Lurkers/browsers: This car is not a deal.

What's the deal with 'no deal'?

[Kitcat]

Too much money for what ya get (IMHO).

I was looking at this ad/car, found it had been discussed on this site when it sold on eBay last fall and found this link which provides info/details on the car the current owner could not.

The car looks the same as the one posted at http://1967lotus7forsale.com/index.html

and has been on several Bay Area Craigslist boards over the last month or so...

Is it a Lotus or a Caterham? If a Lotus, the price is probably right. It does have a Lotus mfg plate, not Caterham, per the engine bay pix. The X-flow doesn't look like an X-flow, tho I am obviously no expert.

So if the assumption is that it is too high, then where do you all guess it should be? Any idea of what it was advertised at last time?

So Kit Kat, I guess you wont be calling Tony V on this one then.(But maybe on the "great-deal" car)

And what is with this great deal-bad deal statements, there are forum rules posted regarding ripping comments with cars posted for sale; not only do you make these comments but then you go on to state " I am no expert"!

Rik:

 

The forum rules prohibit bad-mouthing, or critiquing, cars for sale on this forum, not cars for sale anywhere in the world.

The title says it all I think.

So let me get this straight, only a paid member can post a car for sale in the "For Sale" section, and then the car and its seller gets treated with kid gloves, receiving only positive reviews and remarks?

But, if any paid member scours the internet, and finds a car that he thinks of interest for sale, he can post that link, (and that becomes an ad in it's own right), without the sellers permission by the way, and that anyone in this forum can now say whatever they feel about that car.

I think it is fair to say that when any car has been listed in the "For Sale" section, by anyone that, seller should be afforded the same common courtesies as any paid-up member , if not more really, as maybe they did not want their car listed in a discussion forum.
