...probably explains why you still have no bids on this vehicle. Perhaps you should lower the starting price to something a little more realistic. $25k seems a bit steep IMHO.

I would have bought a year ago before I bought the 8 if I had seen it. You will never see one that new again.

It looks like it will need some work on the paint and the engine bay was pretty dirty, but a good cleaning could make a lot of difference. I really don't see them making the sale at that price but someone may be desperate enough to pay that. For 20K it would be sold already.

You should check your grammar before you criticize someone else.

You can tell the people that don't know how "rare" this car really is... at that price, that's not so unreasonable. It really is that rare, should be closer to about 20k-22k range... but the car looks to be in good shape if the details he stated are accurate. 8k miles? DANG, that's low... MT, 1995, that's one of the holy grails of FDs.

Who cares what the blue book value is on this car, this car is worth more that what that book states. If the price was just slightly lower, I may have to buy this car.

Curious, he's not willing to entertain any offers outside of Ebay. What does he have to hide from a "live" buyer... you know, someone who can actually see and inspect the car.

Ebay sales tend to go for less than live sales for that reason, I still think he overpriced it.

Maybe he is hiding something... Should ask if a person could inspect the car in person (since it wasn't inspected by the Ebay people's services for cars). And even offer CASH for the car and see if he will bite, that way no stupid fees from Paypal, or Ebay final price fee.

Based on the description I expected it to look like it was in better shape. For being covered all the time the paint sure looks like crap.

IMHO in the case of a car like this, KBB means nothing!! I wouldn't take a dime under 25K for that car....or mine for that matter!!

There is something really shady about that seller. If I were a buyer I wouldn't trust it for a second.

maybe it's a scam!! I was watching one exactly like this one being sold at a dealership but they wanted $35k for it. I spoke and emailed the dealership salesperson and it was legit. Maybe this one copied the pictures and description?? Two of the same color, same year, similar mileage being sold on ebay withing a month timeframe? Highly unlikely.
