Cars with unrealistic asking prices that remain unsold...

Please refrain from trolling and personal attacks on this thread.
Please discuss cars with overly optimistic asking prices in this thread.
There is no need to insult the seller or the car, we are only talking about inflated asking prices in this thread.

A properly priced car will sell within days. This thread is for the opposite of that.
I suspect we will see a stalemate of unrealistic asking prices this Spring.

G50 targa with 123k miles.
Has gotten bids of $24k and $26k in 2 past auction cycles.
Not sure of the reserve, but BIN is $33k.
He's not getting $33k for this.
Porsche 911 Carrera Targa 2 Door | eBay

1986 Coupe. 113k for $32k.
Listed 2 weeks ago.
Over 100k. Not G50.
He's not getting $32k for this.
Excellence :: Porsches for Sale : 1986 911 Carrera Coupe for sale in New York


Please refrain from trolling and personal attacks on this thread.
Please post cars with overly optimistic asking prices in this thread.

LOL, 160k miles asking $28k !!

LMAO! $50,000 for an '85 Targa with 125k miles
I expect this will take a few years to sell.

This is simple supply and demand economics.

Why don't you buy one already and then focus your posts on learning how to fix it when it breaks?

Did I ever mention my grandparents bought me a pony when I was a baby? Not sure what they were thinking since infants possess substandard riding skills at best.

Oh, and their German Shepherd sat on me when I was a baby. Probably explains a lot.

Turkey bacon is not bacon. I call foul (or fowl) on that one.

Love SPAM; they did a special on Nat Geo on how the spam animals evolved over time. Great stuff.

Oh, you expected to be taken seriously? Treated with respect? Sorry Skippy, that ship has sailed. Probably time to search for a new bridge to live under.

I'm okay with SPAM, but bacon makes me nauseous.

It's nice that nobody has actually talked about the subject.

I, too, love bacon. And Spam, but only in conjunction with pineapple. For some reason, Spam and pineapple were meant to be together.

The Hawaiian's agree.

Hawaii requires Hormel to maintain something like a 90-day supply on-island at all times.

If we brush all our "teeth" with it, why do we call it a "tooth"brush?
