I had not thought that the qualifications for conditions would vary from location to location, but all things being equal, I would not expect cars to have the exact same values across the country.
List-Alert notified me of a new post. I wish that it could recognize reposts. This guy is asking more than any other one that I have considered. It is stock except for "6000k HID lights tinted windows." Well, I paid $200 for a tint on my Forester that I never received. You would think that they would absorb the sunlight, but they are supposed to help keep the car cooler.
They do have the original wheels, unlike the previous ones that I have seen. I still have the cash from the last one and since it has been for sale for at least two weeks, maybe he will come down, although maybe he or she will not and that is why it is still for sale.
So, I was planning on offering the cash. That would at least give me a negotiation point.
Either I need to spend a day or two working on my car to sell, or I need to ask much less. Do you think that it would be fair to ask ten or fifteen percent above Blue Book to leave room for negotiation?
