i was selling my 1990 300zx on craigslist and some kid offered to trade me his beat up civic with cash on my side......

i never cracked up so much

[redline racer510]

some guy offered me 30 bucks for my front aluminum z brakes and he kept insisting it was a good sale for me i told him to go suck camel dick and get a life lol and he is still trying to get these brakes off of me he said he will do 40 bucks cash and he emphasized the word cash lol i called him up and told him you need to get a job man and get out of the whole car scene thing.

[1989rps13]

When i was testing waters on selling my full kouki 180sx front bumper i got a lowball offer of 150$ cash :mephfawk:

[VanduzerLancerES]

I was selling s14 slotted and drilled brembro rotors and i was asking 100.00 and some guy said 25 bucks, and i have to pay shipping.. Yeah. That sounds like a great idea dumb shit. :)

[BorHor]

I hate when people ask "what is the lowest you can go." Give me a price that you can freaking afford even if is a low ball sheesh.

[K_style]

i was selling my 97 kouki s14 with coilovers , r34 whees, some mods ~~

was asking $7k

some guy called and told me he is really interested but he checked value

from KBB.COM and told me he thinks the car worth around $4k...

and then he told me if i sell it for $3.5k he'd come to pick it up next day..

ofcourse i said "NO" to him...

i was in shock... when he said about KBB.COM value..

and if they offered me like 1.5 (since KBB says s13 coupes are only worth that) id tell them to go somewhere.lol

:ddog:

[drivefaster]

I got you all beat,TRUE STORY: 6 or 7 years ago I had a 90 240x for sale that I just did a high quality total engine rebuild on and was asking like $2,200 or $2,400. This girl and guy looked at it and said they would like to take it to a mechanic for him to look at, said they need it for 1.5 to 2 hours, I said ok. They came back 6 FUCKING HOURS LATTER and offered $200!!!!!! WHAT FUCKERS!!!!!!!!:fawk2::mrmeph::smash::fawkd:, I sold it 2 days later for $2,150. Can you all top that one?

[INeedNewTires]

a friend of mine played the worst, and best, joke on me once. My car is decent, kouki, SR, suspension shit, whatever, anyway he posted it on craigslist with my cel number for $1500... literally in the 3 hrs it took to find out who did it and get him to delete it i got 90 phone calls and 35 txt msgs...

the thing that sucked was i had to answer all the calls cause it was my work number so who knows if its an actual client, I ended up saying " oh i forgot to add a zero to the end" just to see if i got any bites.

The best was when one dude said "Well its pretty clean but alot of em are green, and i'm sure its not legal with the motor and all so i'll give you 1k" i laughed my ass off, for like a minute into the phone, until he hung up. wow, just wow

But if you guys wanna get your friends goin, do some crap like this, i was hot for a while...

[Flicktitty]

I put my brothers 03 Corvette convert. 6sp on CL a few months back, asking 22K someone offered me 14K. got another offer for a 680WHP 89 Civic hatch.

[Brian]

When i was testing waters on selling my full kouki 180sx front bumper i got a lowball offer of 150$ cash :mephfawk:


Oooo Oooo wasn't that me?

[A Spec Products]

Haha we don't have the time or bandwidth to go through my list

I hate when people ask "what is the lowest you can go." Give me a price that you can freaking afford even if is a low ball sheesh.

Or better yet

When they say "hook me up man on a good deal"

Then you quote them, and they say

"Is that the best you can do?"

And it's like riiiight, ya got me, I actually quoted you with a fake high quote first, waiting for you to ask me "is that the best," then I was going to give you the ACTUAL real quote LOL

I mean, I understand why that person asked their question, cause it's an honest question, but why would a seller quote you, then 10 seconds later expose that they were giving you a higher price to begin with? Doesn't make sense right?

The thing is, I don't have issue with haggling, if its justified

People need to stop thinking that just because they ask, they are entitled to the lowest possible price

If you come up with a reason why it should be lower than the price I quoted, then sure I'll give it some thought

Keep in mind that as the buyer, you need to have some tact, and the more things you do to complicate/frustrate/irritate the situation, the harder it will be for you to get a good deal, and/or establish a positive rapport with the business (which may lead to better deals in the future)

Also, the biggest thing that motivates me to give a good deal is SERIOUS BUYERS

If I know the person is ready to buy and not kicking tires, then that's way more motivation to try to help you out

But if you're the "boy who cried wolf" aka the guy who hits me up every day on AIM but hasn't bought anything for 1 year while promising "ohhh mannnn i totally would do it but _______," then there's a good chance I won't be as believing when it comes time that you say you are ready to buy

Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying don't shop around or do your research before purchasing...but there's a difference between doing research and window shopping...even a "hey man I'm just price shopping before I make a purchase in a couple months" goes a long way, versus a "oh if I buy this tomorrow how much would it be" (knowing full well you aren't going to make the purchase)

[HyperTek]

"Ill trade you a ae86 its worth alot" or "Trade for cressida?"
sorry those cars are not valued at alot, unless the ae86 has alot of jdm brand name goodies with jdm bumpers in my opinion.

You get alot of low balls when they ask you if your car is street legal or "will require special smog"... supposedly street terms, people think that knocks 1k off your price lol

Where i used to work, always got cocky people calling in for cheap deals.. "Austin come on, you can do better then that. I know you got a cheaper deal".. that shit used to piss me off when im already giving them the special lol

In retail ,its bad when people come back a week or month later to see something on sale, and be like "how come this is now on sale?" and "I want to be reimbursed" ..

[S_13_Sr.]

someone offered me 3k cash for my car

and then told me that 240's were overrated and i was lucky to get 3k

[WISH ONE]

Some one offered me 200 for full authentic BN sports aero A while back, no cracks no scratches.

[ticklemeermuel]

I quoted someone $250 for clutch work on a p10. Motherf*cker had to the nerve to say $100 and I'm towing it to you already. WTF?!?!?! Just Recently someone lowballed me on an RSR downpipe more than half off. His reasoning "come on man I really need this downpipe my current one is leaking bad. I have a 4 year old and can't drive them in the car with the fumes seeping into the car". Seriously!!?!? I guess that's why I'm reluctant to take a potential sale/ sidework seriously I guess its just something we all have to deal with...

[Flicktitty]

as much as we ALL HATE lowballers...

those guys are some of the people that get the best deals on shit :(

I was selling some Hero's racing wheels I had from a few years back. Had them up for like $200 or something. I got an offer for 3 supra wheels with no tires, 2 mini trailer wheels WITH new tires, and a toy AE86 model

I was unamused, but had a good laugh

[unlegendary]

i posted a thread on s2ki about FS stock kouki 1997 and someone said, "wtf? free please."

[1989rps13]

Oooo Oooo wasn't that me?

ding ding ding ^^ you were the lowballer

[mtx450]

This thread is win, honestly haha.

[ericcastro]

I cant believe you guys actually think your modded 240's are really worth much over bluebook. lol
Just cause you mod a car, doesn't mean they go up in much actual value.

In 1996, i bought my 89 240 for $4200 cash. Full HKS exhaust and rims, in WA state too.
thats 13 years ago.
And you guys want that for a 240 with some suspention , exhaust, rims and matbe a swap, over 12 years later. lol!!!!
S14's go for less than what you ask!!

no wonder your getting lowball offers on cars. be real drift taxer's!!



Parts, well, thats a different world ;)

And CL, well,.....that sites like a all around win of comedy :)

[drift freaq]

Ya I can't even begin to list all the super silly lowball offers I have thrown at me on cars and parts.

