Your exhausting Mr. Weenie. I don't have the energy to argue this Ca law with you too, which is even more black and white than the original discussion.
Enjoy what you do, just offering some advice from my profession, auto sales, which I do make a living at  |
Mr Renntrade, I'm sorry you're tired. I'm lucky in that I get to spend no more than 3-4 hours a week 'matchmaking' buyers & sellers. I don't have a stake in any car, so whether the buyer changes his mind or not is of no great consequence.
As for illegality, well, I appreciate the tip, but I'm willing to take the risk. Parting out a car in California is illegal, too. So I guess the Highway Patrol could also be combing the 'for sale' section of Pelican to arrest miscreants.
Our big difference is in the perception of the market. I see it as mostly strong with some weak spots. Longhoods are still strong, Carreras have come up in the last year, and Boxsters and 996s probably can't fall much farther. 914-6s are finally bringing strong money. 914 2.0s from 73/74 have been strong for a couple years.
As always, there are multiple forces at work, from the 'back to basics' move you get in any economic pullback to the increasing desire for creature comforts and reduced "fussiness" (a key motive in "backdating" SCs and Carreras). So, from my perspective, the glass is half full.
