway, I was at Park Place yesterday having a warranty issue on the E55 taken car of and the Mondial is back on the showroom floor all cleaned up. They have now had 2 potential buyers for the Mondial (there was another person before me) without a sale. |
