I have a guy from a local car club offer me his mint 57' Chevy Bel Air with a Big Block and 2 stage nitrous. The first day I met him, he wondered away from his Chevy friends like a 6 year old with a guilty conscious, looking around to make sure no one was watching as he came up to me and said "I really have been battling Fords all my life, I have grown to hate them, but in your case I will make an excpetion..." he dangles the keys, points to his car and says "ready to trade?" We both start laughing, and after the laughing stops he says "so, you ready?! I am serious."
Every now and then we see eachother and he shouts, "Just got the engine rebuilt, are you ready yet?!".
It's a beautiful car, and is one of those cars that accidently chirps the tires when put into reverse, or driving at any speed, in any gear. You can take the car from park into reverse, and it chrips the tires. F'n rediculous. Great guy.

I got offered an unfinished CMC Cobra and 5K cash in trade for the car just a little while ago. Is it me, or do people just not read the not so fine, fine print these days.

As a dealer what kind of financing do you offer and will the car come with a 30 day warranty? Will I get a better than KBB value on my trade in vehicle? Can I take the car to my mechanic during my rather lengthy test drive?  |

You guys are lucky getting all kinds of offers. The only thing I was offered was cash.

Had a guy ask for a ride. Told him if he was female, blonde, good looking and had offered a BJ we would have a deal. He went to his car and grabbed his sister and asked if she would do. 
Damn, I hate being married at times.

I'll take a different approach on this. I actually took a trade a couple times. Once took a Kirkham FIA on trade for my GTD GT40 even up. I also traded a Harley and cash for a Cobra once. Last year I decided I wanted to get back into Cobras and put my 2007 Shelby GT500 (black/red stripes) up for sale. Mkt real soft on thoses so I approached a few guys with Cobras on trading my car plus cash. Actually came close a few times, once on a real nice ERA, once on a CSX4000 but had engine I really didn't want and the last one on another CSX4000. I thought this last CSX was going to go through as a Ford dealer was marketing it for a close friend and it was on Ebay and ended up going above the reserve so I lost that deal. One thing to consider, depending on your state, is sales tax. In Texas on used vehicles, you only pay sales tax on the cash difference between the two cars assuming you're the buyer trading for something more expensive. This might be the reason many of you get trade offers as if you are saving paying sales tax you are willing to take a bit less on trading up. Good news for me is I recently sold my Shelby GT500 out right and now can choose what I want which was ordering a new Hurricane.......

It is one thing to be offered decent trades, it's another to be offered the stuff I've been offered recently. Although, I did have someone contact me with an 07 GT500 Shelby interested in the ERA. Only problem there was that he thought his car was worth 10K more because he had a picture of Shelby sitting in the passenger seat signing the dash. A fair market value would have been fine, but a "market adjustment" based on an intangible like a signature (which I could get for $200), sorry, I'm just not that gullible.

PS: Now, I would trade even up on a Kirkham 289FIA, two for one special (his and hers FPSB cobra replicas for one Aluminum 289FIA replica)
