[Shotimes] 94 Moonlight Blue MTX FS

[Randy Smith]

Well, knowing SHO's I'm confident that the car will be back in top 
condition with little money and a little time.  Add to that the 100% 
known history, fresh paint over much of the car, probably 2-2500 worth 
of bolt on performance parts (including tokico struts which I now 
understand to be out of production indefinitely) 

Take a look at other cars that sell for 1500-2500 and I think what the 
others have said about these guides not fitting performance cars is 
very true.

Nobody likes being publicly told they are out of their minds with 
regard to the price of something for sale.  Don't want it?  Don't buy 
it.  Think I really am clueless?  Let me know privately rather than 
trying to embarass me on the list.

At any rate, that's how I justify the 800 over KBB.  I also went on 
Traderonline and looked at what is available around the country right 
now.

With the responses I've seen here regarding price, I'm confident my 
price is in the ballpark.  I also don't want to start a fight, but I 
just think it would be more appropriate to make these types of 
discussions private.

Peace.

Randy
