I was lucky. Buyer didn't care about a couple cracks in the dash, non-numbers matching drive train, and balky tachometer. I gave him the three big service manuals as a gesture of gratitude. On Sat, Feb 11, 2023 at 11:25 AM dan penoff.com via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Agreed.

Agreed. You have to include the hassle factor, which pricing things competitively can reduce significantly. -D > On Feb 11, 2023, at 11:22 AM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: > > I’d call that well sold. Congrats on finding a buyer. > > On Sat, Feb 11, 2023, at 11:03, Andrew Strasfogel

Re: [MBZ] OT: the Focus bids adieu

I did get ghosted several times, however. People wanting more photos or videos, asking questions that I answered and never heard from them again, etc. There was also an Ardent school teacher who was practically penniless but assured me when he got the money this was just the car for him. On Fri,

Re: [MBZ] OT: the Focus bids adieu

I'm pretty sure you were in a different price bracket. That alone will weed out a lot of the idiots. Maybe. I'm pretty sure that a lot of the "is it available" one line inquires are automated and if I answered them I'd get strung along into some kind of scam attempt that involved Amazon gift

Re: [MBZ] OT: the Focus bids adieu

I just sold my 1983 300 TD W123 Wagon on Craigslist. I got quite a few responses including a gentleman who already had a 300 CD with the same color scheme who had always wanted to own a turbo diesel wagon. The cost of the transaction to me was $10 for two CL listings. On Fri, Feb 10, 2023, 10:35

Welcome to the hell that is buying/selling online. Sounds like Craigslist is getting as bad as FB Marketplace. There’s a “bull bar” for a W164 that’s been advertised on FB Marketplace a couple miles away from me. I was sort of interested, because it’s brand new, never used and relatively

Re: [MBZ] OT: the Focus bids adieu

Man trying to sell a car to bottom-feeders is ridiculous. Buyers trying to play hardball over $50, then going silent when you say OK. Not worth the trouble, will probably just call the scrapper to come and get it if I don't get a real offer in the next day or two. On Wed, Feb 8, 2023, at

[MBZ] OT: the Focus bids adieu

It's been a really good car all things considered, but time to send it on... the rust is just too extensive. https://bloomington.craigslist.org/cto/d/unionville-for-parts-2003-ford-focus-se/7587421399.html Guessing I get no buyers and will sell it to the scrapper for $200 or so.
