can someone explain why "tabasco" has had his monte carlo blue 2000 for sale for about 7 years and every few months feels it necessary to post when he takes the car out for a drive. If he wants to sell the car, which appears to be a nice car, he should lower the price to fair market value, or , about $52,000. Most prime members know the value of these cars and are not going tto pay anywhere near $65,000 for this car.
nsx for sale on Prime for 7 years

Everything I own is always for sale, if you pay me enough. Same concept.
Topic has arisen before. Doesn't bother me that he continues to list it at that price - I actually hope he gets it! I believe a more realistic price is somewhere between 55k and 58k. Heck, I would have paid those prices for it all day long. But I eventually found my 01 Silverstone with 11k miles on her.
In my opinion, the fact that he has held on to it over the years without firesale pricing shows that having the car isn't a financial obligation to him (which you can assume he hasn't skimped on taking care of it) and that he understands its true value.
Everything has a price and I'm sure somebody that is itching for a great 00/01 (which in my eyes are the golden years for NSX's) will eventually make a move.

Without addressing this specific member, but the issue of over-pricing a car for sale. There is a HUGE difference between an asking price and a selling price. If you are serious, then you price the commodity at or near the market place. If you are NOT a serious seller you ask 20-30% more then the marketplace and continue list it for sale.
100% agree. I'm going to post my 02 Imola for 100k and see if anyone bites.
Sellers can ASK whatever prices that they want and not obligated to adjust the prices according to the market selling trends. Obviously, he is not selling the car if no one is willing to meet the price. Then again, he is not desperate to sell either.

Has anyone actually thrown a more realistic offer at the car? (Not saying to troll but an honest inquiry)
You can call me crazy, but I would offer him $57-$58K for his car, and I wouldn't let this car get away if he wanted $60K bottom line. I like the color, and it has to be one of the best 97-01 NA2's out there. If my NSX actually sells, Tobasco's car will be one on my list.
Maybe he promised his wife he'd "sell it"
+1 Mine is listed "For Sale" too :biggrin:
If you don't tell the wifey what martket value is... We'll stay friends :wink:
I offered 53k cash for the NSX before I found my 99 MCB. I don't have a problem with him listing his car, but he should make it clear that his price is firm so it doesn't waste potential buyers' (and his own) time, and avoid posting about it in other people's threads (which can be a sneaky way around the 30 day bump rule).
Totally agree. In one of the older thread about the same topic (forgot when, maybe a couple years ago?) I said for that asking price the car will just sit, sit and sit.
Then of course there's this KSX or whatever troll think he's the web police and start criticizing my opinions.
$65K FIRM. Just remember, I did not start this thread, so thanks for advertising. NO I do not need to sell, money is not a problem for me. YES the car is perfect, rare, stock and I am the original owner with all maintenance records. NO wife is not a factor. I was offered $62K and refused. @harveyw, its Monaco Blue Pearl/Black--spectacular car.
Why can't I bump it every so often? I have been a member for ~13 years and have always been courteous, as most of the old timers here are. Let me have my fun, OK?

So can you please tell us why you put the car on the market so we can understand.
Ultraman:
I'm sure, whether you wish to admit it or not, YOUR car is 'on sale' for 65K as well... stop bothering him (and incidently us) about it. It is what it is.
Tabasco:
I agree, I don't care what your US market is like now.. 65K FIRM. Hold strong.

To sell it for $65,000.00.
Thanks
Go TABASCO GO!!! I love this!!
Best reply. I look forward to the day when you update this thread saying it sold for your asking price.
The "what's it worth" question will grow more interesting as time goes on. I'll probably be buried in mine, but let me tell you a story...
When I was 14 a friend's dad bought a (new) 300SL gullwing... ($5,500 out the door -- a lot in its day)... time passed and in the late 60's I contemplated buying a gullwing... looked at half-a-dozen between 1968 and 1978 they ranged in price from $5,000 to $10,000... not the color I wanted, nor the condition I wanted (I wanted an all-aluminum, silver/black, with Rudge knock offs)... found two over the years, one was asking $15,000 the other $18,000 -- I thought I could find one cheaper, so I kept looking.
Do you know what those cars sell for today?
Just sayin'... :biggrin:

Tabasco, will get his asking price and it will sell, when you look at it, original owner,flawless,maintenance done, considering the rarity of the car, the color the year and extreme low milage, I don't think there is another out there, so only a few thousands dollar is no big deal for the right buyer who wants what mr. Tabasco has.
Great comparison, and totally agree what you are saying, I bet you kick yourself everyday for not buying that gullwing.
In regard to Tobasco's car and NSX in general, I can see the value have been increasing over the years, and in 10-15 years I can see a very nice,low milage well maintenance nsx dare I say double in value and be very sought after. The NSX has the making to become like the gullwing in the future.
My point exactly.
It isn't for sale. Tabasco is just an attention whore.