I think the best is when you are selling something for $30 and they tell you they will give you $15 shipped, cause usually the item will cost $15 to ship. so its like your just giving it to them.

[txrxs]

official callout retracted due to misunderstand...lol

[s13gebala]

you still selling that 180sx k front ^?

:trogdor:

[ROIDMONKEY]

He is. Give him 30 bucks

[Jimmy Up]

[yokotas13]

Dude that was me the last time i bought the GL 57s!!!!!! lol
lol, thats why i didnt give you a deal
shit got annoying

[JeremyR]

i was selling a staggered set of sportmax, the wheels were less than a year old. i bought them new from my previous employer and got them at like, 10% over cost, so i paid around 600ish for them. anyways, i curbed one of them, but the damage was cosmetic only and the wheel wasnt affected in anyway. i put em up for sale for 200 bucks. super super good deal as i really just wanted them gone. some mother fucker had the nerve to tell me that the wheel was "totally fucked up and that i'm smoking crack for trying to sell it" and then proceded to offer me 5 dollars for the set. i ended up selling them 2 weeks later to a buddy for my full asking price.

I had the reverse lowball happen i posted a 91 integra for 1500 on CL and some kid said hey i cant get this 240 to run right would you take that. When i went and looked at it it had a redtop in it and right away i noticed his MAF wasn't hooked up so I handed him my title and now the 240 runs like a champ.

Freaking NICE man!!!

I put my 89 two-tone up and said I was open to trades, it has blacktop sr, coils, S15 turbo, fmic bolt ons etc. A guy offered me a 1996 Mercury Sable with "a new starter and fresh oil" lmao it was hilarious. I give some of these guys credit for having the balls to say such things. I'm not going to lie, I've thrown out a lowball or two in my life, I'm sure 99.9% of us have. As it goes in big ticket item sales, you won't get something you don't ask for, the worst they can do is say no and you can usually shoot a realistic offer from there. Every once in a while, you get what you ask for, or pretty darn close to it.

No, what's worse is when you call someone to ask about a car they have for sale, and they're all gung ho about it and so you ask if you can take a ride to see it this weekend... and its like two hours away... So the weekend comes, and you call before you leave so you can set up a place to meet at (I'm not fond of, hey come to my house to see it kinda shit)... and about 30 minutes from where you're supposed to meet you call and get no answer. Okay, maybe he can't hear the phone, or he's busy. You call once you get to the meeting spot. No answer. Wait for 30 minutes, and head home empty handed. Never hear from the guy again

That shit's the gayness.

I think most of 240sx specially 97~98 worth more than blue book

well i ended up selling it for what i was asking..



how much do you think S14s worth ?

was i asking too much ??

No whats worse is what happened to me. I called this guy in San Diego with a car for sale. I told him I was coming from Los Angeles and was leaving to come look at it. He said ok. So I leave and cruise down there its a good hour and a half drive close to 2 hours.

Anyways, I am like 3 miles from the exit and I see the exit sign so I give him a ring on my cell. Me.... "Hey I am just about at your exit I will see you in 5 minutes", Him..... "oh don't bother coming down I just sold the car"! I was so pissed, I started cussing his ass out lol.
I was like, fuck you, I came all the way from LA and you knew I was coming down and you just went and sold it without even waiting, or calling me to tell me you were not going to wait? He fucking hung the phone up, I called his phone back and left one nasty ass message on his voice mail.
It was some fucked up shit on his part.

Thank god I was also going to pick up a trans down there so the trip was not all for lost.

[Brian]

ding ding ding ^^ you were the lowballer

[firelizard]

Some guys in a pickup driving down the backlane offering 50 bucks for my 240SX. They were serious too, they thought it was ready for scrap.

[98koukile]

Have you seen most Zilvia for sale threads? I think everyone asks way more than they want to get because they know they'll get lowballed. If you ask $300 for a $200 item the people who know whats its worth will offer you what you really want to get for it. I've never posted what I actually want to get for something the first time I post a price.

On a side note I've gotten some good deals lowballing. My car is worth more right now NADA than I paid for it all those years ago. And some of the parts I've picked up I've gotten for decent prices just by throwing an offer out that I don't expect to be accepted.

I do however have tact and if I can't afford the asking price I don't string the seller along, I tell them I'm not interested and don't bug them about the price

[wow-thats-a-cool-car]

I had my s13 coupe up for sale on craigslist for 1500. Some dude said he worked in torrance and he would pay me 20 dollars a week until I had 1500 dollars. I said are you serous and he said yes I'm good for it. I laughed in the phone for a couple of minutes. That was the funniest offer I ever got.

O I was selling a 12v dewalt drill and somone offer me a case of thin mint girl scout cookie for it. I took the low ball offer I <3 girl scout cookies. And it was june so I hadn't had them in a while. Sooo tasty

[Devius]

a friend of mine played the worst, and best, joke on me once. My car is decent, kouki, SR, suspension shit, whatever, anyway he posted it on craigslist with my cel number for $1500... literally in the 3 hrs it took to find out who did it and get him to delete it i got 90 phone calls and 35 txt msgs...

I did the same thing to my father. i posted his Z06 Corvette on craigslist for 4k "due to bad economy" as a Aprils fools joke. i think hes still getting offers til this day. he got me back good though one day when i came home from work and found out he had actually sold my old car for 50 bucks to his friend, then had the guy show up everywhere i was for a week driving it. lol i got it back but i had to fork over 50 bucks to the dude.

[1989rps13]

Still got it?

I wouldn't mind a spare bumper.

I'll give you $175.

Nope im saving that bumper for another 240. I'd say just save those 175 so you can get those d-max floormats:keke:. Oh shit look theres a group buy go and put in that deposit of 60 something dollas hahah have you even put in your deposit son? hahaa:faint:

[Pstl_pete]

There was a guy on our local forum giving away a free Sr block and he lived a little ways out of the city. Somebody messaged him and asked him if he would pay their gas to come pick it up. Shit, he could probably get like 50 bucks for it at the scrap yard and this dude wanted him to PAY to have it picked up. Now thats messed.

[mkiv98]

wow the guy i wrote about in my OP wrote this PM to me:

"wow dude real fucking mature, i didnt just fucking offer you the shift knob. i would never need to low ball anyone for fucking anything. money is tight for everyone in the community and everyone is trying to get stuff sold to make ends meet. just cuz i fucking added that to the list of shit i have laying around doesnt mean i was just offering that in trade for something thats worth more. a fucking shift knob for an lsd?! really man? wow"

here are the other things he offered me in addition to the "shift knob"

"i wants but gots no cash, but i do have some fog lights, one pair are yellow round ones, the other are oem rectangle ones from an 89 or 90 hb, i got coupe interior pieces, a pig nose front no lip cuz it got destroyed, fenders, a T4 turbo thats new only mounted never used, i also have mega weighted shift knob i made out of a trailer hitch lol its 1pound heavy. thats all i can think of right now. anything you like?"

thanks man, a pignose front with no lip, interior pieces, and a bunch of other junk.

