and I thought listing my e30 for $2,750 was too high of a price. Despite all the other e30's on CL being priced much higher, I have gotten very little interest in the car. Might have to suck it up and put a phone number on there, apparently people don't like using email.

Might be a situation where it's priced too far below others so people are overlooking it thinking something must be terribly wrong. I bet if you up your price you get some looks.

That is a possibility. I guess I will post a link, try not to mock my ad too much. I am probably being to open and honest about the cars history, but I can't stop myself.

I've noticed that ads that contain little information get a lot of responses and ads that are laid out well with a lot of history get little interest but generally get bought by the first or second person to actually come look.

That is what I am hoping for. I guess its better than getting constantly harassed by people who would not be serious about buying it. So far I have only had 1 person email me trying to lowball me on price($1800) without seeing it.

Yeah hence the twincharger, small super charger which maxes out at say 3500 RPM, epic turbo so lag is less of an issue.

Yeah the Chevy 350 swap is pretty popular in RX7's with roached rotaries, and V12 Jags with roached Rube-Goldberg Machines (all of them). http://www.jagsthatrun.com

Every single time I've tried to get a neat car, someone's sniped it. :< Edit: And god forbid this guy responds to any of the e-mails I sent him about wanting to look at the car, I mean, gently caress. http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/cto/4768496858.html  I just want a light dinky coupe to throw around corners, is this really that hard? fishception fucked around with this message at 08:51 on Nov 21, 2014 |

Though some people can't read so might get a few time wasters still on the phone. regardless, it's the best way to sell, even if less phone calls, it means even less time wasters and no shows, (which is the absolute worst thing). Funny to read e30s are so expensive there, they are into the dirt cheap territory here, old and over 200,000kms so no one wants them. Most are in the $1000 unfinished project car range, but there's always a few sub $4k one owner type cars around, but too many are autos. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 13:05 on Nov 21, 2014 |

It's a hell of a lot harder for a phone call to get forgotten, while an e-mail is easy as crap to see 50 of them in your inbox and just say, "nope not reading those". The people who only leave an e-mail are usually the people that never respond to you for whatever reason until you find out that awesome car you wanted was sold.

E: Well, my point wasn't about email only, it was about a detailed ad to fully inform the serious buyers up front, so most people that show an interest are fully interested and going in eyes wide open and will probably buy. But on your point about phone numbers, people aren't always contactable by phone during the day depending on their job (might be driving, might be in factory where no phones are allowed- or could even be heard/used, might be in an office where personal calls are frowned upon), and don't want to spend money retrieving voicemails after hours from all these missed calls. Also when the car is gone, then they can ignore emails, rather than still have calls dealing with telling people the car has gone over and over again. I know people can sms, but they seem to be the most dopiest, clueless and most likely to time waste people anyway, and sms obsessed, like send question after question, one by one, rather than put it all in one email, then they flake out.

My bad. I'm just grumpy that this guy won't return my e-mails with even a simple yes. I really don't have a lot of timeframe to be looking at cars, and I've been looking for a suitable light zippy coupe for 2 months now.
