I have never out right sold a vehicle I own, I'm too greedy I like to keep them.

Well i put my explorer up for sale a couple weeks ago on CL.

I had a guy from Saginaw call me tonight and he JUST saw in on CL and said If I will take $2500 Cash he will coem get it tomorrow.


I do not want to take $2500 cash, thats like $800 less than I'm asking my obo price.


How do I go about like counter offering with this guy who has never seen or driven my vehicle?

No reliabilty issues at all. I just bought a 98 Dodge with a Cummins so I have my new 4wd vehicle, I have my car, my motorcycle and the Explorer. I don't need to sell the Explorer but if I can get what I'd like then I will.

Now onto those Explorers in my area.

1st one - Older, way more miles, only 4wd. Mines AWD. Makes a diff (not a big one but options wise yes)

2nd - Older, way more miles, not as many options, 4Wd not AWD

3rd, Newer by a year, but has a new motor and tranny. I don't even consider that a comparison.


I've had no issues with it leaking at all. I usually park it 6-8 months out of the year depending on when the snow comes and drive my car, never once have I had a leak or an issue with it at all.


No oral for anyone thanks, I'm not desperate ;)


I called the guy back tonight to try to hash out what I felt was a fair deal. Some chick answered and told me she would have him call me back in 10min. It's been 3 hours, soooo I will try to call back tomorrow I guess...
It's AWD? I would be skeptical on if that's a Plus or not. That system is pretty much always engaged which gives you worst Gas Mileage. That's what I would think if I were going between a 4WD and AWD. That and if it's AWD that means it's the 5.0 which is not a Small engine either.

However, Your idea of getting a hold of him is a good one. If Some one where to offer me that much I would say "How bout 3000" then see where they go from there. If anything I would take 2700 for it. That's just me though.

Seems like 75% of the time things on c-list are misrepresented when I drive to look at them.
Why is Ember so white trash?

If she was a sista, you'd be all over that ass.

Lives in trailer: Check.

Fucks dudes that owns Berettas: Check
Thinks all black people want big rims and TVs in their cars (racist): Check
Thinks her clapped out piece of shit is a gold mine: Check


Question: Is Ember related to Disturban?
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice.
Agreed

Ember posted the ther night that she lives in a trailer due to convenience. If she wants, she can move to another location......great deal.

I hate to say this.....but Disturban might be less white trash than Ember

Perhaps, but she definitely sounds like a good match for Steveo right now.

I am not going to lie, I think you might be right.

Disturban, consider that a compliment.

Wait!!! Ember, the magic question: If you had (or probably already have) kids, would you get high with them?

This will be the determining factor.

I can guarantee her response will be "I'll smoke with them if they pay for it. I don't want those freeloading SOB's smoking up all my shit!"
Thank you for your well thought out, concise, addition to this thread.

Probably, in that case Ember loses (or wins in her eyes) the white trash showdown. Someone is going to make her the Queen of their single-wide trailer.

Now, do you think Silver Bullet can get her a job?
I am 99.213% sure that Silver Bullet is her neighbor in Vista View trailer park. I think he is the one that told her that a rusted out 1982 Explorer is worth $10,000.

What are the odds that she is a large girl rocking the tube top right now?

You forgot to add the 1980's metric street bike.
I bet the bottom of her feet are as black as the "people" that she doesn't want to buy her 10k explorer because they will "ruin it" by being black.

Oh, that's from NEVER wearing shoes.

Ember, how many times have you been on cops? How many times has Silver Bullet been on cops and you have been seen in the back ground or vice-versa?

Sounds like a pretty sweet neighborhood.
When I was selling my jeep.. on this forum actually, the guy offered me like a few hundred lower than I had it listed and I got all upset and cried. I might have hung up on him too. :teehee: It would have worked but Mike told me I had to call the poor guy back and take his offer since I made him suffer and he wasn't even married to me :(

Anyway, you can try that method.
Thank you for your well thought out, concise, addition to this thread.

No problem. I thought it through for a while. Then i thought, no matter what I say, Hacksaw will jump my ass.