[kaking]

i was trying to selling my 89 hatch that still ran good w/ wheels, exhaust and intake for $1500. dude offered me a mazda 626 & $500(not bad but i was selling because i didnt want 3 cars)...so he offered me $500,a sub, plus a older dell laptop. the laptops keyboard didnt even work, i woulda had to hook up a keyboard to the USB port. how ghetto would that be havin a laptop w/ a extra keyboard

[lolatclint]

had my car for sale for $50 and some guy lowballed me FREE

[mkiv98]

had my car for sale for $50 and some guy lowballed me FREE

that's not super unreasonable imo because if you're selling a car for 50 bucks, it's probably a piece of crap that you just want out of your driveway. :hide:

[BustedS13]

i had a '90 parts car. i bought it for $200 and pulled the Sportlines off of it, swapped on my stock springs. i sold the dashboard out of it for a hundred. then i went to sell the car for $200. i list it on a local forum as a parts car, clean title but needs a LOT of work, for $200. bad engine but it had a very clean frame.

some kid says he's really interested but needs to take a look. he comes over and sees a $200 parts car. he acts mildy interested, says he needs to talk to his dad. okay. he's not going to buy it, he's some high school kid getting in way over his head. no biggie.

then he posts up in my local thread about how shitty the car is. "the interior wasn't even put together, it was all in the TRUNK!!!!!!" and so on. who the fuck does that? what do you expect for two hundred dollars? fucking retards.

[tanks13]

how bout this you tell ur friend he could have your old motor but he says you have to drop it off and do a full tune up cause you abuse that engine way to much Hahahaha guess who ended up with that single cam hahahaha yup an old tire

[Agent_S13]

Anyone ever thought of doing this? I don't sell too much so I can't comment of having done it myself.

I only ask because yes, I've seen a lot of lowball offers from Zilvian's in the FS section... and they flamed for it.

2) Pick some random out of the way place and tell him to "meet you there".

When he calls to complain, tell him that you don't like his lowball offer and then try to get justification why he even thought that was fair. When he decides to complain on Zilvia, post what his lowball offer was in response.

Zilvian's will take care of the rest.

Yeah its subjective, but if you look at the majority of 1-sided offers in this thread they would just get laughed at by the rest of the community and show that they're poor. Yes, I will laugh at you for being poor -- why? Because you're not spending it on necessities, but for a hobby.

I think Logan (Aspec) said it best in one of his posts -- (to paraphrase): Don't spend money you don't have. I think he even mentioned that if you come to him hoping he'll convince you to buy wheels from him over more important things (bills, family), he won't sell to you.

I'd love to see the "Feedback" forums flooded with "Bad Seller - Wouldn't take my week-old trash as payment for his Volks!" type posts.

i was asked to part my car for 2 grand cash & a supposedly 500"da vinci" home entertainment system when i brought the car for 4 grand back in 2003 with 74,000 miles on it.

[juice.def]

Anyone ever thought of doing this? I don't sell too much so I can't comment of having done it myself.

I only ask because yes, I've seen a lot of lowball offers from Zilvian's in the FS section... and they flamed for it.

ROFL!!!! i love how he did everything to the body.

and is still on stock rims

[White Comet]

wow i had no idea.i haven't really been lowballed at all. if anything, people offer more then what its worth. when i got my fc someone offered a grand more then i paid for it the next day. i sold my free s13 for $1k.
lol at BH trying to lowball for a kouki bumper. i got mine for $100 even

[singlecamslam]

No, what's worse is when you call someone to ask about a car they have for sale, and they're all gung ho about it and so you ask if you can take a ride to see it this weekend... and its like two hours away... So the weekend comes, and you call before you leave so you can set up a place to meet at (I'm not fond of, hey come to my house to see it kinda shit)... and about 30 minutes from where you're supposed to meet you call and get no answer. Okay, maybe he can't hear the phone, or he's busy. You call once you get to the meeting spot. No answer. Wait for 30 minutes, and head home empty handed. Never hear from the guy again

That shit's the gayness.


Whats worse is when you call the dude and tell him you're on the way and you'll be these in an hour and a half. 10 minutes away he calls you and sold the car. I was extremely pissed to say the least.

[godrifttoday]

i was selling my tranny for 2 bills and the had driven about 35-40 miles to come pick it up and then he said " ill give you 150 for it" i said how much money did u spend for gas to drive all the way over here? then i was told him i dont need the money i just wanted to clear some space, either you can drive all the way home empty handed and pay for some more gas or just pay me the 200 bucks and go home with a tranny

what did he do?

I had a seat for sale for 300$ a guy calls me and tells me he wants it. he low balls me 250. i said no. he then proceeds to tell me how its not worth 300. I said fine im not hurting for money ill keep it. 3 days later same guy calls and offers 150. and said thats all hell give me, i hung the phone up.

[ZX88]

some guy try to low ball me $50 for my spring and strut set up. (sportlines and kyb)

[vin diesel]

selling my car: for 1500
guy- i can do 1300
me- no, sorry 1500 is lowest
guy- well how about 1350?
me-WTF??? no, 1500

[ZenkiCam]

had my s13 for sale for 4000 guy offered me 300 cause he said thats what it was worth on KBB. Like Sagat says... "FUCK DAT!"

[lukebaumstark]

trying to sell my 1970 plymouth duster for 4k, i got an offer for 5 bills picked up... (rebuilt engine btw)

put my vintage peugeot ventoux 12 speed bike on craigslist for 800 bills obo, (worth more) and i got a novel explaining why i should sell it to some guy for 100 bucks.. it was like 8 paragraphs about saying how it would make me a bette rperson, and it would be way easier..

wtf man hah

[wgJoY]

I did the same thing to my father. i posted his Z06 Corvette on craigslist for 4k "due to bad economy" as a Aprils fools joke. i think hes still getting offers til this day. he got me back good though one day when i came home from work and found out he had actually sold my old car for 50 bucks to his friend, then had the guy show up everywhere i was for a week driving it. lol i got it back but i had to fork over 50 bucks to the dude.


dude... That's intense lolll.

I actually was selling a turbo and some parts one time for 500.
A guy messaged me for 450, and was the only offer I was getting so I accepted, and said ok deal. He messaged me the next day saying he wanted 400 because "He really needed it." -.-

[kalypso123]

blitz realize TT exhaust with downpipe... 180$

I wasn't happy, but had to get rid of it.

[soreballz]

I can proudly say that I have NEVER lowballed anyone. Yay for me. I have gotten many lowball offers though... I was selling a set of wheels a while back, had em posted for 400, some jerkoff offered me 75 bucks for the set.
Another time, I was selling a VLSD with a 4.36 ring and pinion, had it posted for 300 bucks. Somebody wanted to trade me 50 bucks and an open diff for it. lol

Even worse than lowballers are the shady sellers. My girlfriend was looking for a car a couple years ago, and I found an AE92 Corolla GTS for 1500 bucks on Craigslist. Guy said it was a '91, 150k miles high comp, small-port Redtop 4age (which IS the proper engine for a 91), new clutch, aftermarket exhaust, lowering springs, etc. He said it had been in a minor accident and needed a new rear bumper, but that's no big deal, right?
The guy lived in Valencia by Six Flags, and I lived about 65 miles away in Long Beach at the time. So we set up a meeting to check out the car and drove up there on a Sunday (took two and half hours due to shitty LA traffic). We get off the freeway, got lost because the guy gave us shitty directions. After giving us the runaround for 30 minutes, he finally tells us where to meet him, and then makes us wait another 30 minutes while he drives over there.
So, I start looking at the car, and I realize the body damage is worse than he says; the trunk floor is all smashed up. I figured, "whatever, I'll just use this to talk him down." I took the car for a drive, and quickly realized something was up with the motor. It didn't feel nearly peppy as a high comp 4age should... I popped the hood and saw the TVIS plate on the intake manifold, and figured out that is wasn't a redtop, but rather, a basic big-port bluetop 4age. After noticing that, I asked to see the title, and the title shows the car as an '89 model with 220k+ miles.

