Default Re: Whats It Worth?

Mo,FIRST look at the car! before you talk about price.I am like Kenny,I would let him know it is hard to just shoot a price to him because you would not want to insult him in any way.I would let him know what the NADA book says the car is worth and see if he will not set a price on the car.As far as FAMILY,seems to me he is wanting it to stay in the FAMILY that is why he has contacted you,I think he would be upset if you turned the car into profit for yourself in a short period of time.I would buy the car only to keep it for YOURSELF.Now things always change in time and if you need to sell the car a few years down the road then so be it.I would let my Cousin know this in advance that you will keep the car as long as possible!

First: Go see the Car in person,you may not want to pay 30ish for the car after you see it!

Second: try to let the Cousin set the sale price based on the information you provide him,that way he certailny would not or should not be insulted!

Third: Let him know that you will keep the car in the FAMILY as long as you can! And if possible you will keep it many many years as he has.

Fourth: If you guys reach an agreement then neither can be insulted or mad about the deal! and you shall remain Family forever without any problems.

Like someone else stated it may take a FEW BUCKS! to get the car in nice shape to where you could turn a nice profit if and when you decide to resale the car.You have certainly seen vehicles stored improperly for long periods of time and what can happen,not saying your Cousin has had it stored improperly but YOU NEED TO SEE THE CAR!
