do you guys think i can sell my car?

What is a side of the road dealer? Any dealer is going to hustle you, that's the entire premise of their income.

And the cars I'm talking about.. I either scrap or fix and sell for like $3k. 90% of the time I scrap because I'm too busy to deal with it. I'm not trying to make money off you just offering help, I don't need to make money that way. Keep it in mind anyway. I'll let you know next time I come across something.

 

If you can afford to be lazy then more power to you.

 

^^gimme a break

i have other commitments like a job and a wife that i like to spend time with on the weekends.

i don't have a lot of time to drive 1,000 fucking miles to buy a car. it wouldn't be all that cheap to fly their either (probably cheaper in the long run if deviant is giving me a good deal, but still a time commitment that i can't necessarily make)



but deviant, thanks for the offer. i can't realistically entertain it though. i'll give you the money i sell my taurus for if you wanna drive something up to me

i just meant a smaller dealer. it's actually my mechanic who i trust reasonably well, who has a little "side of the road" lot where he sells used cars. he may actually get some of them from down south too. and even cars from PA are a lot better off than NY, because they don't use (as much?) salt on the roads.

 

Bring the wife. Have you ever been to florida? It's a lot more fun than NY

And not to nitpick, but deviant was definitely not what I was going for with my username haha

 

ooops must be all the posts about guns

i've been to florida yes. do you live in jacksonville? i've never been there.

 

Edited for the nsa

 

uh, I didn't suggest you drive 1000 miles for the car. I'm saying use a little elbow grease and make it look nice so you can get more out of it. Sheesh!

 

Deception isn't cool.. if the fenders are rusted that bad I'd hate to see the suspension. Now we're getting into liability issues if he paints the fenders with spray paint, then a control arm rips off the subframe when some housewife is transporting her kids on the freeway

 

in the statement of mine you quoted, i was saying that i'd rather have a dealer transport the car from florida and pay extra than to make the trip myself.


wiping a little dust of the dashboard isn't going to change the fact that the entire exhaust system is in shambles. and the fact that the frame is so rusted out my mechanic could poke a pen through it. it's not road legal. i would be surprised if anyone gets this car inspected and legal to drive. it's likely going to be used for parts, one of which probably is NOT the dusty dashboard.


i just shoveled every bit of snow off it, and moved it to a snow free parking spot. the car is pretty damn clean minus the dust.

 

Yikes, I looked through the pictures and could barely tell there was any dust on the dashboard at all. I certainly would never have noticed that.

God forbid something naturally occurring "pollutes" yer car. .

 

the dash is actually pretty noticeably dusty, but happilyinlove was trying to push my buttons

 

lol I guess I'm super un-oberservant. Would never think to dust a dashboard. Maybe once a year?

 

you ever hear how you don't put bumper stickers on a ferrari?

for the opposite reason...i don't bother to dust my 1997 ford taurus

but i have found that if you're cruising down the highway, and you rub the dust really quick with the window cracked, it will suck the dust right out haha

 

Happilyinlove is a firecracker. I like it :svengo:

 

if she was a guy, she be an "asshole" instead of a "firecracker"

i even changed "fuck off" to "gimme a break" when i noticed she was female

 

Exactly. That's what is so awesome about it.

When it's a cute female it's attractive. There's nothing like a female with spunk and keeping her in her place.

(sorry happily)

There's nothing worse than a female that agrees with whatever you say and has none of her own opinions.

And if a dude it just warrants fist to face.

 

See I'd rather someone just be honest and telll me to fuck off!

 

fuck off then! lol

ps thanks deviate and porkstock41. my man is like "damn she's small but you gotta watch out for her!"

 

UPDATE

here's my latest ad.

i have one guy that was gonna pick it up tonight at 6:30 for $400

and another guy that says he'll take it tomorrow morning for $425
i told him it's his


finally got everything out of the trunk. i had my tent, two chairs, boots, sneakers, jumper cables, four-way tire iron, a jack, baseball bats, tennis racquets and balls, blankets, sleeping bags, and other random shit in there from the past 7 years. the trunk was a major storage area.

laid eyes on the spare tire for the first time ever. if it wasn't a donut, i could have sold it to my mechanic for 15 or 20 bucks.

pretty great car - $3100 for 7 years of use.

 

i never hold things...first person to show up and pay me gets it

ive learned that lesson

only exception is large down payment..like right now im holding one until dec 15 on $1000 down...paperwork was signed that the 1000 is forfeited if not paid in full by then




your full trunk reminds me of this one guy who brought me his taurus once and wanted new struts because the rear was sagging so bad ..i opened the trunk and there was 2 rolls of asphalt roofing in there...I took them out and the car was fine ...
