I only drive it during daylight but point taken.
I didn't compare. I was responding to the gentleman who wanted to compare.OK well why not compare yours to some other more comparable units, then?

FYI just because the Carfax report shows the last oil change at 2011 doesn't mean it hasn't been changed. Most mechanic shops - like mine, for example - don't report to Carfax.
You've had the car for roughly 5,000 miles and you're selling it for what's certainly an unreasonable price. I wish you all the luck in the world with that, but you also happened to post it in front of possibly the most critical audience you could have hoped to find.
I just gave you a big list of cars in better shape than yours that sold for less than what you're asking on a major auction site. So, use that information to your benefit.
OR, start a new thread and show us how you're going to fix up your current dream car. We already determined you were dreaming so this must be the one!

The seller stated it was last changed in 2011. Why are you writing your own fanfic?

It's apparent you haven't read the entire listing, then. Why are you trying to sell a car for double it's worth?
I'm a fan of Spyders in general. I know you won't get 25k for yours.
No I did not read the entire listing. I had no interest in buying it. Like I said, if I don't get 25k, I will gladly keep it.

That was your answer? Putting another maker's badge off center is cool?
I'll name a cooler car maker's badge, here you go... notice how it's centered...

Kind of like when people take a single quote from the Bible out of context, having never read the book, and assume a self-righteous position because of their misinterpretation of it?
Placement aside, eagles are cool. I think lions are cooler. You are welcome to buy the car and put the eagle on instead of the lion.
If the oil was changed after 2011, why wouldn't seller state that? Makes no logical sense. And if the seller doesn't know when it was last changed... do you really want to buy that car??
It is always good to try to sell the car and maybe there is a buyer out there. But not on this site. We mostly have spyders, I have three. I would probably sell mine for $35k so everyone has a price that they would part with their cars. But mine is a 2005 Phantom Grey full option stick shift with limited slip and all the trd options. Also the best of 23 sold in 2005. But I would give $35k some serious thought so you need your price and hang in there and see what happens.
Someone gets the idea! Only one way to find out.

Because the seller was not the one who did the maintenance, other than changing the battery because it was likely in a weakened state. I think it's a reasonable assumption that the lifelong car enthusiasts from which it was obtained were the sort who kept fresh fluids in their multiple cars. Even so, it's an easy enough thing to ask the seller to contact the previous owners to ask the question.
The point here is that it's a cosmetically immaculate example. Yours... isn't. Not to say it looks bad, because it doesn't. It just looks like an average condition 2000 model that had precats in for most of it's life. That in itself is cause for concern - the type of concern that would preclude you getting your asking price.

Yeah, do us all that favor, please. That thing is uglier than a license plate.
I am not about to fork over $30k for an assumption. I don't even know why we are still talking about that car. I never tried to compare my car.
