If you were selling your Charger...

[Ghoste]

who would you NOT sell it to?  Or is there anyone?  And I know there are some obvious ones but are there some not so obvious ones?

[charger_fan_4ever]

You mean like your best friend ect ?

When selling a car sometimes I just get rubbed the wrong way. Don't know the guy from a hole in the ground, but some just give me that instant feeling instead of negotiating how about i add 30% so you leave.

If i have put firm on price in the ad and i get someone that shows up and thinks he knows the car better than i do and offers $1000 less I usually say how about I add $1000 to the price and then i'll come down a $1000 will that make you feel better ?

[DC_1]

Warner Brothers.....

[chargerboy69]

I would not sell it to a studio working on a new Dukes of Hazzard movie.

Nothing against being painted like the General, just do not want to see it jumped 50 yards.

[Cooter]

Bottom line is when something's for sale, you are offering it to the highest bidder. Sure you hate to see it "jumped", Crashed, torn up, etc., but in the end, you agreed on a price and if there's enough money, you WILL sell it to anybody.


Only thing that bothers me about selling mine is the fact that I might have to see it being driven around by someone else if bought nearby. Would be hard, but not impossible.

[bill440rt]

Great topic, Ghoste.
The new owner would really be free to do whatever they wanted with it, after all it would be their car now.
Having said that...
I would really hope that if the day ever came the next owner would just appreciate & care for the car the way I do.

Last car I sold was my daily driver PT Cruiser. I kept it very nice & clean, but I really didn't care where it went next. Turned out a friend of mine bought it from me. I was open & honest about what it needed, and what had been done to it maintenance-wise. He appreciated that I took good care of it. I saw it last night, he keeps it super-clean & it actually looked better than when I sold it to him.

[GordonGriggs]

Take the highest bid. I tried to be nice and practically gave  my 68 Charger 10 years ago to my neighbor who wanted it for years. He kept it a few weeks then sold it and bragged about how much money he made from it.
Not long after that I gave away FREE a 67 dodge charger that was about 65% complete. I told they guy I gave it too I would like to know how progress was going on the car. I never heard from him again.
 

[Kern Dog]

Gordon, you are a nice man. Don't let the world turn you cynical. Keep the faith.

[Daytona R/T SE]

As far as selling cars and parts...

I'm getting to the point where I'm about to say:

Insure it and burn it.

Too many assholes out there think their name is Rick Harrison and the world is their pawn shop.

[Fred]

Don't really care as long as my price is met AND I DON'T EVER HAVE TO SEE IT AGAIN.
The wife sold her pristine corvette to someone local so she still sees it on occasion and it hurts her every time. It's not being looked after, the interior in particular is looking pretty ratty now.

I agree if my price is met then fine take it then do what you want with it....unless we have an emotional contract involved.

[Patronus]

AND I DON'T EVER HAVE TO SEE IT AGAIN

I agree, it would be like running into that old sexy girlfriend..

[Ghoste]

Would you sell it your boss?

[Dino]

As much as I would like the next owner to take care of the car it's none of my business what he or she does with it.  I'm with the others here though, I really don't want to see it again if I have to sell it.

I visited the previous owner of my car not long ago, it was a nice Saturday morning and he still had a few parts for me.  Nothing I really needed but he told me when he sold it that he'd love to see it from time to time so I figured I'd make him happy so I turned into his driveway with the Charger after cleaning it top to bottom.  He was very happy to see it again, looking better than when he sold it to me. 

[TUFCAT]

I'd like my car to be AT LEAST TWO states away.

[moparguy01]

some people just irk me. Low ballers are the worst. Like one of you said, too many saw pawn stars and think they're gonna get it for half price. Let me know how that works out for ya. I remember once i was selling a car, just a 76 dodge aspen /6 car, but it only had 34k on it. minimal rust, which was amazing considering it was a aspen. i wanted 800, because thats what the market would bear. a kid came up, said he'd take it and handed me a check.......for $300. i asked if he forgot the price was 800 then went into the bickering about how big of a pos it was, so i tore up the check. he came back later and said he'd give me 800. i told him his price was 2500 now. cause he's an ass. I sold the car a week later to a someone else for my asking price.

[nvrbdn]

wouldnt want to sell to any family. then they think there is a mechanic attached to the car for as long as they choose to own it.

[Dino]

Very true.  I 'sold' my old Ford to my sister when I left Europe.  By that time the car was 12 years old but in great shape and fully loaded.  Her 'mechanic' friend decided to repaint it though so it's now almost 6 years later, I never saw a dime and the car was taken by the police because the morons left it on the street without license plates and half the parts missing.   

[71charger_fan]

I would agree on a fair price with a friend of mine, then let him sell it through his shop for a commission. That would keep my emotions out of the equation when negotiating price. He'd know what I'd be willing to take but also know that the more of the asking price he got, the more he'd make.

