Well, I'm bored so I decided to share this story.. About 6 months ago I was parting out my car.. I had tons of aftermarket parts for sale. I had a set of 350z H tech springs for sale on craigslist and this guy pulls up in a silver 04 G sedan.. He buys my springs and of course I always start chit chatting up the car and how they got into it blah blah blah..

Well apparently this guy bought his G from an auction for only $3,200.. It's clean title and it decent condition.. Only problems were with the windows and it had around 110K miles..

It's sad to see how cheap these cars are going for these days.

 

Unless that dude showed me a carfax, I'd just chalk it up to BS conversation topic.

 

I have a story too....a buddy of mine sold a 1954 Russian SKS, numbers matching, about six months ago for about $900...the gun was in perfect condition...other guns in perfect condition are going for less than $400....I chalk that up to a fluke, just in the opposite direction...just like him buying his car, if he did in fact buy it for that cheap. Gs are not going for that cheap. I don't think you could even buy a wrecked 04 for that cheap.

 

Well why would someone lie about that? He had his buddy there too who was also saying he was there and looked at his friend saying "I hate you, damn lucky bastard"

 

I picked up an 04 Mercedes Benz E500 with 73k miles on it in November for 6500. Economy+nobody at the auctions=win

 

You generally do not get full value from a car at auction, unless you are at a specialty auction that brings collectors. He probably bought it after it was repo'd at an auction where there wasn't much interest.

 

And of course, none of us has ever backed up a buddy's BS story when he was stringing someone along....

 

^ Yeah I am not so sure I totally believe this story.. But that would be a great price.

 

Dude. an 03 G Sedan with 180k at action with no Navi sold at my auction for 6500... THey are not going that cheap

 

6500 is cheap IMO.. I still don't know why he would lie.. Its not like I give a **** or two.. Its just a wow. wtf? factor.. Oh well though hahaha

 

Was his name Tommy Flanagan? Probably also built an airplane, flew it on butane. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket....

 

I saw a black 6MT sedan here locally for $4K a few months ago. It had about 160K on it.
