Not taking pot shots at the seller's ad, rather a constructive criticism of what the asking price is and what the market may realistically bear. Often, an owner can put a $ value on each item or feature on a car based on the actual $ spent and time put into the machine. We all know this is not real when it comes to selling a used automobile. I, as a potential buyer, will never pay more than $100,000 for a used replica, no matter what make, model or amount of extras are into the car. Now, that's just me and my 2c worth.
I'm looking to acquire another car, and so I'm in the market for it and the first thing I thought of when I saw the ad was that I could build a close-to-perfect SPF GT for a lot less than that.
Why post it on the forum? I thought it may help this seller realize what is real and what's not. I feel bad that he's got that much into the car, or more, and from the feedback here, apparently not recoverable...at least to potential buyers on this forum.
