I have my white FFR up on Ebay at the moment, within the first 24 hours I had offers to trade for the following:
1996 Honda Accord (all stock 27,000 original miles)
1994 SeaRay with a Cuddy Cabin
2002 F250 with 140,000 miles, jacked up and sitting on 44 inch monster mudders
Time share in Florida
Several "custom" choppers
25' RV pull behind camper
2005 Cadillac CTS
What kind of strange trades have you guys been offered for yours?

A VERY pretty blond in a skimpy swim suit was next to me at a stop light and wanted to know if I would trade for her 06 Mustang convertable.

 Bill everytime I see one of your Ad's I can't help but chuckle as it reminds me of that "Brents not to happy" sticky thread Computerworks posted. Hilarious!
I've never been offered a trade myself... |

Did you see what I posted on Ebay in the last two days. Do you think people will actually read it and get the idea I am not seeking trades

I think there's an entire subculture of people who indulge their passion for unusual cars etc. by trading one for another on a frequent basis. You're probably considered one of them since no one normal would have a Cobra.
Not a Cobra and not quite the same thing, but I was once driving a very sweet restored Mustang through a sidewalk crowd, and a woman who looked like she'd just stepped out of something like Maxim said, "Oh, wow, I'd love a ride!" To which I heard myself saying, somewhat to my own horror, "Wow, I was thinking the same thing!" (It's probably best that I don't remember how it came out, as I was concentrating on not getting people-goo all over the Mustang...)

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.

Bill,
I have to pass on trading on your current FFR. It's got an automatic and I'd prefer a different color.
You turned out to be a wise man when you declined to the trade of my wife's 91 Nissan Sentra with 192K miles. Two weeks after I offered it to you, I sort of converted the car to have open exhaust, but then traded it to a fine recycler of autos for something like $50.
However I think I have another car to trade now. I'm pretty sure it is a 95 Honda Civic with 179K miles, but I have not seen it since sometime in December when I brought it back to the used car dealer within the 30 day warranty for a blown head gasket.
You never know, by the time I get my Civic back you might have something else I might be more interested in trading for.

I was driving mine to work on one of the first nice spring days last year and drive through a little village with a 30mph speed limit. The Boulder County cops watch it like a hawk so I had it in third kind of idling so it's rumbling pretty good. A guy in a bicycle pulls up along side and stays there for about 10 seconds, gives me a thumbs up, and falls back. I get to the stop sign where traffic always backs up and he pulls along side and says "Wanna trade?". Had about a 20 second "what's under the hood" conversation and I got to the stop sign where I had to give it a little "goose" for him.
He was in his 50's so knew what it was.

Was sitting at a light in Santa Cruz and notice a city motorcycle cop behind me by a couple of cars. I'm thinking, "He's eyeing me for a ticket." Sure enough, he revs up and pulls up next to me, then says, "There aren't a lot of things that I'd trade my motorcycle for...", gesturing to his police issue Harley, "...but that car would be it. Nice car." Then took off as the light changed.
My Cobra wasn't even painted (and still isn't, dammit! But that's about to change...).
