  1. Did you shop around? Or check the Facebook groups where the enthusiasts hang out and nice cars become available occasionally. For far less than what you had to pay….. It’s your money but we occasionally see better quality cars for half the price….unless you are dead set on white with tan leather which is very uncommon… But you’re the type of buyer for those types of auctions. And it all worked out if you’re happy with it…
  2. The Fiji—-what an atrocious set of seats in there. The Flatty—-that dealer paid $5500 off Marketplace from a private seller in Georgia. I’m glad he still has it. Let him keep it forever. He bought it in Dec2023, and then I see it posted for sale on eBay shortly after. And here we are a year later.
  3. “Back in the game” = “flip the very first one I find” 😎
  4. I’d never attempt to enter the market of SQs and hope to be profitable. These cars are a drain on your finances.
  5. Direct is the only way I know to be. The seller could be leaving money on the table by giving no effort in the presentation.
  6. Should have taken the time to make it really stand out and talk all about the car. No mention of maintenance records. Nothing. What all has been replaced and when? Thats my favorite part of selling a car. Putting forth amazing effort that really stands out. That’s why I usually achieve top dollar. People buy the seller before they buy the car.
  7. Worst description ever. Zero details about anything.
  8. $1.48/each on Rock Auto. preset gap is 44
  9. NGK 7031 is OE plug. Gapped to 36-38 is what I ran for 17psi on a 20G.
  10. I’m sure there are plenty of used throttle bodies laying around. Guys on FB will have tons of them…. Just buy a used TB. Should be able to grab them for $20 or so….
  11. Congrats. It really is an insanely clean flatty. Still hate you had to get it from a dealer for a premium and not the original owner. Are you picking it up or having it delivered?
  12. I still lurk….although I sold my CQ in November 2023…
  13. Steve Comer’s car he bought in Sep 2023. His reserve is $30k.
  14. pop up on BringATrailer? I guess the FS post was deleted of the guy posting his 1-owner Yellow 89 with 30k miles. And wanting to sell it with no price like SQC is an auction platform. He wouldn’t throw out a price as he thought it would hurt his ability on BAT if people knew his reserve price. People will pay what they’re gonna pay regardless. Anyways, I was truly interested in it but I guess we are waiting to see it show up on BAT.
