There were 2 cars my eyes were set on when I was in the market for a FRS just a month ago. Yours was #1 on the list, #2 was a 2013 white FRS with 9,500 miles, I think both of you guys were in the South Bay area.
You eventually told me the "car is sold" while I was texting you during the week, asking all sorts of questions regarding mods, stock parts available, maintenance, etc. So I stopped texting you, only to find out couple weeks later, the car, in fact, was not sold at all.
Never tell a potential buyer that you car is sold when you havent received payment and most definitely do not hold for someone because you may end up losing a serious buyer like myself with cash-in-hand. It's only a serious buyer when they pull up with cash. I would have came to test drive your car with cash in hand, if it all checked out, I would have bought it on the spot, cashed you out all 100's! This is exactly what I did when I bought my FRS couple weeks ago. Seller even was surprised. LOL. We went to Chase Bank so he can confirm all the 100's were real and.. done deal!
Was it worth it for you to hold? No. Was it for me? Yes, I consider it a blessing in disguise because I bought a stock, low mileage 2014, at a great low, price from an owner with all documentation, the weekend after I was texting you.
Don't feel bad though. Just a couple days ago, after weeks of ignoring my offers (which I assumed was the highest already), the other guy #2 sent me an email asking me if I was still interested. This guy has been trying to sell his car for almost 2 months (or more) was obviously trying to fish for a higher bid for a month (since I made my offer), but it back fired, because I've already bought a FRS now that he's willing to accept my offer. Too late guy, I made a purchase already that I'm very happy with. LMAO.
Guys... these cars are not rare. They are dime/dozen. If you have an opportunity to sell it for a decent/good price, just do it. Try not to keep fishing for more if you have a decent offer on the table, and AT LEAST, let all potential buyers take a look at the car. Obviously, ignore the lowballs, but an offer 5-10% lower than your asking price is not a lowball. To me, that is a reasonable offer, especially on things that cost to maintain and depreciate rather quickly. It's not a Rembrandt or a limited or vintage car.
GLWS though! Nice FRS!