[Old Moparz]

I wouldn't sell mine to halpag.

They'd smear it orange, yahoo it up in an ad with ALL CAPS, then trick the next person into thinking they sell unrusted & bondo free cars.

[Charger_Dart]

The last car I sold was my Challenger a few years ago. It went to Europe so I doubt I will ever see it again. For me that was the best way to let it go.
Took this pic as it was heading to the port. The buyer had to wait 4 months to see it....

I concur whole heartedly.....2 COUNTRIES would be even better!

Even if yours would travel that far, you'd still have all the merchandise rubbing it in!

[XS29L9Bxxxxxx]

...anyone out of the country

[UH60L]

Would you sell it your boss?

I would only sell it to my boss if I was gonna use the money to make sure he could never physically drive it or any other car ever again!!!!

(not that I have anything against my boss...he's a swell guy....        )

Not to mention any work related issues, he owns an old car or two, and he has money/hangs out with people who have money, and likes to rub it in your face when you run into him at a car show.  Very snooty etc.....

That's not possible in my case as it couldn't look any better than it does now.............Sadly it can only go down hill from here.

[Fred]

That's exactly the case with the wife's corvette. He lives down the street from us of all places and knows that I maintain all our cars myself so he takes advantage.

[AKcharger]

Would not sell to:
- Yoko Ono
- Boutros Boutros-Ghali
- Sean Penn
- Julian Assange
- Or Courtney Love

[Fred]

Lets face it, with the very rare exception of having to sell due to divorce or financial difficulties, more often than not we sell a car because w've had enough of it so it doesn't really matter what the next owner does with it.  If you cared that much about it...............you wouldn't sell.  

[Fred]

Would not sell to:

Yeah but they're the ones with the money and will more than likely pay your price if it's what they're after.

[hatersaurusrex]

I'm with Cooter, for enough money they could take it directly to the crusher for all I care.

That said, for the same money I'd get elsewhere, I'd rather not sell it to anyone whose plan for it would be to make a Donk out of it and paint it 'Godzilla's Ass Green' and put Skittles logos all over it.   I'd hold onto it first or even sell it at a small loss.

The good news is most of those types of car builders don't have the coin for a Charger.  They instead buy rustbomb 73 Impalas worth $1500 and then put 10K in the wheels, paint, and stereo while it still blows smoke from bad o-rings every time they take off from the stoplight.

Uh yeeeah...I say that with a dash of modesty as I didn't "pimp my ride" to the point that I could park it besides a lot of your guys' much finer cars.  I really wish I had taken it down to the unibody/frame and built it back up but that couldn't happen-at least not now.  Nevertheless, it's my perfectly flawed car and I love it to death.  Unfinished, I sprung it out of the body shop today because it's been 5 painstaking months and took it to a cruise/show.  I never thought I would live to see the day where I could drive up and down Grand Avenue with all of the other machines, seeing people's arms shoot up and then see a flash as they took a picture.  The ones that freaked me out were the people that practically jumped out in front of the car to get a shot as we rolled by.  With kids yelling and pointing, girls looking vaguely interested, looking our way, and people chatting my ear off before I could even get out of the car I can say that it's finally worth it.  

I'm still waiting on front side markers, bumper bolts, door lock knobs and lots of other little pieces to arrive and be installed.  I still don't have a console.  There's a nasty in-gear rattle I'm getting from the body I have to sort out.  I'm also planning to ship the car off AGAIN to a trusted service center for a complete rewiring (driving home without dash and tail lights and the occasional no-power-because-of-the-bulkhead-deal REALLY SUCKED).  The body shop wanted to keep the car and truly finish it but I just can't live without the car any more; I'll finish it myself.  Sell it?  My dear Lord perish the thought.  Now.  If I could just find a place to park it...

Enjoy that feeling while its new, be proud, but if you're anything like me, it will start to drive you crazy after a while.  People asking the same silly questions every show you go to or every place you stop.
I especially hate it when they start slowing down in front of you so that they can get a good look at it in their rear view mirrors. But I guess that's the price we lucky Charger owners have to pay and I guess it goes without saying that I'd put up with just about anything if it means I get to keep my prized possession.

Only thing that bothered me was the Fast & Furious crowd-every 4-banger with a Fart-Can wanted to run the car; yeah-on a packed Avenue with cars and people walking everywhere rev-jumping on another car is such a sensible thing to do.  Who let these d**kless f**ks into the car show anyway?

[Argos_Chargers]

I'm afraid I couldn't sell my '70.  I've told people that my wife will divorce me, I'll lose my house and I'll be living in the car while it rusts away around me before I consider selling it.

The '66 is another matter.  Before I sell it I would need to be pretty sure that the car would be cherished as much as I cherish it.

[Darkman]

I'd sooner crush it then sell it and have some other driver enjoy all my hard work.

Besides, who would want to buy a RHD Charger
