Definitely an EXCELLENT deal GLWS

 

Any pictures of the current interior? Where are the rock chips if you have the clear bar?

 

That is the deal of the century. Magnificent car: x51, perfect seats, damptronics. GL with the sale.

 

love those seats. sounds like a great deal for someone

 

The car did sell. Sale was run through a dealer for CPO.

The price the buyer paid for the CPO was on on top of the $60,000 I was asking. I believe the total price to the buyer was $63,200. I list this info for comparable purposes. In hindsight I probably could have pulled the seats, harnesses, & bar out and still sold the car for $60,000. My point being if I wanted to go through the trouble I may have been able to obtain $4000 - $5,000 more.

I like the buyer. He contacted me about an hour after I listed this last Wednesday evening (8-12-09) and was very pleasant and easy to work with. He is from Rennlist I had the car listed there as well. As much as I loved this car I am confident it went to a good home.

 

How did it work with getting CPO done... always understood that to be rather difficult when you don't buy from a P dealer.

 

I explained this over on Rennlist and copied this answer from a post over there but this is how it worked.

Yes I took the car and the Buyer to the dealer. The dealer is acting more as an escrow / middleman. Some dealers will do this type of service for $1000 fee. The CPO was $2000 and I believe there was tax on the CPO plus smog etc.

The Buyer and I went to the dealer at the same time and all paperwork is handled simultaneously. No way a dealer would buy the car from me for $60000 to make $1000 that is for sure.

The buyer did a PPI at the dealer last Friday. The PPI was done on a 37 page CPO inspection form. The car did not need anything to pass CPO.

 

Congrats to both parties...this was an excellent deal,and a rare find for X51 on a 997...have not seen many of them in all of CA

 

Apparently, everyone came out a winner on this deal. What a country!!!
