Strangest sales pitch made for your Charger.............>>>>

[Johnny SixPack]

I took my "69 out for a nice long cruise yesterday, and when I stopped for fuel on the way home a guy who works the deli at the stop & go place walked out and made what has to be the weirdest sales pitch I've heard yet:

"I'd give an inch off my d**k for that car."

What do you say to an opening line like that?

Well, besides, "Sounds good, but I'd hate to leave you with nothin'".

Usually you just hear the old standard, "How much for the car?"

Like the guy who followed me to McDonalds last summer and asked me how much I wanted for my "70 right then and there.

The scary part was he didn't seem shocked when I said, "1 million dollars and it's yours."

Anyways, it got me to thinking about strange offers others have gotten for their Chargers.

Let's hear 'em folks.

Only had one since it sits in the garage most times, some guy offered his motorcycle but it was a honda 1100cc or something. I told the guy I wouldn't trade for a bike as I don't ride plus its an import. Funny stuff because that bike couldn't have been worth more than $1500 but I guess you can't blame someone from trying to get a deal.

[dodgecharger-fan]

While my Charger was in the shop for it's major metal surgery, the shop owner was told to offer me $10K.

While that's not so interesting in and of itslef. It is interesting when you consider what stage the car was in.

It was somehwere between this


and this



Not a question was asked about the rest of the car....

[Chargen69]

I had a lady about 65 years old run me down in a beat up FURD pickup to let me know that my car was the exact color combo she used to have, and get this, she could make payments to me if I would sell.

Can you say NO, not only NO but "you know what" NO

[4402tuff4u]

That happen to me too. A guy that collects cars and has his cars maintained at the shop where my Charger is being restored asked the owner for my phone number to see if my Charger was for sale. Kevin the owner of the shop told him that he doubt it and he would ask me. I told him not to give him my number. If he really wanted the Charger he would name his price or make it a point to meet me there. I'm there often every week, same day. He was just fishing for a deal.

My parts car sits in my parent's barn which is open on the side towards the road. I have had about 5 or 6 people stop over the past year and ask if I would be willing to sell it. What sucks is when I say "Yes" and show them the car they usually run away screaming....

[Charger_Fan]

I haven't had one person ask to buy my car in over 13 years!
I'm sure that because it's only seen the light of day for maybe 3 weeks total in that whole time, could have something to do with it.

[BigBlockSam]

i chased the guy with  my 68 r/t  into a deli and offered him a  Harley sportster for the car. he said no but i would take
$6800 for it. after some discussion on the price it was mine.    that was a real good day. Rene

[TK73]

Hell, I'm waiting for an offer...

[my73charger]

I had a guy approach me at a gas station once.  He's like, "How much you want for it?"  I told him not for sale.  He looked like I just slapped him or something...he acted shocked that I said it.

[BigBlockSam]

...he acted shocked that I said it. 

people don't realize what these cars mean to us

A guy drove up to meonce in a grocery store parking lot and offered a straight up trade for his 1971 Mach 1 (white over black, 351 Cleveland with a 4-speed, both non-original).   Nice car.  Thanks but no thanks, said I.

Lately, it's not what gets offered, but the quantity of offers.  It seems that most times when it's not in the garage, the car generates at least one offer.   I guess it must have been that movie from last summer.

Most folks seem surpised that I won't at least take their phone number - in case I change my mind.  Great question, Johnny.

Peace,

Neal

Very true.

[Old Moparz]

My Charger has been hidden under toys & junk in my garage, so it's not visible to anyone. (You'd have to trespass to get close enough to see it anyway.) I've had notes left on my Satellite convertible, but I just throw them away since it isn't for sale. No offers, just a lot of deal hunters thinking the ratty old convertible in primer will be a steal.

Maybe when the Road Runner sees some pavement this season I'll have some goofy offer stories.  

[volk68]

I had my 68 down at the tire shop getting aligned and somebody dropped by to ask the shop owner if my car was for sale.  Both my truck and my charger have gotten a lot of comments, though.  Surprisingly, my truck has gotten more than my Charger so far....

[TheGhost]

Hell, I'm waiting for an offer...

$5 dollars and a coupon for a free Whopper at McDonalds?


No strange offers here, but I have gotten a few.  Most people see me, and the condition of the car, and think that they can get a steal.

[greenpigs]

[quote$5 dollars and a coupon for a free Whopper at McDonalds?]

The Whopper is from Burger King junior.

[MyMopar]

 I guess it must have been that movie from last summer.

Movie?  What movie? 

I think anyone here that takes there Charger out will get an offer these days, no matter what condition.  The worse the condition, the more shocked a person is when you say not for sale (deal hunters).  The better the condition, the more insults you get from the offers, IMO.
The one time I drove my car to my moms for a visit (she wasn't home) I had 3 offers.  2 on a piece of paper under the windshield wiper (I hate that) and 1 on a napkin in the door handle (hate that too).  NoOw my car is by no means as nice as half the members here( but it still runs and drives good  ), but it will be.  Then I will really have to keep an eye out becuase I feel that instead of people leaving me offers, they will just leave with my car 
Good topic, we will have to revisit it when the "winter" states warm up and everyone is out and about.

I'll see your $5 and raise you five

PLUS

I'll throw in a happy meal WITH the toy for TK's Charger

after this thread I just found out what my license plate is going to say:

NT4SALE or 2MUCH4U

[dd44068]

Hey RD thats the best thing i saw in a while

[RAWPWR]

Back in 85 I bought a 68 with a 383 for $600.00. brought it my parents and washed it on the front lawn.. As it was drying I sold it for $2500.00. I needed work, but the guy claimed it was just like the one he had in high school..he was happy..I was happy

Now Johnny... Did you give him a "come hither" look?...   

Sorry man, I couldn't resist............

[Khyron]

I've never gotten any odd offers, but I have gotten offers, some I'm embarrassed to say out loud. Not sure if they were serious, but there were some high offers on the old girl.

Him = "How much you want for that?"
Me = *walks around the car looking at it them looking at guy who made offer* 
Him = "You loose something?"
Me = " yeah, apparently I can't see the for sale sign" 
Him = 

The oddest thing that happened was I got yelled at by an old lady once when I was at a gas station filling up, "How can you drive a car like that with the gas crisis!" 

I just blinked at her in shock....... Then layed a 10 foot patch when I left
