I am, by far, the last one that needs to give advice to anyone about cars, however when you are talking antique, classic and collectible cars the first thing you must keep in mind, AM I WILLING TO PAY THE SELLERS PRICE....... if the seller has FIRM on it, my experience in the past when it has FIRM, the seller is probably not going to take offers. the second thing you must keep in mind, DO I WANT THE CAR FOR THAT PRICE.....you have to make up your mind if the car is what the seller is asking, when dealing in these cars there really is no kelly blue book for them..........
.a buddy at work just bought a 1940 ford truck powered by 350/350 turbo tranny and payed 32,500 for it, the seller probably only had 25000 in it parts wise..........
.my daughter in law asked WAS IT WORTH THAT? I told her when dealing with them its a IS IT WHAT I WANT AND AM I WILLING TO PAY THAT PRICE GAME........I havent even started on my 80 wagon and I am already at $1200 with purchse price of 700 and thats just clutch kit, starter, headlight bezel, and hood latch cable (I did all the work myself).....I just got estimates on headliner, door panel and front and rear seats from two shops that anywhere from $1800-$2300...........paint, carpet and dash pad(me doing the work) another $300 or so ......if he has reciept for all the parts, kind of add them up and see what they total up to, then ask yourself IS THIS CAR WHAT I WANT FOR THIS PRICE.........
and I want to ask a personal question if you dont mind....why would you want to make payments to the seller?..........prob
ably going to want more for the car if you do that.
