Croc Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 This was for sale on the Lotus Owners of NY (LOONY) site for a while. Looks nicely presented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersportsp Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 This was for sale on the Lotus Owners of NY (LOONY) site for a while. Looks nicely presented. For a while is an understatement. This car has been advertised for years. I think it was available right after I bought my car...three years ago. It does look nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenntwincam Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 drove this car 3 years ago , nice basic car, was for sale on USA7s beginning of this year . if anyone has ? about condition . PM me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Nichols Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I remember it from the Loony site. I think if it were priced at $26,000 it would be a steal but $30K is pushing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 That car has popped up here periodically over the years. The consensus is it's a nice car but the owner wants too much for it ($30K+). For a base car (bare aluminum, non-adjustable bench seats, 3 pt belts, standard roll-over bar), I agree $26K seems more reasonable, even w/the Zetec. The seller is clearly in no hurry to make a sale.

BruceBowker Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Shilled - think it means friends are trying to get the price higher with "false" bids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikker Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Ah That makes sense here So that is why even when a bidder gets to within a few $ close of reserve the seller never sells Very sneaky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmustang Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Shilled - think it means friends are trying to get the price higher with "false" bids Correct Ah That makes sense here So that is why even when a bidder gets to within a few $ close of reserve the seller never sells Very sneaky Over and over and over again. There are signs to watch for on Ebay, some are glaring in this sellers case as he hopes to sucker someone into bidding at the last minute without thinking. Bill S.

Kess Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I could not figure out why when the price was only $900 away from the buy it now price that it did not sell. I know I would have dropped my reserve on a $30K asking price by $900 to sell especially after 3+ years of trying. I never thought much about the practice of shilling, but that could explain it. Looks like a nice car just more then I would pay for it. It should come up again soon! Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
