to keep or flip?

prices going a little soft now, all at once several for sale tell me what you going to do, i do not own one, YET

 

why don't you sell it to me?

Grazie

 

Looks like you already have it advertised for sale at your Blackhorse Motorsports:

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/ctd/968402270.html

This is an enthusiasts' website. If your intentions are genuine, why don't you let folks know more about the car's condition, history and your price? Just a suggestion, but in my view it would be more straightforward and productive.

 

Definitely dump it on some unsuspecting customer who doesn't understand how much these cars cost to restore. Just based on the few pictures you've shown, this is just a well-used example.

 

Restore it!! It's not like they are making any more of them...Of course that is just me and I have a hard time letting cars go. Good Luck!!

Your post on F-Chat is dated Oct. 23 at 6:08 p.m. The Craigslist post is (was, actually, it's now removed) dated Dec. 23 earlier in the day. Not sure how your calendar works but the timing speaks for itself.

As for the "volume" of postings, I'm a great believer in quality over quantity. Not sure what you were getting at, but my point was very simple. As an enthusiast, I am interested in hearing more about your Ghibli to share in your excitement. Please provide more details about the car - what makes it special and interesting? Is it an early car with features not found on later cars? Is it an original one-owner California car with no rust, all the service records, from the collection of a devoted enthusiast?

If you were truly taking a poll about whether to "flip or keep," the results are pretty predictable and tedious. Some percentage will tell you to keep it and enjoy and the rest will tell you to sell it ... to them.

If you are trying to sell the car, let's hear more details. I am also a great believer in transparency. Your post could have used some. For example, you could have disclosed that you have a business buying and selling cars. Your friends may know this, but others may not. It's not apparent from your profile. You also could have disclosed that the Ghibli was advertised for sale on Craigslist at the same time you were posting about it at F-Chat. Or you could pony up the $15 for a subscription to the very F-Chat upon which you are so prolific and just advertise your car here.

My views are neither "misguided" or "distorted." I made some observations of fact and asked for some additional information about the car that was the subject of your post. Let's hear more about the car.

Lastly, your ad-hominen attack was both surprising and unwarranted. It's an unusual approach for someone in the sales business, especially in this economy and in response to a local SoCal collector/potential customer.

Let's hope 2009 is more prosperous and successful for us all.

 

Nice car you own.

best regards!

Richard -

Nice to see another imbd member posting here. I'm well represented on the site, as is Annunaki.

Yes, subscribing is indeed a good idea. I heartily endorse that suggestion. As little as fifteen bucks increases your credibility to an immeasurable degree.

Welcome!
