The same type buyer who saw my S-model A4 Audi, its condition, records etc and paid me 500 over Blue Book with a very minor test drive.

The dealers said they would have asked a 1000$ more and sat on it lol! I will ask exactly the retail condition it represents and go from there. I didnt buy the car to make money but I will damn sure not give it away either.

My car is essentially 1 owner all records, over serviced etc. You can always pay more and get less. If it has 50,000 miles and is in good condition I will ask that conditions' retail. If its rated better then I would adjust the price accordingly.

Im selling exactly the cars I tend to buy. 1-2 owners, maintained, records and NOT modified. I fix anything that needs attention and service on time if not sooner. The same with my GTi. Ive done this with every car Ive owned.

I sold my 94 Lotus Esprit S4 to a nice gent on sight alone with a records review. He paid me and I taught him a few things about driving it as he left to go home. I had it for sale for 3 months with multiple offers but only 2 folks were serious and only 1 showed up with the money. Thats all it takes. 1.

IF the Z doesnt sell at a fair price, to me, I will happily keep it. Its not a car for everyone as the sales records of this model show. Those who truly want one will pursue it and I happily will sell to them and be reasonable but not desperate LOL!
