Honda people I know your asking 3500$ firm but will you take 500$ today?
    It's all car people really, except for some certain makes/models.

    I was selling a E39 BMW, I had trade offers for Xbox 360s, $500, people come, see the issues that were LISTED, and get mad that they wasted their time, selling one of my E30s I had people offer to meet up, I'd drive to meet them, ends up being fifteen year old kids with their parents looking for a first car.

    There's morons everywhere, Honda owners for sure, not all, but enough that I won't ever buy a Honda again. Many BMW owners these days seem to be the same, just dress nicer and have wealthy parents. lol

    Yeah they are the same folks that get mad when its sold! Driving to look at cars is part of it I have driven all over the south east to look at cars only to walk away its part of it. The same people that want a 20+ year old car with low miles, perfect carfax all the records new tires cold a.c for under 500 bucks.

    I had a 94 ford explorer as a beater for over a year. Ran perfect 5 speed 90k miles everything worked had 4 brand new tires and was very clean inside and out. It was a gas hog but it was in very good condtion. I put it on craigslist for 1000$ firm which I felt was more then a fair price. I had a woman come drive it inspect everything on it for over a hour had a mechanic with her that could not find anything wrong with it. she shows me a kbb print out saying it was worth $850 and she refused to pay more then kbb for it. I said if you want it its 1000 bucks take it or leave it. she argued and bitched and moaned I told her to call kbb and see if they got one for sale. I went in the house and she continued to call my phone and text me for over a hour trying to get me to take 850$. I sold it later that night. And she called me back the next day wanting it for 850$ When I told her I sold it to the next guy with not questions asked she was mad and yelling how I riped the guy off hahah