At that point, I basically told the guy to eat a dick, and we took off. HUGE waste of time - just like this post... HA!

[driven_]

1900 for my s14 when i listed it for 2900

[98koukile]

selling my car: for 1500
guy- i can do 1300
me- no, sorry 1500 is lowest
guy- well how about 1350?
me-WTF??? no, 1500

That sounds like a reasonable offer... I would put that in the negotiating category before lowball. Then again at 16 that's like 3 extra video games

[lilredstiffy]

stock brake rotors-

I asked like 40 OBO for all four.

Got an offer of 15 SHIPPED 'take it or leave it'.

[KA-T_240]

I have had some nasty lowballs on $20-30 parts.

I just got an offer on my WRX. The dude offered my 5200, but I would have to replace the front fender and rear bumper. I am asking 9500.

[BurlyR32]

I got offered $3000 + a "Gaming computer" for my skyline

[CursedGTR]

I had a guy try to convince me to sell him my 25,000.00 (after discounts) Built RB26 for 2,500.00 in cash.

His reasoning "Dude, I see RB26's on auction all the time for 2500.00"

My Response - "Since I have more than 2500.00 just in machine work, I will give you the metal shavings that were left over because I have seen scrap metal sell for millions".

[NISMO_tuner]

Was selling my Buddy Club Spec 2 for $300 got an offer of "$80 cash mony today"
in his own words. i told him if i can find one for that price I would buy it.
then he said that its worth 100 tops. i wrote "lol...if you can find one for that price buy it, but just stop buggin me with ur lowball offers and save up some money or give up cuz tuning aint cheap."

[Koopa Troopa]

Some dumbass talked me into $975 shipped for my Motec M4. I accepted his offer only to have him turn around and buy something else that didn't do half the shit the Motec did and cost 2x as much.

What a fucking dumbass. Hope he'll have a nice life wasting money to be mediocre.

[usdm180sx]

When i was testing waters on selling my full kouki 180sx front bumper i got a lowball offer of 150$ cash :mephfawk:

[tchenku]

i had my 240 on craigslist not too long ago, and a few days later i got an email from someone offering to trade his 2006 Suzuki KingQuad 700 w/ an exhaust for my 240. i didn't even know what the hell that was. i thought it was a truck. so i looked it up and turns out it's a damn atv. WTF am i going to do with a damn atv?

[used240sxparts]

I got an offer of $5,000 for my 1998 180sx that i was selling for $14,000

[enkei2k]

i had rims posted pretty cheap already for 50 bucks for Z32 rims and tires, 1 busted, someone offers 50 dollars shipped to west coast, (i'm east coast). shipping those things woulda cost me at least 100 bucks so basically i would lose money. yes, i was hurting for money but still.

[piranhamatt]

I had a freshly rebuilt sr20 motorset with bolt-ons, installed in a car so the buyer could hear it run, listed on craigslist for $2250. Someone sent me "I've got $250 cash in hand today I can give you for the motor"

[dex]

[joeapple8]

trying to sell my 1990 camry for 800, some guy wanted 300 for it.. WTF? oh yeah he said cause there was a crack in the windshield, he should only pay 300. What an idiiot

[kalypso123]

there are some low ballers in this thread right now... I can smell them

[mmaxeyjr]

i had my 240 up on craigslist a couple months ago. 1990 111,000 miles, no rust, runs great. some guy said he just needed my motor for his car, then he sent me pics of his 240 and it was completely rusted out (holes through floor board etc.), and missing hood, fenders etc, etc... so he said he would give me $200 to take the whole car so he can pull the motor.

edit: and i was asking $2,500 for my car.

[Monooxide]

^^hahah lowballer

its 1500 short of his askin price

For a modified car like that, you're dreaming of getting $8,000 most likely.

If someone selling a car is approached with cash in hand of $6500 you'd be surprised at the bites you'd get.

[180sExy]

i had some seat's for sale on here an some other sites. they were listed for $600 an the most i was offered was $250, an then what pissed me off is that most of the people were acting like they where doing me a fav buy taking these off my hands.

wasnt my car btw, but sorry you feel that way. 500-700 off i can understand, but 1500 is ridiculous. They should PM those type of offers, not shout em out in the threads

[Monooxide]

The PM deal, I can agree with but however, selling cars is usually different than parts.

[toycar]

i was selling a safety inspection relocator plate that retails for $20 for only $10, still brand new. some asswipe told me "i have $5 cash right now." so i asked him if he was serious and he said yes so i told him to stfu and go ask his mommy to give him $5 so he can afford the 10. :l101:

[hunter8411]

Was offered $200 on a kit I was selling for $450 and yet was butt hurt when I said no.

However, I did offer $1,500 on a car the guy was asking $2,500 for. Ended up settling on $1,700 after a week...which I've already made back parting the car and still have plenty of parts left.

[jdm538]

than i can see you believe in low balling
car and parts = still merchandise.
walking up to a guy selling a $20 part with $12 bucks in your hand does not talk. A car is too valuable to let go easily.

[dirtdiggler666]

ok this is a good only about a week ago

selling a flywheel i was asking $250.00 firm retail is about $380.00

some fuck tard said i will give you $150.00 then i said add $100.00 and you have a deal. then he said you want more than what you were asking :goyou:

My friend is currently selling a clean FC making 370+ WHP w/ Standalone and fresh engine and cant even get barely $3000 for it.

[ayuaddict]

hmmm...

i was selling my pink 240...didn't get any offers so i junked it.

i was selling a 3" veilside evolution catback for like 250 and nobody bought it so i threw it on the beater.

origin 20mmF/50mmR for like 200, nobody has yet to offer me money...

1979 corolla with work equips and a spare 3TC but running rough for 700, nobody is interested...

i had a EM racing C pillar bar (quick disconnect) for EK up for sale for $100, only offer i got was $60 "because he was driving down from sac" so i told him ill deliver it for $140.

the only think worse than getting low balled is when you put shit up for hella cheap and nobody is even interested.

...i dont even want to get started on honda folk.

[Matej]

Selling this for 20$.

http://www.matejblahut.com/photo/buyselltrade/auto/intakefilter01.jpg

Today someone asked me if I'll take 15$, haha.

[importantone]

Craigslist is always bad for low ball offers. I don't remember any specifics, but I remember something I was selling for a reasonable amount and someone offered me $20 dollars CASH and will pick up NOW.

[Def]

Just got offered over 30% less than my asking price for my M3 today because he felt he should pay "less than what Edmunds(!!!) thinks it's worth."

I also told him to slow down if he didn't know how to take a corner fast after he lifted hard right at the "apex"(very early) highway on-ramp on the test drive. And he called my stock E36 M3 clutch "really tricky" when he kept bogging it out on the start(it's stupid easy to drive). It was horrendous.

[Touge180sx]

Sold a N62 maf on ebay, Ended up selling for 3.30$ lucky I charged about 9$ for shipping, Just enough to cover shipping and all of ebay/paypal fees. Guy gets it and says his car runs like crap and it must be the maf and wants another one,(He explains problem and sounds like other issues from what he tells me!) I told him I dont have another one but I'll refund his money So I did and told him to pound sand.

