Ok,
Here we go, from a guy who has owned 6 FFR roadsters. Take it the way you want to, but it my honest opinion.
Why the car has not sold yet, this is a simple one, price. While it is a beautiful well built car, it's not worth $30,000 in today's marketplace. You built it with your personal tastes in mind, trying to find someone who wants "just this car" and color combination at it's current price is going to be difficult to say the least. Same goes for the carbon fiber dash, while it looks cool (and it does), but it's not for everyone. Let's get back to pricing for the moment, with the new Shelby and Kirkham offerings, your running in to the trickle down effect where the kits perceived as the "higher end of the market" are dropping in price in order for the owners to sell. You can get a really nice BB ERA or Contemporary for under 35K these days (I just looked at another ERA 427 SC down in Florida where the owner was only asking $33,000 and he would take under 29K for it because the interior needs to be redone due to sun fading)......It took me less than a week to sell off my last FFR (3510K) at it's full asking price($26,500), why, because I sat back and analyzed the current marketplace, and priced it right....Now, you might come back with the argument that you do have "OBO" listed in your advertisement, but the higher asking price will scare people away from even considering putting a lower offer in on your car.......
Well, that's it from me on this subject, I hope you take it as the positive feedback that it is meant to be (after all, you asked me for it)...........
Sincerely,
Bill S.
PS: Ernie offered 15K, I'll offer 21K just to up the ante.
