So, what are you waiting for?
Just a year ago that price would have been about $3,000 too high. What with the Z-price insanity now, he will get this asking price.
New paint, new carpets and new seats could mean a flood car, a mudslide car, or a car left open in the barn as a target ship for pigeons and bats for 16 years.
In the past I have seen some which were marketed as Anniversary Editions or Black Pearls, when they actually were re-painted garden-variety street cars. "Originally" a California car doesn't tell me if it was moved to Louisianna before or after Katrina and Rita. Also, I distrust any car salesman who spells American English like a Brit or a Spaniard. Nothing racial, they just don't tend to share the same market values as Americans do.
All that being said, this 10th anniversary edition (if that's what it was originally) is being offered at precisely the correct market time to bring high bucks. I would like to check the VIN to ensure it wasn't a repainted 1978, disguised as an '80 for higher sales value.
If it was such a great car, why couldn't they sell it for that price locally? Everybody wants a Z today, and especially as the Post-Covid springtime arrives. There are some incredibly good deals occasionally (Howie stumbled into a great one by bind luck), but they are few and far between.
Forgive my skepticism.
Or not!