I guess thats not really low ball, it was a sale.....damnit I suck

[$nicklefritz]

i was selling my 1990 300zx on craigslist and some kid offered to trade me his beat up civic with cash on my side......

i never cracked up so much

:ghey: .... seriuosly weak man

[Ailiaw]

I hate when people ask "what is the lowest you can go." Give me a price that you can freaking afford even if is a low ball sheesh.

This.

I'm selling my Apexi N1 duals for $240 OBO including a header and I get e-mails "What is the lowest you can go"

COME ON, the EXHAUST ALONE is worth more than $240 and I'm giving you headers for free.

I also just sold a 93' Civic 5-spd with 170k on it but new suspension, bunch of new stuff perfect paint and not one ding. I got offers of 'how low can you go' and a $1300 offer. I was only asking $1800, I sold it to a guy for $1600 because he was nice and cash in hand.

[sausage180]

if you can find a tomei boost controller like this one for cheaper then go for it.

i'm still waitng for his reponse.

[sonomadrifter]

Similar to mine^

I put my stainless, 3 inch, straight pipe up on craigslist for $200 thinking it would be gone the next day and get a e-mail saying simply:

"You take 60"

No not a question or a statement of inquiry, but a demand.

[landins13]

i was selling my 99.5 mk4 vw jetta a while back, its got suspension, i swapped in a supercharged vr6, and the car had 65k and motor had 18k i put up on craigslist 4k obo and the best off i got was a 1996 mercury mountaineir with 280k on it that didnt run, and some kid wanted to trade it with 200 cash.i took my car down from the site and decided to keep it after that bs.

i had a kid worked at a machine shop that offered me 100 for my built sr block, and said that if i didnt do it he was going to report me for having an illegal motor. ive never dealt with that shop again, and since have taken everything of mine far away from there

Wow I hope you either got that punk kid fired and/or beat his ass.

And ugh... I Guess one of the worse lowballs that happened to me was when I was out Sunday night cruising [it's a tradition everything petrolhead does in my city] and I ran into my cousin and his 2 friends in a parking lot.

One of them looks at my jdm 180sx and says, "I'll give you $1,000 and a [beat the fuck up beater] 91 integra for it." I wasn't even selling it and I just purchased that car for $7.2K and paid another $600 to get it saftied so wtf? To make it worse he kept repeating his offer for the entire night.

[yabeet]

I wonder how many people he has tried that with, what a douche.

I had a 2000km built KL mazda engine w/ fidanza flywheel, 365ftlb clutch, awr mounts, a killer single top feed fuel setup which is really rare and so much more stuff for sale for 3k and I got offered 1k because, "Thats all it is worth." I ignored him and he kept PMing me saying, "Did you accept my offer yet?"
I sold the block and heads alone for $2500, and made more money parting it out than selling whole.

Shit, my wheels were almost worth half that offer.

[PHeller]

What's funny is that everyone that has posted here knows damn well that they are either trying to break even or make a profit on the ish they sell.

First rule of business, always make a profit.

So happens is, we've made ourselves into low-balling monsters, because we have know idea what has been offered before us.

For example, my buddy and I will try to work on someone by calling, offering less than the other. Once the seller thinks "maybe I am asking too much", he eventually sells it for around the middle offer.

The market for used cars/parts is the same way. You won't take the low ball, but very rarely does someone get exactly what they want for their sale. If everyone always got exactly what they were asking, fan-boy cars like the 240SX would all be selling for 20k. That's part of the reason Supra sell for so damn much, because everyone that buys one isn't afraid to drop $25,000 on a 10 year old, high mileage, beat ass car.

guy offered me 200 dollars for a pristine silvia front end if i wired and installed it for him, i told him you got to be sniffin crack or something and he went on telling me it is a good deal for me. a good deal to me is you not buying it lol.

[cc4usmc]

blah $70 shipped blah.

That's not even a lowball, considering you're asking $80. It would take like $5 to ship. $40 shipped would be a lowball.

[vespaman]

sorry if that's not sound lowball enough but i think my price is already cheap and i got piss when he replied me saying like $70 is reasonable for a used MBC but come on do you guys thinks he can find a tomei boost controller any where eles?

how in the world does he know how much is the brand new go for and now he thinks that $70 is reasonble????

as you guy know that tomei stuff are not cheap at all.

if he doesn't happy with my price then leave and shut up.

[aoiken3]

i like how most lowballers think they know the value of your car better than you do. their logic = bush's logic

I had my 1700mm gt carbon wing for sale on craigslist. For 200. A few days later some bastard send me this in my email:

"just wondering but would you trade for a universal 2-8 cilinder tachometer? it goes up too 10000 rpm has its own shift light. its sunpro brand"

WOW I got so pissed. lol

[Grimace]

I've got one. We were trying to sell my brothers 93 Integra a wile back. It had a fully built engine. I'm not talking about rice fully built, I'm talking cams, valve springs, retainers, stroked LS-Vtec. It was also just rebuilt by a professional shop with all the paper work and such. It had 1000 break in miles on the engine, And around 130k on the body. We had the car listed for 3k.

Some guy comes up from FL to look at the car, (4+ hour drive for him). Gets to the house, Looks at the car, Then busts out his phone and tells us hes some master mechanic and he builds 1000whp engines all day. Now comes the test drive, He stalls it pulling out of the drive way. I can tell he drives performance cars from his master clutch skills. Gets it going on the 2nd try to only stall it again at the next stop sign. OH JOY. So, After about 5 minutes of trying to explain how to use this super hard clutch (stage 3 act 6 puck unsprung) We get it out of the neighborhood.

Car runs good and solid, No problems, Misfire or odd hesitation. So we go back to the house. He pops the hood and leaves it running and gets out. Once he opens the hood he complains about the valve noise. OH MY GOD. Its got a built valve train, No shit its going to be loud. He tells us that its got bent valves and the engine needs rebuilt ect ect. Then offers us 1000.... The rebuilt alone cost 3400, As proved on the invoice.

After calling him a dip shit and telling him that he had NO idea what he was talking about I said "I don't care if you pull 3k out of your pocket right now, Due to your ignorance I wouldn't sell the car to you anyways. Enjoy your trip back to FL fuck face." And went inside.

Here's pictures of said car so you can see what im talking about.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/teckademics7420/bros%20car/41ce1c37.jpg

We dicided to not sell it, Funny because with all those ben't valves its been daily driven fine and has good compression and everything.

[origin_s135]

i posted up oem 135i rims with run flats on craigslist for 1000. dude wanted it for 700, i said hell no.

He gets back to me and was like yeah I couldn't get approved from the bank. I was kinda like uhh I thought that you had cash. He goes well can you take monthly payments( dead serious ). I was like yeah I will take monthly payments and when you are done paying for the car I will give it to you Jokingly. Hes like no well I was thinking $400 a month and I will sign some papers or something???? Whhaaa even worse than lowballs being serious about giving strangers my car and taking an IOU

I was also mad Lowballed from 4 army guys on my wheels saying come on bro I am in the army like sappy stories and shit. I am not a jerk or anything but why do I give a shit if your in the army its your career choice? Because you are in the army I should give you $500 bucks off shit and pay for shipping?

[reaxion]

LMFAO...wow....and I thought Ive heard of lowball offers but damn

[FaLKoN240]

2 guys in a row offered me $500 for my turbo kit (New would have been over 2k) when I was already asking a reasonable $1200, and they wanted it shipped.

Then after I started parting out my car people started offering me cars/trades (Not a lowball, but almost as irritating.)

