  6. Need car selling advice

    in Passing Lane

    Posted

    Thanks for all of the suggestions so far. I have edited my listing as follows:

     

    The time has come for me to move on. I have something else in mind, so I need to sell my car first.

     

    99 Trans Am, 6 spd, Ttops, 70,000 miles, stock motor, SLP Lid, K&N Filter

     

    The Good:

    Pro 5.0 short throw shifter

    Trans rebuilt 3 years ago by 6 speed inc

    LS7 clutch kit with 02+ slave and remote bleeder

    Off-road y pipe, Bassani 3" cat back with cut-out

    BMR strut tower brace

    Double Adjustable panhard bar

    Interior is ok. No cracks in the dash or the doors. No rips in the seats.

    I replaced both window motors 4 years ago.

     

     

    The Bad:

    Paint has some scratches here and there, but nothing really all that major. The sail panel has the notorious paint bubbles.

    Very slow pinion seal leak.

    The horn doesn't work.

    Driver side headlight motor makes grinding noise when it goes up, but does work.

    High beams don't work. A small lever needs reconnected in the column.

     

     

    Asking $9,500 OBO

    Looking for some good constructive feedback. I've been trying to sell my car for a while, but I'm not getting any hits. I don't know why, so I'm looking for help. I don't know what else to do.

     

    What is it about my car and/or my ad that is deterring people from it? I'm really not getting any hits on it. Is it something about the car? Is it priced to high? Is it because a couple things need fixed? All of the above?

    What should I do differently?

     

    This is how I have it listed:

     

    The time has come for me to move on. I have something else in mind, so I need to sell my car first.

     

    99 Trans Am

    Almost 70,000 miles

    Motor is stock

    SLP Lid

    K&N Filter

    Ttops (no shades)

    6 speed

    Stock rear with stock 3.42 gears

    Pro 5.0 short throw shifter

    Trans rebuilt 3 years ago by 6 speed inc with a stage 1A rebuild will hold up to 700hp

    LS7 clutch kit with 02+ slave and one-man remote bleeder

    Stock manifolds to off-road y pipe to Bassani 3" cat back with cut-out

    BMR strut tower brace

    Double Adjustable panhard bar

    Vette wheels with polished lip

    I can't remember size of tires right off-hand, but can get it later

    Tires have maybe 50% tread left

    Interior is ok. No cracks in the dash or the doors. Seats show wear, but no rips. The driver side floormat is pretty worn.

    Paint shows swirl marks, some scratches here and there, but nothing really all that major. The sail panel has the notorious paint bubbles.

    I have the Haynes manual, front license plate cover, and an extra console that will come with the car.

    The only leak is the well known pinion seal leak. It's a very slow leak. I just keep a pan under that area and check the level a couple times a year.

    I replaced both window motors 4 years ago.

    The horn doesn't work. Not sure why. The horns themselves do work when connected to the battery. The fuse and relay are fine. I think it's in the steering wheel.

    Drive side headlight motor needs replaced. The headlight does go up, but the gear is stripped and makes a loud grinding noise for a few seconds (only when the headlight goes up)

    Turn signal switch needs fixed. The turn signals work, just can't switch to high beams.

    I think that pretty much covers it. Any questions, just ask.

    The ones at Creekside Parkway and Alum Creek must be broken. Every night after I leave work, I sit on Creekside for at least 10 minutes waiting to turn left onto Alum Creek. There's been a few times I've thought about just going, but I don't. I just sit and wait. It's so frustrating.

  15. With all this talk of divorce latley....

    I was married once. We were together for almost two years before we got married and had lived together for a year. After a year of marriage, she walked out and had her family move her stuff out the next day. I received an anonymous phone call a couple months later that she had been seeing someone. Nice, huh? We did a dissolution, and I got to keep my stuff. :)

    I kept saying I was not going to get married again. I was positive I would not fall into that trap again. However, I have met someone that makes me extremely happy, we get along great, never argue and we are getting married next spring. If this one doesn't work out, I am done for sure.

    My Dad has asked me to find a Kindle for my niece, his grand daughter. The only thing we know about them is 3 gens, one or more has 3g, maybe wifi, and one is 9in instead of 6.

     

    So, firstly, anyone selling one?

     

    Secondly, any input from current owners? Is the 3g really free? How can they do that? Are you limited to what sites you can browse? Bigger screen better? Worse?

     

    Thanks

     

     

    I have a Wifi one I'd like to sell. PM me for details.

    Another update from Hamilton Parker:

     

    Bright color glazes are soft in comparison to earth tone color glazes. The factories recommend that you use them for residential bathroom floors or on the wall.

    The glaze can scratch and if its used somewhere like in front of a kitchen countertop where people pivot there feet to turn and walk away from the counter it will eventually start wearing the glaze off the surface of the tile.

    1”x1” Red glass mosaics that come mounted on 12”x12” sheets is what we used in our showroom floor for our O.S.U. logo we installed. its been down for ten years and has no signs of any wear on it.

    In your basement floor there shouldn’t be allot dirt from shoes getting ground into the surface of it to damage it.

    Red glaze requires lead in it to get it to bond to the body of the tile and is considered to be a hazardous chemical before its fired. none of the factories in the U.S. will make it because of our environmental laws on how you dispose of hazardous waste.

    All bright red tiles are produced in other countries and come with a premium price over all other colors of tile.

    Response from Hamilton Parker:

     

    We have a couple of manufacturers that make a 12x12 red tile. red glaze like all other bright colors carry a low traffic rating. be careful not to use them in the main traffic area of the floor.

     

    Back to square 1. Ugh.
