$16k, YEAH RIGHT!! My car is in better condition with 165,000 miles, and with mods and I'd ask $10k. I soon may be jumping ship guys!

Default Si! He is! ;)

Zero bids.

Who knows - someone might bite. People buy cars all the time without doing the proper research.

"Proper" is subjective, too. I researched these cars for a year before beginning an active search. That's a bit much.

Still, the guy has a $12k car there.

Default Yeah, I saw that, too.

In Greenwich, that car's a beater.

Sad, but true.

Default If he can afford to live there, he can afford to sell it for less too...

But, yeah $16k is crazy money.

Car is worth less than $10k. Looks like Maine plates on it (which isn't a bad thing), but I'd have some concern about rust.

Ebay cars with 4 crappy pictures and high asking price cracks me up. Needs to take some really nice hi-res pictures. I've sold a number of high end cars on Ebay, including a Ferrari. Full disclosure and pictures of everything is key.

Reminds me of one of my favorite sayings... "It's only worth, what someone is willing to pay."

Default I'd say you're close. Super low miles and pearl white are a huge plus.

Rough life is a minus. Stock may be a plus to many buyers looking at low mileage. I'd say $12-13K. $12k is the top selling through ebay.

Default Less than $10k for a low mileage 95.5? Perhaps he's not the only one hittin' the pipe - lol

I am always amzzed at how little value members of this forum put on low mileage. That's a 10k car with 120K on it.

Default 2nd. I'd say $11,500, and $11,000 for quick sale

$12k as a starting bid may be pushing it a bit, but &lt;100K adds quite a bit.

Default Not everyone.

I put a premium on low miles. But not a stupid premium.

I figure low miles, if it's significant, add a couple of grand. But if a car is track-only, and has 20k on the clock, that's a different beast than a 150k car that's had only highway miles.

Gotta look at the whole picture.