[Flicktitty]

We dicided to not sell it, Funny because with all those ben't valves its been daily driven fine and has good compression and everything.

that's a pretty nice Teggy.....:boink:

[XxDarkSidexX]

account activated, here my test post. Thanks to bob an admin for the help getting here.

i have a real staggered (that means 8 wheels i bought total) to make 1 custom set of Rikens 16x8 front 16x9.5 rear 5 lug, 3.75" lip on the front 4.5" on the rear......with tires im asking 1500 (which is a steal imho, just the rear tires alone 295 50 16's cost me $300 + tax + shipping). And btw wheels are fresh from shop 0 miles on them. these were made for a buick grand national. Okay, so this kid calls me saying that he loves the wheels and has never seen a set like em. I reply, "Yea because there arn't any, this is a custom made 1 off set i made after buying 2 sets of Rikens. And I picked the best wheels of the 8 I bought to make this one set of 4" he next words were, "well sense their a 1 off set can you lower the price to $1000, I have $800 cash and we can meet up tonight if you want and I can give you the other $200 later"

I almost got pissed, then didn't. I just hung up on him, and he didn't call back.

[510-SR20DET]

i dont see why this thread still going? Yall do realize that one in the life time you were a low ball, at least once. Isnt this kinda talking shit about yourself?

[Grimace]

Thanks.

i dont see why this thread still going? Yall do realize that one in the life time you were a low ball, at least once. Isnt this kinda talking shit about yourself?

I can't speak for others, But I have never low balled the shit out of someone. Sure, If they post OBO im going to ask if they will take a little bit off the price, But I would never ask to cut the price 3/4ths and have them ship.


Oh, And another one. I used to own a White Zenki. It was automatic but perfect body, and interior. Even the engine bay was spotless. I'm talking, Not one dent in the car clean. The only thing the car had was an intake, And some springs. I wanted 4k for it. Some kid said he would give me 1300 and tried to make it like he was doing me a favor. Saying, How there were much cheaper cars then mine.

My question, If there are such cheaper cars... Why the fuck are you calling me? Ugh, If I ever found that kid I would toss him off the Savannah Bridge.

Again, The car.

[TommyBoy89]

I was selling 4 brand new Falkens for $300 Cdn the guy says, "I have never heard of this company, I will give you $100 for the 4".

Stickers still on them brand new :(

[XxDarkSidexX]

Riken Black Mesh 5x120
16x8" fronts with custom 3.75" lip, 225 Kumho tires (80% left)
16x9.5" rears with custom 4.5" lip, 295 BFG tires (brand new)
*with the rear tires on the tire foot print is 11" wide!

"The market for rare Rikens isn't good right now, plus the economy isn't doing that well. I will take them off your hands for $900, let me know."

I spent $300 for the new 295'50'16 tires alone lol. Not to mention all the $ I have invested in the redoing of all the wheels or the original purchase of the wheels. Click the thumb, then the pic in the new window again to see full size. Repost I know, but after re reading my first post I shouldn't post drunk :l101:. Rikens have zero miles on them, tires mounted balanced almost zero balance too. Weights are sticky, and on the inside of wheel like they should be!

I hate low ballers with a passion. I like how ppl like to say "I'm just trying to be frugal. If I can get it at half what the seller is asking, then I'm better off". If you can't afford it then move on. If you can, and are just trying to pull a fast one, then get a life. I've always wondered if people haggle like this with places like Aspec and other larger shops. People act like your stupid if you pay close to what the seller is asking. To be hones, if you don't like the price, move on.

[godrifttoday]

Why do u hate them? I understand what u mean with shops but I belive we are talkig yo private party sales. Shops must take into account cost benefit scenerio, u just can't do it at that price because of the overhead cost and anything associated with that. But why not get the best deal possible? I know I don't feel bad when I get a good deal on something nor care if the person post or complain about about how cheap I am so what! U got a good deal. I think that's capitalism as it's finest, maybe i can sell it for more? For an instant profit. But if I need something but if I don't think it's a good deal I'll just wait, impatience will cost us money almost everytime. But that's just me I totally uderstand when people go from a price to practically 80% off lol that's insane, but overall just get the best and lowest price possible

This is almost on the dot exact 350z I had in mind I wanted to buy in about a year from now.

I have a 1990 240sx with a KA24DE installed and was put togethor from ground up basically the engine and 90% of it's components and what not are all replaced or maintained. Is one of the cleanest engine bays for a 240 around imo. Very clean and low profile exterior actually has a 2008 350z gloss black (G41) paint job... Is used for drifting however all those that know me and know how I am with my car I am on top of my maintence and I overall take very good care of my 240. has 120.439 miles on odometer and Engine has around 102.386 mileage and this Engine is overal a rebuilt. Clean crack free dash! and has 2x red Tenzo-R bucket seats with a gt formula 270mm steering wheel greddy counter weight shift knob. This car has all name branded parts installed for the most part no cheap quality and in efficient parts on this 240. I have all maintence documentation and purchased parts reciepts as well. 240 is 98% rust free and really only has an issue with the drivers side frame, I treated it and is no longer has rust but has a remaining hole in one paticular spot that will need to be patched if you get real serious about drifting and saftey, however this beatiful 240 is still drive able. I daily drive this 240, and would trust it going cross country cruising and state to state driving. I am only giving a rough up on Interior, Exterior, and overall view of my car... would want to do suspension work and buy coilovers next...

pm me if you have further intrest...

Id say all in alll I bought the 240sx fo $1.500 cash and invested and how would you say restored it back to life with a low pro style investment and taste of around $7.000 so with consideration of the price gap and differences and what not I would be willing to possibly top it with and additional $1.500 cash

Idk just let me know what you think and maybe we can start with meeting up to speculate eachothers rides and take it from there...

[DALAZ_68]

a while back i had an utterly complete s14 5 spd swap, everything and anything u needed was included, my price, 600 firm...

the lowball offer i recieved was 150, FOR EVERYTHING...his response

"cmon dont lie, its from an s13, and im pretty sure its above 200k miles"

my response
*pic of odometer, Pic of sensor on the bellhousing of included tranny,Pic of car*

seriously, i dont bullshit people, my reviews and feedback speak for themselves...fucking idiot...

[ManoNegra]

^that's a good one...

few years ago I was trying to get rid of 95 KA in running condition
but with the typical chain rattle and ~150k miles on it
was asking $100 and people still wanted it for a third of that
one potential buyer in San Diego called me the day he was going pick
up saying that he didn't have a truck or cherry picker and if that I would
deliver it for the same price.

recently I had miscellaneous S14 bits for sale after my kouki conversion
was selling clear turn signals for ~$35 shipped and had a buyer
I asked him to throw a few bucks for paypal
and got a response back saying that these were $30 new and that
he was just doing me a favor and shouldn't have to pay the paypal fee
so I told him to buy the new ones and I proceeded to throw the ones I had in the trash

I have more than enough cash in the bank and will thoroughly lowball a person 100 to 150 off their asking price.

and you think to yourself fuck hes lucky.

well theres your shot to make a bargain.



Ok there is more than meets the eye to people who get bargains. Its not because the people are lowballers per se.

If you think that the key is just lowballing everyone you will get told off by a lot of sellers and be viewed as a cheap skate.

Buying and selling is a talent. People who do routinely get the good deal know to pick and chose their battles. I.E. they do not run around lowballing everyone thinking that is the way to get the deal.

