Default Re: COPO Appraisal

Are you going to cut him a check for what you think its worth in your mind or what the cars are REALLY selling for?
Yes the car is worth LESS then a Yenko and always will be.
I can get the Best COPO Chevelle for 300K but does that make a Fathom Green car worth the same price? NO one is stepping up to 300K but if you say his car is worth a lot more, it must be worth more.Please I hear this ALL the time:
My friends says its worth more!Let him write the check.
Exsample: Guy calls me with a Blk Hemi Cuda 4 speed Non original motor and NO buildsheet. Have a BUYER right now for 350K. Well he makes a few phone calls and people tell him its worth over 400K. He tries to jack the guy for another 25-35K and my guys says I can get a better car with paperwork and #'s matching. And he can. I have a Orange 4 speed done to #1 standards with #'s and paperwork for 400K.
Well 2 weeks later the guy is begging me to get him 360K.Now he has NOTHING.
Just because someone tells you its worth that much,doesnt mean he is going to write you the check.
Its only worth what a REAL BUYER is willing to pay...


Just my two cents !! Sorry if I offended anyone !
