Delusional Charger sellers

[Kern Dog]

That seller is an uneducated asshole that should be sterilized and NOT allowed to vote.

[VegasCharger]

AM LOOKING FOR A TRADE I WOULD LIKE TO TRY A 68 CHARGER BUT IT HAS TO BE A VERY NICE ONE 440 RT

Yet your Charger is NOT very nice at least $45,000 nice. LMFAO 

Yea let me come over and have a conversation lol. Probably a bunch of screaming kids, barking dogs, yelling wife and a bunch of jacked up nosy neighbors.

After reading quite a few pages here, I think I did good with my 70.

Is  it wrong to want to flood his email and voicemail with low ball offers from the ENTIRE Dodge Charger forum membership to try a give him and other sellers like him a clue?  So to make sure I understand him correctly, he wants to take an unfinished 69 383 car that he probably can't afford to finish restoring and trade even up for a completely  restored 68 440RT charger correct?  Sounds like a great deal...for him lol

[Homerr]

willing to trade for a awesome shape 68 charger, lmao.....

This crazy bastard lives just a few miles from where I work.

and if that isn't bad enough, he's got a 68 sport satellite you can clone into a roadrunner: (and apparently make megabucks)

https://macon.craigslist.org/cto/5601536058.html

At least he has a motor to throw in with this one, but it is of questionable shape at best.  Has little or no rust--but there's a replacement floor pan just sitting in there, and it looks like the whole bottom half of the quarterpanel is gone. 

I don't know where these guys get these prices.  If they bothered to look at the cost of a few AMD replacement panels, they'd realize what it costs to restore a car in that kind of shape.  Frustrating, to say the least.

Too much watching Barrett Jackson is what I think causes this. I had one paint guy tell me my car would be worth $70,000 LOL

The price of the charger seems more out of sorts than the Plymouth. No dash (therefore no vin) is what makes it a parts car for me.

From the ad: I have a 1970 Dodge Charger no motor no trans no front clip no dash no seats good doors good fixer upper.

Sounds like a pretty simple little "fixer upper."

[Challenger340]

IMO, I dunno if all of these guys are THAT delusional or not ?
Granted,
many might be asking alotta dough for basically junk ? nonetheless, some recent "offers to purchase" I've witnessed on fine R/T examples, albeit still non-Hemi cars, and they are approaching six digits !
Canadian peso's mind you.... but still makes me think of starting a Delusional BUYER's thread !

[Mike DC]

 
If all the sellers are asking "too much", and all the buyers are paying "too much", and sales are happening . . then it's not too much anymore. It's the accurate value.   

That makes us the delusional ones for insisting they are all wrong. 

[ws23rt]

^^^ agree    The real delusion is that money has the value we feel or think it has.

The market place tells what the value of money is.

true that

[cbrestorations]

Ehh...I duno, there's a few cars on the market where they are just shooting for the moon on price because they saw one sell of the same year on Barret Jackson for 100k. But they are too dumb to realize that was a rare model and probably took 60k to get it to be worth 100k

[6spd68]

I'd have to agree...  I was even told that my 318 shell was worth 25K as it sits, and finished it would be worth over 65

Call that guy back and get that $25K!

Everybody has been saying this for years.  But that's just it - the big-time TV auctions have been going on since the early Bush/Cheney era.  This isn't a temporary thing.  We wouldn't call something a brief temporary inflation of prices if it had occurred from 1964-1976.


There is no law saying a project car's value must be low enough to make it a practical resto.  If project demand is high enough that 1/3rd-finished cars are selling for 2/3rds-finished prices, then so be it.  That's the accurate project value.

I have tested the waters many times to see what my car fetches on the market when I feel tired of the charger I want to sell and leave it up for 2 to 3 weeks.  I want to say NO WAY IN HELL those junkers r selling one bit which makes em delusional sellers. I sell my stuff pretty cheap and fair...at roughly 50 percent what I bought it for....I had no takers at 30k not even 20k on my car...sometimes I say I want to go get a house and uee charger as down payment and hell majority of folks want to give me 10k max.
Point of story is these sellers are delusional not the buyers. ...we tried to do a delusional buyers thread and it wasn't that good..........

"This vehicle has over $80,000 invested and was restored for a charity raffle and won by a elderly gentleman who elected cash instead of the car this vehicle"


Smart man I'd say.

When I say 1/3rd finished cars are worth 2/3rds finished prices, I'm talking about sub-$15,000 2nd-gens. 


People shopping with $20k+ are a different group of buyers looking for a different kind of car.

What, he didn't like the map pockets on the door panels.

Badges, we don't need any stinking badges.