In fact they sometimes pay the asking price because its already worth it and trying to shoot the person done from there would be rude.

The other part of it is routing out the deal. I.E. searching it, going out and finding it. Not sitting back at their computer just playing scatter shot price shooting.

To many punks on this forum have no ability to buy and sell, yet they want the shit cheap without doing the footwork. Therein is the problem with what you wrote above.

[ninja_star]

I didn't feel like explaining myself. I dont buy/re sell but my best friend gets about 2-3k a month doing it (cough hungryhank cough)

[drift freaq]

I didn't feel like explaining myself. I dont buy/re sell but my best friend gets about 2-3k a month doing it (cough hungryhank cough)

Ya but you made the post that elicited the response. Oh and so your friend can do it and may have talent at it. It does not automatically mean you can do it.

Plus your attitude of automatically knocking off the the top of anyone's asking price? Its amateurish in the game.

Like I said before you need to know when to pick the battle. Gauging if someone will accept an offer or not is part of that. I think by your statements thats completely lost on you.

Oh and just to clarify you are the classic example of what we are talking about in this thread. You lowball without knowing how or when.

This thread is talking about the fact that the average lowballer is a clueless fuck who could not buy and sell his way out of paper bag.

He just wants an insane deal, because he may or may not get jealous of others getting deals that he can't seem to get, and wants something for free.

The result he lowballs everyone just like you yourself stated. That is the definition of a lowballer and you my friend have identified yourself as one.

Oh and don't take offense from this post, because you were the one that went and started it all with your initial post. You have no one to blame for being targeted but yourself. You brought it upon yourself.

[ninja_star]

I am a lowballer / cheap skate

Well I at least congratulate you for admitting it. LOL.

[godrifttoday]

haha now im cheap lol, i try to get a lower price anytime i come to the conclusion its a fair deal, i want a good deal and if it is a good deal i dont mind paying the asking price only when i have other comperables, for example i just bought a ka24de from one of the members here like month ago he wanted 100 for running motor and tranny (auto) that was a great! deal i paid him 100 did not even offer for less, i know they usually sell for 3 times that! i paid asking price because its a very good deal not just a fair deal

[flip3d]

tried selling my S13 6 months ago for $6k obo

S13 SR, FMIC, greddy oil pan, 3'' downpipe/apexi gt spec exhaust, tein tension rods, cusco coils, tanabe sways, 5-lug, Q45 brakes, R32 wheels, 1-piece steel driveshaft, 180SX vlsd w/5 bolt axles, spec flywheel/stage 3 clutch, 180 tails... shit ton more mods. paint was shit. primered spots so it wouldnt rust during its first winter in MO.

some dude was like I'll give you $2000 since the paint looks like crap and has a rebuilt title.

you could part my car out for way more than that.

[snoopy1]

what is worse is when people think that they can try to negotiate the cost of labor wtf are they thinkin now that its done its not worth as much sorry bro. i know how to file a labor lien and wont hesitate to own ur ride negotiate ur price before hand dummy!!! or when they have sumthin u want its golden but when u have what they want its just junk u dont need it

[MrMcgarrett]

i don't understand you were selling a tranny for 350? and the guy offered you 150 which what i see 5 speed ka tranny's going for. unless i'm thinking of something else?

I think he was selling the trans and all the other parts to swap from auto to manual.

[HyperTek]

can we post the screen names of the people who low ball us? those people need to be on blast! lmao

[Manuelitoohno]

can we post the screen names of the people who low ball us? those people need to be on blast! lmao

that be half the people here. everyone makes an offer that to us wont seem lowball but to the guy selling might be.

theres no right or wrong like there is with the shop reviews.

[singlecamslam]

I'll post my screen name, i admit i lowball people, but not stupid ridiculous offers like thousands off the original price, never know seller might agree and you save some money.

[DataXUnknown]

I'll post my screen name, i admit i lowball people, but not stupid ridiculous offers like thousands off the original price, never know seller might agree and you save some money.

I do the same thing. You are definetly right about this.

If I don't have a lot of money, then I can't help it if I want something so bad it's worth a shot to offer what you have. Otherwise if I have more than enough money to buy something, I usually will pay the asking price with no negotiation.

I've never been really lowballed at all, mostly because I don't sell expensive shit.

[punghouse]

I was offered $4000 for a Jdm S15. i guess it karma for low ballin people, but its buisness. if you dont like a offer dont take it fuck themL : D

[drift freaq]

whats also bad is the guys( I will refrain from stating names at this point) that put links to other peoples dirt cheap for sale threads in your for sale thread. Trying to prove something and they do not even want to buy.

Then when you call them on it they try to apologize, but try to justify their actions none the less. Its like fuck you were wrong to do it. Apologize, do not try to justify it and shut the fuck up. Otherwise your full of shit.

Oh and hypertek I am fully down for putting these assholes on blast.

[VQMaxFan]

lol @ the 300 dollar wheels line.

Its either they are stolen or the person doesnt know what they have. And usually you can tell if its either or when you talk to them on the phone or meet em in person.

[wiggafly808]

never know seller might agree and you save some money.

I was selling a 93 honda accord parts car for $300, running and driving but back taxed

Some guy called me up and offered $100, i told him whatever, come and get it

A couple days later he offers $50, i gave it to him because i just wanted it gone.

[godrifttoday]

i forgot who mentioned it but they said something like if u get a low ball offer just accept it, arrange to meet the person some where and never show up lol hahahaha that is funny

[sevenstar]

well some guy on craigslist posted a good compression sr for sale, but he had it out of the car, claims "it was in the car but i need the money so i am selling it" so i went over to look at it, brought a air compressor, a leakdown tester gauage thing, and was like sure let me test the compression, and he was like ok but its not able to run. it read 150-150-40-60 and i was like wtf dood this motor's shot, you need to pay me for wasting my time

curios were to u hook up the compressor? never tried this method?

[lowNslow]

LOL you guys HAVE to see some of the lowballers here out in Yuma AZ. I was selling a clean 97 civic coupe with a clean title, a y8 motor with 50k (had papers and the speedo to prove it), an apexi n1 exhaust, slammed on megan coilovers and rotas. i was sellin it for 3k firm. Literally i had e-mails and texts daily with offers of 1k, a busted ass primered crx, a mini van. Nobody lowballs like the honda guys.

[deolio]

it's not always the buyer's fault for lowballing. sometimes sellers have no idea what the hell they're selling. like fd owners trying to sell their cars with 80k and no rebuild for $14k. personally, i'd rather wait for a seller to drop their price to a number i like before offering some bullshit number. and of corse there are the times when you ask the seller "what's the lowest you'll go" and they reply, "what do you think is reasonable?" that's just asking to get lowballed for being such a pussy. sellers gotta say their price is FIRM, not OBO.

[HYPNOTIK]

I took my Fujitsubo Titanium exhaust to upgarage, it cost $1800 new. Upgarage offered me 8000Yen($80).

[blackoutt]

$15K invested. Listed for $6000, got offered $2000 by a used car dealer. No saled it at an auction he was at for $3500 and laughed in his face. Ended up selling for $5500, and the buyer thought it was a steal.

VERY TRUE! if u could why not right?

[hostyS 14]

Was selling my turbo'd crx. Had been waiting at home and cancelled plans for this douchefag to show up.

So he calls and this is what proceeds
me-hello?
him-hey man, does the car have power steering?
me- no, its a crx..
him- k thanks (hangsup)

piss off!

