Well I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but damn am I irritated with hagglers.
People keep offering my crap deals thinking I'm going to go for it. I'm asking 2500 for my car, right?
Runs and drives, searched all of the Austin area for another in that price range and in as good as condition and there aren't any!
Well this guy texts me offering his 4 banger foxbody that looks terrible but drives okay, and some gt40 heads. I made the mistake of telling him I'm 18 (I was explaining why I couldn't take his foxbody in a trade). So he goes and sells his foxbody.
He comes back to me with 800 dollars, and the gt40 heads and gives me a bull crap story about his 'fresh' heads being worth 550 dollars. He goes on about how they aren't Ps and don't require special headers, and says something about Xs. Literally trying to 'confuse' me into thinking I don't know what I'm talking about.
He was saying that he had a grand total of 1350 dollars worth of stuff. Over a grand below my asking. And truthfully he didn't even have 1350 with the cash and heads since they're only worth 300.
These heads were regular gt40 heads, no valve job, no work, no porting, nothing. Just heads fresh off a ford explorer with who knows how many miles.
I think my electrical work, parts scavenging, time, and effort is worth 2500 for this
People keep asking if I will take 2000, and pay the 300 for the title, ultimately selling the car for 1700. I would have to be an idiot to take that deal, and for whatever reason, they think I am.

Being an honest person, letting people test drive the car and having good communications skills just isn't enough for them, I swear.
Sorry this post is a bit unorganized. But, maybe I'll get better offers going into tax season. and I'm not trying to sell the thing through here or anything, just wanted to vent.
