Experience with selling a high HP vehicle?

[Big A]

This 100%....full amount of Cash in hand or no driving. Had a guy wreck my buddies Viper during a test drive luckily we talked the night before and he had a brief case of cash he was holding when they went for the test drive.

Dumb-ass...down shifted to a low gear at a high speed did a 360 and slammed a curb on the right side of the car....my buddy just looked at him and said you now own a Viper :-) (he then asked if my buddy would claim it on his insurance)

Hearing this cements it, I had an open mind to somebody driving it without the full amount, but if they're serious after I drive it for them, a real buyer will come back cash in hand.

Damn Aaron, your car is very clean looking. If it was a A-6 I might make you a lowball offer.

That's a very good price too, you shouldn't have a problem selling it.

...and I might ignore you.


Good to hear, I'm not going to drop my shorts, but I've got it priced where I'm good with keeping it if it doesn't sell.

Will you explain a buy back? like a repo?
Once they hit 100k, people dump the cars. I saw a 4 door at 97k for $22k.

Is 100k when they start to go bad? Some cars are like that, kias and such.

There was something else I can't remember but with just 50k miles it was a reminder of why I stear clear of GM products. They also have driveshaft, sunroof, and timing chain issues. 11 and back 6cyl at least had oil burning issues.

I really loved the design, comfort, and concept of that car and it had me looking hard at the Lexus FC cars since it would be all that and reliable.

Which is sad cause it used to be that GM was fairly reliable. All my GM buddies keep saying they've gone downhill. Maybe the loss in quality has something to do with all their financial problems.

Seems like the Lexus would be pretty reliable, what with being a toyota and all.

In the past, I have driven the car on test drives. If they HAVE to drive it then I need cash in hand.

Dash/console light issues, windows not syncing up when opening and shutting the door.

Sunroof leaks or what? I've been looking at 4 doors.

Most are lemon law buy backs. This one was bought back after a few months of the original sale date so more than likely buyers remorse so they came up with bullshit issues and essentially forced GM to buy it back.

what did you not like about the coupe? Seeing these dip around the mid $20s make them very appealing to me. I'd like a black 6 speed soon, but theres something like only 1300 or so, and I have a parking issue at the moment.

Most of the mid $20k cars Ive been seeing are higher mileage....

I really really liked my CTS coupe but the little issues here and there drove me nuts. The things this thread brings up are exactly why I bought my Z3M. Other than the stereo upgrade, I got no interest in modding it. Looks good, drives fantastic, kind of exotic looking, but affordable.

Is $36K correct? For some reason I thought it was going to be decently more.

Depreciation in the first couple years is a B, I have significantly more in it.

I asked, but haven’t seen anything.

I haven't had time to clean it up and take pictures, and need the second car until I officially start working from home again. It'll be a few weeks before I'm ready to list.

Here's the ad, I'd love to find a home here, but I'll try the other avenues suggested as well.
