I've noticed a lot of guys in the Lower 48 just don't cruise that often or go very far (compared to guys I know up here that cruise several times each week or just every single weekend). They have spurts of fun with their rides. There's just so much more to do down there year-round besides cruise (for guys like me that aren't all about exploring the great outdoors) that they can keep busy without putting "cruising" on the top of their list. Most significant stores are nearby, too. Then there's the high cost of living where most of them have to work hard to maintain, so they really don't have excessive energy or time to put miles on their cars. They make money, maintain, and when there's some excess or a sacrifice can be made then they mod, but they don't stray very far for most endeavors. That's just my over observation, though. There are tons of exceptions. It still boggles me about that silver bugeye wagon on Craigslist that only has 18k miles! |

It's definitely very very low miles no doubt about it. Rare to find here in AK.
But man you're killing it with that 21k LOL |

Found out why Don was selling his car. He's driving an Evo 10 now. I saw him heading onto JBER at Muldoon.

I understand that, but having cash or being pre approved doesn't make something worth less

When you have someone pre-approved or with a check to buy on the spot, the seller will usually consider even a slight adjustment on their price. Why go thru additional weeks of idiots that just talk big, banging or breathing over your car? Wasting gas and time. It's money wasted for the seller. A buyer always has the upper hand to push for at least a couple hundred bucks lower on a multi thousand purchase. Hence his statement cash in hand always drops the price. As a seller you place yourself in a better position by pricing slightly higher than what you want. That way you have room for these expected negotiations. Though sometimes a price has to be firm because they're upside down on a loan vs value. Or because it's priced to sell fast as is and for the most part lower than typically valued. If you're a buyer and you can't ever walk from a completed high ticket sale with a lower price or at least something extra to make it worth your wild. Well then you're a terrible buyer.

^True but some people still don't wanna bargain because they believe mods add value to their car, lol.

I would rather buy a professional put together car than a ripped apart one. Or obviously one never touched to begin with. The only time I see a car gaining over base value with mods is for a very extensive build. Even then the owner shouldn't expect more than 30-40% (at best) of what they paid on that build. |
