Pictures mainly show the (not included) RPF1 street wheel set, it comes with the autox wheels+tires. I've been meaning to paint the gray 6UL's silver to better match the RPF1's but am waiting for warm weather, you can have the wheel paint if you want it. Pictures also show the purple open-ended lug nuts, I've since replaced them with black closed ones - if you really want, though, you can have the purple lug nut and magnet set!

*from previous valve cover gasket which was replaced to prep this bad boy for its rookie year as an autox car this summer. Did I mention that the car won Nationals in its class on it's first attempt? If you are ready to bring your skills to the next level then don't pass up this one up.

I’d probably take out the camber worn tire pic and the few of it with faded light and mis matched wheels. As well the odd ones that seem to do nothing with the car I.e the wheels in the passenger seat.
Other than that good ad!

Will you take a can of beans and a dead cat on a trade

$7k cash offer on the table after 1 day of being kinda sorta listed on a private local facebook group, haven't even had time to properly clean it up and take real photos... Sorry it looks like you were wrong!

I don't even have the car 100% ready, was expecting it to take longer, but $7k is all I want out of it so as long as he comes through it is sold.

That's pretty good but tbh I think it's worth the ask sale price. They aren't beater/scrap cars anymore since fewer around.

Your seems highly effective due to your choice of fully depreciated cars. Congrats bud!

I might be able to get an extra $500 if I screw around with tire kickers for another month or two, but at this price I've got a local no-hassle buyer and I'm out roughly $1500 in capital costs for 10k miles and a shitload of autox events which is fine with me.

Dudebro backed out, I guess he wanted to buy it as an additional car and not a replacement - so he needed a loan and apparently the bank said

Looks like I'll have to put some actual effort into this.

A loan for $7500 dude has his priorities straight.

a low interest loan is a low interest loan. Can't afford not to take it. I have plenty of cash to buy a $7k car but would consider a loan on one as well.

Also, not everyone is rich like DFD bros... $7k is a lot to most Americans.

How does a brand new house have equity to loan out? The down payment on the mortgage?

$7k isn't that much equity

In my experience, when someone builds a brand new house it costs $X to build. In this market, when the build is finished the value is $X+Y because comps keep going up in value.

EDIT: Also, when doing construction loans the LTV was closer to 65% than the "standard" 80% so you had room right there for a HELOC after the build was done.
