'62 f-85

Saw this on craigslist.

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/5249282824.html

Looks clean but a little pricey.

I think the price is in line for the condition. Probably need to see it in person to make an offer.

Nice car but definitely at the very high end of the market for a 2bbl, non-convert, non-Jetfire, non-manual trans. "All original", except for the repaint, and the generic seat upholstery...

$5K is closer to market value for this.

You have to start somewhere. When people buy something like this they need to feel like they haggled a good price. 1st rule of selling, you can always go down in price, but never up.

There's a lot of truth to that. I don't know how many times I've offered what I thought was a lowball price on an item at a swap meet, and the seller said "yes" way too fast. You feel cheated.

Of course, starting too high can prevent people from asking in the first place, so there's a fine line that you need to walk.

I'm almost certain this car was on E-bay not long ago and I was bidding on it and I jumped out at $5,500.00. Reserve was nor met.
