I was rolling on the floor laughing know my car is worth much more then 14k. Some people think just because they have money in hand other will bow down at their money.
Some middle eastern young men chased me down in their pick up truck just to offer to buy my 930. I rarely drive that thing, and said "No thanks. Its not for sale." Their reply was (thick accent)"Everybody's got price. Throw me price and I go bank. Cash, no bull siht". I have 52,000 miles on this thing. I shouted, 95,000 and you got a deal. They cuss me out and said I was crazy. "I give 20k cash money, in hundreds. Good deal for you". I smiled, light changed and left. Those bastard kept coming but I lost them using all of my 460 crank hp to get away from these nut jobs. People such. I have stories to tell with the housing market. Same thing, nuts.
Just what the hell are these people think they can accomplish by low balling? someone in distress?

I have a three car garage, and I was moving my 911 over to the work bay. So I pull it out and park in in in the parking area of my driveway, mover the El Camino over to the bay where the 911 was. As I was ready to get into my 911 some guy in a HUGE F450 pickup parked in in the street and said he wanted to buy my car. I gave him my standard reply when someone offers to buy either vehicle, it is not for sale for any reasonable price.
Of course he asked what I will take for it. I told him my price was 50K and regretted not saying 60K. Of course he wanted to call his brother and get the money together. He handed me a car, and he sure knew my address.
I keep my garage doors locked, and the cars locked in the garage.
