Default Really hard question, cant decide what would you do?

Alright, In June i got a great deal on a 2001 Saleen mustang with 78K I bought it for 7500. I am in the process with the Police here and the academy will be in the city and i will not drive the saleen there, also if the police does not work out thinking about going in the air force, (Meps next week). I put my car on craigslist put it up for 11k, and today i was offered 11k would you sell? I was trying to think to my self will i ever find a good deal on a saleen again, reason again for selling would either to be to pay for college plus extra money, or for the ability to sell and buy a beater car and or selling the car since i would be in the air force. It's a really hard question, some ppl tell me sell the car and keep the money and finish school, i don't know what to do. And yes I have had a lot of stangs in the past.

ehh i'd take it. its already profit and 11k may not come back up again especially the way things are right now.

if the cop or AF thing does work out, then you can buy a GT for half that, supercharge it, and have a faster car :-)

Yeahh that's what i was thinking, ppl with saleens overprice them bad thu. But the miles are going to keep going up on my car, i don't think i would get 11k say if it had 90k. it's just hard becuse saleens are hard to find cheap.

Why would you list your car for on CL for a specific amount, receive that as an offer and NOT sell it? You are not only playing games with potential buyers, but yourself as well.

I'll never get rid of my car...unless I got a stupid offer for it. 11k would not be enough for me to sell that car. Just my opinion.

I would sell it... If someone offered me 11k for my car right now I would sell it.

I honestly didn't expect to get an offer so fast, I will have no car once I sell this car. So i am looking for a cheap car. 11k just seems like a money to pass up thu, But i was looking and a clean 2001 Saleen with 78k going for 11k is a good deal for the buyer it seems, after looking around at the internet and seeing what saleens are going for.

Welcome to a world that will one day be ruled by those who communicate entirely though the text message.

stitwn... start your own thread, silly. This one has nothing to do with your subject. Many are into the 1/4 and will be happy to assist.
