[V8] V8 FS

[V8] there is one....

  I stopped because the simple economics argue against buying
this car.

Here are the reasons:

             1.  The asking price is simply too high.

Wow, if that were a reason not to buy, I'd still be walking and no one
would have called on the V8 I listed with an even higher ASKING price!
(they have)  Blue book is useless to a buyer here.  If the seller wants to
sell, the price will move.

             2.  The seller claims that the car doesn't need a timing belt
because of mileage.  But the seller can't tell me when the timing belt was
done, and I must assume that the car has the original belt.  The car cannot
be driven until a major timing belt service is performed.

Hmm, ditto on my then 42K example last year.  I had the owner drive it to
the shop while still in his name and the risk was on him.  Simple solution
all negotiated in the price.


             3.  Thus the car will have to be transported from Washington
to
Maine, and the cost of doing that will be around $1800 according to DAS.
That puts the price of the car sight unseen well above ten grand.

See #1, I bet Ron would get it for a lot less than that!

The bottom line for me is that I won't pay that for one of these cars,
unless, and that is only a "maybe", the car had fewer than 50,000 miles and
the mileage was verifiable.  Doubtful, I think.  Not likely. So, I'll pass.
Reluctantly, because it is almost too good to be true.

Maybe that should be the top line and you wouldn't have to agoniize about
the rest!
You never know, too good to be true, quite possibly, some are. They are out
there.  My 42K miler was bought about 40 miles from you. (well below asking
price!)  You never know till you check it out.


Although I really want another V8, I have been watching the auctions and
the
used car ads carefully.  It's pretty tough, but it is possible to buy an
'02
S6 Avant with around 50k on the clock for the low twenties now.

Easy to get low 20K miles for the same price.
