I have sent my offer, I may have a response later tonight but I won't be going overboard! Ive just been round to see my Camaro today and its put a smile on my face! Its having a bit of TLC by one of my mates.

Im fortunate to have a couple of toys so should remember that.

I think you just have to know where you're comfortable at*, make the offer and walk away, if it comes back to you at that, great, if not, it wasn't meant to be.

 

*I don't mean financially more, what's the price point that if you went beyond will just p.. you off every time you see the car, and take the fun out of it for you.

You can only price by what a similar spec, running car would be worth minus the risk of an unknown engine problem (which could be either trivial or terminal). I think the car had some improvements to wiring, battery, starter along the way. 

I'd leave the offer with him and see what happens, it doesn't sound like he's ready to sell, really.

Danny said the starter (which was refurbed before I sold it) jammed and set fire to the lithium battery. I know that its now got a blinkstop,, so I'm guessing a mixture of both has resulted in an improvement.

 

Lets see what happens tonight. This post could be ending soon one way or another!

Looks like the end of this chapter. It doesn’t look like there’s any middle ground to be had.

Sorry to hear that, at least you know where you stand now.

 

You never know, he may come back to you in a couple off months if he still hasn't moved it on?

Never mind Andy - I'm sure something suitable will appear n the horizon and no point paying more than you want only to find out that your lost love was a munter 😁
