Re: People who try to buy your truck
I get it constantly! I own a small business, and drive my truck a lot. Right after I moved home, I parked my 71 at my grandpa shop to change the tranny, I bet the phone rang every other day with people wanting to buy it. I always told them the same thing, $10k as she sits the prices goes up substantially if I fix it first!! That usually gets most folks to go away, as they expect to buy an "old truck" for $1000. The tires are worth more than that!
Right before I bought my business, I had both my 71 SWB 4x4 and my 70 Big Block Nova for sale. Had them both priced exactly the same $12k whichever didn't sell I planned to keep. Had one fella show up 3 times to look at it, but always low balled me. I told him that as soon as the Nova was gone the truck was off the market. He kept messing around, finally a couple weeks later called and said he would pay the asking price, I got it inform him that it was no longer for sale, he was pissed!!
I usually take is as a compliment, and move on. I do give everyone a price, as you never know! I was with a friend at a car show in his 40 Ford, and a gentleman asked about buying it. My buddy spouted of $40k without missing a beat. A little while later the guy dressed in bibs comes back with a duffle bag full of $100 bills, and we were looking for a ride home!
