I could explain why this is a repost but, to be short GREED.
This is NOT a $4,000 vehicle. It is a $500 vehicle.
The sooner the owner realizes this, the sooner he/she will sell it.
It’s a parts vehicle, nothing more. I would buy it for $500 cash today & have it shipped to Montana for spare parts. Think about it, look at others for sale & the condition they are in for the asking price. And of course, realize everybody inflates the asking price, thinking they own a gold mine. Or in this sellers mind, a Platinum mine.
BTW, it’s me again. Here is an example of an owner who knows what they have and priced it accordingly. http://bratforsale.com/1978-in-camano-island-washington/ – If I was in the market for a complete vehicle, this is one which is worth the asking price.
