Default Are People on Craigslist Stupid?

I am just curious because I think this is horribly modded and highly over valued... Sure it has low miles but still.

My question, how is it a "show car" and who cares if it was in rain?

$21,000 for a 2005 350Z.
NEVER SEEN WATER other than one rain on the way to a car show which it won!

Used as a show car and for going out at night.

What's the problem? Blue book is $23K and it has a $4,000 Kenstyle body kit on it.

thats a good price based on the blue book. but nobody will buy it because you can get a 370 with around 40k miles nowadays for around 21k.

exactly..
depressing to see how people value their cars and in reality no one wants to be completely honest and let them know that no one will pay even a penny close to their asking prices..

As soon as I saw the asking price I thought why not buy a 370z?

It's a fact 350's don't go for KBB. The market is so low right now and since the 370 is out deprecation is at it's finest.

Hell for 21 he could have a nicely built and boosted Z. But my opinion is in agreement with (oldschool350z) about the market being low.
I think he should have driven that car more and actually enjoyed his modifications instead of letting it live its days out in a garage under a cover.

Something is worth what someone is willing to pay. All he needs is one person to love the car for exactly what it is.

I wouldn't buy it, but someone could.

What you pay for anything on Craigslist should be connected to the product’s or service’s value, and nothing else.

I would never use craigslist for anything anyway, too many trolls and fraud activity, trying to steel honest people's money or property. A couple of us played along with a turkey, who was some foreigner bsssssingggg before and got the darn-est laugh out his the stupidity of this dude. Check ebay, at least they have some control of what goes on. Not saying craigslist is all bad, but definitely be very careful.

No I agree and there are a lot of stolen items at least in more populated areas.

When I sell on craigslist it's a headache as some buyers come with less money on purpose and are like well I'm here with cash so take it. I never do. And many people spam or overpost which is very annoying and flagging rarely takes it down.
