Regardless of what Carmax or KBB will tell you, I have my mind made up for IF and WHEN I ever sell....
I will ONLY sell to someone here, who has owned one before, and knows this breed well enough. Also, because they frequent this place to KNOW how to get the right info from the right people. Plus, they know the "personal" value of these gems so they would understand the selling price better than Bob who wants to upgrade from his Tercel.
Sorry, no first time buyers for mine.
BTW, I think it was last spring/summer, some dude offered me $20k CASH for mine. I never saw him in my life. Older man, well dressed, and looked and sounded good for it. Especially after he gave me the tour of the custom Z06 he was driving. But.... couldn't do it. He gave me a card in case I changed my mind. Said he always wanted one. Wish I still had the card. I would pass it on.