[driven_]

kid's mom offered me 1900 for my S14 when i listed it for 2900.

she told me a stock exhaust + warranty = $800.

told her i'd put one in for free, and she can give me $2700.

fuck her. :(

i hate flakers. especially when the flaker is the seller. >_<

[Stayka]

I had listed my rims on craigslist at $750 or accepting trades with cash on end.

I had someone email me with an offer of a new PS3 slim elite with some cash on end and told me to text him. I was interested and thought the PS3 with $400 my way was doable.

So I text him. He offers the PS3 and $200. Okay sounds good. Then he ask, "Is this for the whole car?"

So in short...
SOMEONE OFFERED ME A PS3 FOR MY WHOLE CAR BEAT THAT

[AE_Racer]

Was selling my 1jz mk3 supra for $3k. Drove all the way to miami to sell it(6 hours or so), kid drives it, loves it. His mom offers me 2k because it needed a brake job, gas door and a few other small things. Wtf! $3k is already stupid cheap for a 1jz supra. I ended up getting the 3k, after the 2k offer I said I was going back home.

You drove six hours and they had the balls to offer you $1K less then what you were asking?! Was the price not set before the long trek?

[nathanong87]

man that sucks. if i coulda gotten my rims sold, i would jump on those. of course i'd offer more than 1050, unless the specs are crap.

what were the sizes btw?

they were from my integra, but 1050$ for mint diamond black TEs w/tires.... i still think that's a pretty good deal and at the time i just said....F it. he's the only guy that is bringing cash to the table.

when i met up with him, he says.... "1050 is alot, as my friend bought some TEs for like 800$...." i was about to drive home after he said that. He then said...1050 is cool. i was like. gee sus.

[cemtoes]

Some dude in all seriousness offered me $4,000 for my full built sr powered hatch because the oil seals on the turbo where blown. I originally was asking $10,500 because of the fully built motor, suspension, 2 bride buckets, custom 12pt cage, bn sports aero and work miesters.

[I LUV MY S13]

damn there some stupid offers here makes mine seem like nothing

was selling mint condition door panels for $45, some kid here offered $15 plus a hello kitty cupholder...haha, im not into that hello kitty shit!

[Slidin' Sam]

I think I am gonna start quoting this thread every time I make a for sale thread. I am sick of the lowballers I get every day, or the people who just stop talking to you and never send the promised paypal money. Thanks for this thread guys!

4k is too low, but you cant expect buyers to pay your debt for you.

my buddy tried to make all his money back after dumping 10k into a civic. no ones going to pay 10k for a 90's civic no matter whats done to it.


and fuck "whats the lowest youll go?"

people get you to commit to a low price on phone, then show up with even less money. or flake after you took off for the day

lmao!that honda needs a tittie reduction on its hood,what a fail

[secondtonone317]

Ya I can't even begin to list all the super silly lowball offers I have thrown at me on cars and parts.

I think the best is when you are selling something for $30 and they tell you they will give you $15 shipped, cause usually the item will cost $15 to ship. so its like your just giving it to them.
this is funny but I can't count how many times I did this just to clear up space

[secondtonone317]

No whats worse is what happened to me. I called this guy in San Diego with a car for sale. I told him I was coming from Los Angeles and was leaving to come look at it. He said ok. So I leave and cruise down there its a good hour and a half drive close to 2 hours.

Anyways, I am like 3 miles from the exit and I see the exit sign so I give him a ring on my cell. Me.... "Hey I am just about at your exit I will see you in 5 minutes", Him..... "oh don't bother coming down I just sold the car"! I was so pissed, I started cussing his ass out lol.
I was like, fuck you, I came all the way from LA and you knew I was coming down and you just went and sold it without even waiting, or calling me to tell me you were not going to wait? He fucking hung the phone up, I called his phone back and left one nasty ass message on his voice mail.
It was some fucked up shit on his part.

Thank god I was also going to pick up a trans down there so the trip was not all for lost.

no offense bro but....I think anyone on here would have taken a sale over the "I'm coning to look at it"

[5pecialist]

Carmax offered me $11k for a 6 month old $23k car... and kept calling me back to see if I wanted to do the deal soon. FAIL

[godrifttoday]

We live in a capitalistic country!!!!

[jacobs13]

i had a greddy turbo for sale for 1700 and a guy said I will pick it up today for 200

[RS76]

Not to be rude, but A lot of people on this forum seem to think that putting Tein coilovers and knockoff seats and rims makes the car work 6k-10k..

A lot of what has been posted in this forum seemed to be a fair price. Modding a car has very little effect to a cars value. Do not go asking 10k for a beat ass 240sx with volks and brides... Take them out and put the stock shit back on. You will get a lot more $$ with parting. Just my 2cents, you dont need to reply :P

[NoPistons!]

Some of you guys saw the busted ass s14 someone tried to trade for my car with my decent fitting wheels, lots of legit $$$ parts and work too.

He also did not want to "keep our own wheels".


Someone offered me a wii for a fiberglass racing bucket sparco knock i had selling bnib which was a fair trade except my add said "CASH ONLY. Will only trade for oem rx7 turbo parts (listed the parts....), a bee racing rev limiter or 17 inch tires. NOTHING ELSE.

Someone offered me a probably fucked laptop for a set of wheels i was selling when i said "CASH ONLY. NO TRADES" Granted they were some jank motegi mr7's, i wanted money. Ended up trading for a kickass amp and subs almost new which i sold for half of what they were worth.

Someone lowballed me $100 shipped for a REAL re-amemiya super racing 2 way lsd. I wanted $500obo. Sold for $375 to a cool dude i look up to. $100. Fuck. I told the guy "I have a welded i'll sell you for that much. You pick it up though."

I've been offered civics, integras and a bunch of other fwd crap you can find a million of in most big towns for my rx7. After that, i decided i'm not selling my project or trading it. I'll be keeping it until i total it or get that offer i can't refuse because the party wanting the vehicle REALLY, REALLY wants it and knows what it is.

[NoPistons!]

I've gotten the kelly blue book thing several times.

I shake my head. I NEVER use that as a buy weapon. When people do that shit to me over the phone or via email i hang up/cut off contact right then. I know you're going to take a loss sometimes with parts/cars but do not try to use bullshit standards to cheat/rob me out of my shit like i'm an idiot or something.

[grndpa]

i don't know if this is considered a low ball any who, so i was giving out a free bumper so this is what happen.

low baller:hey do you have that bumper
me:yes
low baller:when can i pick up
me:anytime is cool
low baller: ok! cool man
me: ...
then the lowballer or whatever you guys want to call him/her.
low baller: hey i wont be able to pick up can you deliver?
me: seriously?
low:yea its only 2 hrs away
me:ONLY 2 HRS
low:yea
so i ignore em an the rest of the week he would txt an call me saying hey man im really interested do you still have the bumper.asking the same q's.
an yea that's my storie.lol

[Corbic]

A few years ago I had a 96 Turbo Talon for sale. I wanted $3,500 for it. Car was mint with 135k on it.

Beyond the regular ATV trade request, some dumbass actually called me and wasted a good 10 minutes asking questions only to then ask if he could trade me his "competition bmx bike and $500, then in a month he could give me another $1,000 that his mom would give him for his B-day".

:cj:


Worst two days of my life, Craigslist is a POS crap when selling, I got +100 emails, a dozen worthless calls. The guy that finally bought it did it the old fashion way, saw the for sale sign in the window, gave me cash and off he went.
