I really don't understand what your problem is? I have my way of valuing and buying a car and you have your way. You apparently don't approve of my way, not that I asked you, and I have never commented on your way. My way is no more open to debate than yours is.
All I was saying is that you buy cars cheap, which was the topic at hand and I explained that cheap to me meant your valuation was below the cited guide for this car. I am free to comment on your way of buying a car whether you asked me to or not, and likewise. Like Dave said earlier, maybe you need to have a thicker skin on the internet.
Second, I never said it was $3500. That was someone else.
I was being gracious since you were citing your buy of a 1967 Park Lane for $900 that you say is in excellent condition - is it also a 4 door? I really don't see what that citation has to do with valuation of this Monaco.
Third, I never said cheap bastard was used by you. That was someone else.
I never said you said I said it.
Fourth, I know of that website which is why I put the car at 3-. No way a 2. You have your opinion and I have mine.
If you look carefully at the site, a number 3 1970 Monaco 2 door is worth $5325 plus 25% for a 440 engine, which totals $6656 - and I gave it a little more because of the very low mileage, so that $7500 (the dropped price) is pretty close to what this car is worth, then, by your own admission. Which is why I am having trouble understanding your logic since I agree it is a number 3 car.
Fifth, if it was such a good deal why was it dropped in price? Then after being dropped why was it not picked up immediately by someone here? Did that mean no one was interested? Did that mean others thought it wasn't quite worth that? Had to be something if it ends up going overseas doesn't it?
Not really. I was commenting that the $7500 price was about right, not that it "is such a good deal" , and you were taking issue with my view that the car is priced right - which is why I was saying you were undervaluing the car. That value site takes recent real WORLD data and applies it in determining a car's value - the fact that the car is apparently going overseas says the car was worth somewhere close to the current asking price, which is what the guide estimated for a number 3 car. Folks in the U.S. middle class have little money since it is going to the top these days, not to the middle class. But whether it stays in the U.S. or goes overseas doesn't alter the price guide valuation or the car's worth.
Last, the reality is not what you are thinking above at all. Although formal owners are in touch with it.
I really dont understand what your problem is?
