Ok, I do NOT want this one to descend into another Automotice Holy War between the import & domestic guys... It would be an update on my last thread, but that one was hijacked so badly it's unsalvageable. As you recall, I'm looking at 3 F-bodies, 2 97 Z28s and a 95 Trans Am. The cars have 70,000 (97 Green), 60,000 (97 Black) and 50,000 (T/A) mi respectively. Firm prices are $7695, $8700, and $7500. The 97 Black, which most of you who answered my poll reccommended, had the price go up $700 because a tire went out and the owner replaced them all. I got him to come down $1.1k. However, the tires are on 17" aftermarket rims that I'd rather not have, and unless E-bay is wrong, rims don't sell, and there's no way in hell I'll even get $700 for them (more like $150, new tires & all). Since the stock rims are 16", the new tires are useless to me. Also for sale would be a $400 Sony head unit, and a $200 MTX sub & box (prices are original retail). The stock stuff comes with the car too... The 97 Green car has a busted window switch & a burnt out light bulb in the radio. It's from a used car dealer, and he said he'd get that fixed prior to delivery. The 95 has a busted window motor, and the lowest milage... I like the black 97, but would rather stay at $8k or below. I really don't want any of the aftermarket crap, and would sell it if I got it (& if I could). I'm thinking I'll revise my offer to Mr 97 Black, and say $8 for the car, you keep the rims/tires/stereo stuff. If he says no, I don't know that 10k mi is worth an additional $1100. Then 97 Green... Any comments? Anyone know a good way to sell off unwanted rims & stuff? I have a feeling the head unit & sub might sell on e-bay, but I'm doubtful about the wheels...   (No T/A pic. It's silver, 1995)... |

Skip Ebay and post the rims on an F-body sight there are always kids looking for good deals on rims and tires. The NEW tires will make them more attractive if you price them right. The Contour guys used to sell rims and tires all the time. The WRX guys too.... They look OK in the picture, you sure they have to go??? The electronics will go on ebay fine. If your gut says otherwise, I would go with the Green one as a backup. Good luck!!!! I still like the black one better. |
