Default Non-running Dodge Avenger for $5000 ?!?!?!?!

Wow,

Myspace is full of dumbasses. Ignorant non spelling retards at that. I emailed him and he sent me a scathing one back. Well, here is the orig ad

http://classifieds.myspace.com/index...7&subCatID=103 and his myspace page http://www.myspace.com/the_only_true_yankee

1995 Dodge avernger
This car has a brand new trasmission and clutch just needs timeing belt .It has 16 inch Racing rims cost 1,200
10inch sony exploed speakers with box 2 1200watt jensen amps all monster cables with batt back and cell power save so you alttanator does not burn up mp3 player sony exploed cd player 4 6x9 sony exploed speakers stage 1 2 and 3 racing chips mass cool air intake 5 speed will let the car go for $2,500 with out the system and all for the racing chips or you can have everything for 5,000 thats not even coming close to the time and money i have in the car


and I sent him this

not trying to rain on your parade, but if your timing belt broke... you need to pull the heads (or head if its a 4 cyl) and repair them (read as---> Expensive!) as they are "interference engines". When the valves stop moving with the crank, they are damaged by the pistons.

Secondly, If you look on ebay a 95 avenger barely brings $1000 in great running condition and appearance, most bring less

I know you have alot of aftermarket items and money in it, but you might want to be alot more , whats the word.... reasonable, maybe

Like I said, Im not shitting on your car.... but I can promise you wouldnt be able to sell it with all the accessories for $2500 if it doesnt run. your best bet is just to throw a used engine in it if you dont want to take such a hit on the car

-C


And now the fun His response

Hate to shit on youre parade i know my cars been rebuling motors scence i was 13 and the head and push rods were replaced and the book vale of the car is 2495 new trany clutch heads push rod ya its worth it wont sell it for less ill just let it rot first


Anyone care to put input on this? am I wrong? are non running 95 avengers worth 5k?!?!?

Maybe Im just being unreasonable, or maybe I can use punctuation!!!

well, I sent him this.... can't wait for his response.

hey now!

I wasnt trying to be a dick, just trying to pass information on that might be useful. If you know how to work on cars then maybe.... you should fix it (jeeez, its a 2 hour job) cause you will not get 5000 for a running 12 yo chrysler, let alone with Sony and Jensen sound equipment.

Maybe at 13yo you should have spent more time in english class instead of 'rebulding motors'.

btw, blue book doenst mean thats what people actually pay for cars!!!!

Good luck on your sale

p.s.<---They invented periods for a reason! Use them.
