Chas, Was'nt just for a ride-- I simply don't have that kind of free time. If you want my feedback pm me, but I bought a CS. Your car was # 2 on my list FWIW. What happened to the guy from Canada?
I agree 100%. What paint has been done? Do you know when it had its last major service. That car is $20k over priced like you said a different price point and I would be in
+1 Mike, don't be sandbagging after all the help/advice I offered.... what CS did you pick up; the one at FoSD or the medium seats CS at Steve Harris? BTW, congrats, you're going to love the CS!
Guy gets help from Stockpro the CS guru and buys one and doesn't have the common courtesy to post pics??? what is this world coming to
easy on me boy! Fchat novice at work. Andrew was a great help and yes is was FoSD . I will post pics when it gets here. I have'nt been this excited about a car since my first car, the ubiquitous 84 GTI. Could'nt sleep the night before I got that either. It's good to be a kid again! Mike
You're not going to sleep until that car arrives. Might as well start learning all you can about your new ride. Download a copy of the CS owner's manual and go to town. RACE button is your friend. Post 'delivery' pics!! Domenic, you know who to contact when you've sold a few more cars and ready to start shopping.
All service records included? Which tires? I recall reading fluids and belts were done when you bought it, but not the full major service (tensioners, pulley, cam indexing and sealing, etc), right? Surprised you have't had more interest given the rare(r) leather. Reduce to $140k and see what happens? Seems to be a number of guys that like your configuration, surprised they haven't stepped up.
140 you will get some looks but 130 will get a lot more interest. no stripe car sells for 125 to 130 pretty quick I would assume. as stokpro said the stripes are selling now.
agreed, car was way over priced for options and miles. Hope you get it though, makes mine worth more.
And for a premium. That factory stripe seems to be the hot item right now. I have been looking and I really like the stripe too but it is sure adding to the prices!
And price differential between non-stripe and striped appear to be widening as well. Currently ~$24k variance in asking prices, but also very likely due to a few overly priced striped CS's.
The world is full of 'interesting' buyers right now. You have a great car. Stand firm, and don't let them beat you up. You know you will miss it, if it goes away. The car needed at least a full major, and probably $10K+ in parts to bring it back. I may have bought at $105-$110, but I am glad I didn't as I ended up with a great car.
