Default I'm new here

Hey guys, I actually drive a 2003 Porsche 911, however am in the process of picking up another Honda/Acura to play with. I've had a B16 CRX (was my first car, when there was nothing around like that, back in the day of thepartstrader.com). As far as Honda's I've owned a couple Prelude's as well. I've mostly owned RX7s most of my life and continued to step up and up and now I have a Porsche (It pays to goto college kids). Anyways just thought I'd say hey.

One thing that gets me on here is, everyone places an ad for their car, they bump it like 100 times and come down on the price a 100 times. Why not just price it good and get rid of it? Just a suggestion for those who need to sell their cars.

Welcome.

Introductory posts belong in the regional forums.

You're brand new here which means you're a trial member and don't have access to the classified forums. How you've made that observation is rather peculiar. IP check, anyone?

Why would you knock anyone for trying to get more money for their car?

For Example .... I had a 99 Si that was sold for 8K, I put it up for that. I would of taken 6500 for it .... but luckily someone was willing to pay that right away.

So it makes sense to me why people come down on price after time goes by.

Yeah, that situation makes sense. I just see that people spend weeks trying to sell their car and if they just placed it for a reasonable price, it would be gone. It's just hard when you sell a car you put so much time and money into and you don't get any of it back.

No one has said it yet. Please dont become another useless FS troll. Don't take things to heart here and you will be fine.

Pictures of the car please?
