So the answer is no, you have no intentions of making an offer, you just want to create issues.

I never consider an item sold until cash changes hands. I have been burned too many times by individuals who make an offer and then never pony up the cash. Usually some sanctimonious twit - I'm sure you know the type.

If someone is serious about making an offer, then make it. A serious buyer would offer a deposit - I always do on a big ticket item like a car. Or at least say "hey, I can't wire you the cash (or PayPal, or show up in person, whatever) until Saturday." I'd probably tell them "I'll consider it sold until Saturday."

Now, if you don't have any intention of making a serious offer, shove off.

 

still for sale

 

Still for sale.

 

I am genuinely confused as to how this beauty hasnt sold. If I had the funds I would've been all over this the GP1 is one of my bucket list cars.
The price is great! Especially compared to other R53 just JCW on craigslist I've seen that are the same price but at 120k mileage.

 

If it was closer to me, I would ****** it up! But I'm across the country. GLWS!!

 

Well, not sure if it is simply my bad ad, the negative comments here, or just a bad time to sell, but only had a couple of people interested and no real offers. I'm moving to BaT late this week, so if someone wants to make an offer, now is the time

 

I recently picked up another higher mileage GP, and I'll be curious to see how your car does on BAT; especially with the added fees built into the price. You've got a great looking GP and good luck!

 

Well, I had a potential buyer from Canada who backed out because the car didn't have rear seat belts. Said he couldn't import it.

Now the crankshaft pulley came apart. Common problem. So I'm going to replace it with a Way 2% oversize pulley and a new belt and call it mine. Just not worth lowering the price anymore to sell it, and with the additional work and money I am not going to consider a lower price anyway.

 

Nice car! the market is tough for r53s right now. GLWS

 

Good Call.

Just replace it with the ATI Dampener Pulley.

I agree with the comment above. Practically had to give away my jcw with close to 15k in upgrades.

The market is just rough right now. Ive seen two GP1's sell for under 10k in the last week.

 

I was on the fence and this is the final straw

While I am a little worried about my savings, I think all the bills are finally paid and I tend to worry to damn much. I'll just have to suck it up and work to build up my savings again the old fashioned way. It is funny, I have seen the market for the GP1's all over the place in just a few months.

Way has a 2% ATI pulley. It should help my A/C work just a little better here in Florida and a give a small bump in boost. What the heck, it isn't too much more than stock, I wouldn't consider a non-damped pulley, and with the stock one blown apart I don't have a choice about replacing it.

 

The same crap happened to me on here, when I was selling my F56 JCW I chose this community because I thought it was different. I was at Ways last month, and he put in my ATI damper and 17%scp. I think you should consider factory size ATI.

 

My buddy and I were talking about this a few weeks back.

Both of us have been on these forums for over 10 years and have had multiple minis.

We were saying most of the tire kickers and low ballers we have gotten have come from this forum. People expecting perfection for nothing. Or just general negative comments for no reason what so ever.

It wasnt always this way, but its become this way. Sadly.
