Offered a crazy price for my max

Ok, this guy really wants my car and has been ringing up and has offered me $19000 NZD I paid $13000. I really like this car, but when I think about it, the body kit and the wing are the only things that are aftermarket, and the mags. I really love this car but Im really really tempted to do the deal. I guess I can get another one and use the money to do a bit more to it. What do you guys think?

I'm afraid that I have to admit. Sell it while the offer is still on the table.

that max does look pimp. Too bad we dont have factory body kits here. By the way... are those wheels photoshopped on?

Im sorry, I havent updated my sig, but thats NOT a factory body kit as I thought it was. Its a Holden HSV body kit that was custom fabricated on to the car and an Mitsubishi EVO 3 wing. I contacted the last owner who contacted the guy who actually did up the car. And o, the wheels that you see are real, and slightly ugly I think.

So am i hearing this right? You buy the car, drive it around for awhile and then make a profit of 6000? I would sell it without even thinking twice about it.

Haha....I thought it looked Holden-y. Those cars look so tight...but aren't they GM cars? Or am I smoking something? You should get yourself a SV300 haha....but the 8 might be a bit of a jump from the 6, eh?

A car is just a tool... an inanimate object. There is always another one, a better one. When you have had 20 or so cars in your lifetime, you will come to understand this. Sell it.

There are weird people out there, a buddy sold a 1985 Maxima, yes, 16 years old for 1400. He bought it for 500 6 months before that, and put 9,000 miles on it. It drove like s***, made a clunking sound when it went up hills even at 65 mph. Me, I wouldn't want the aggravation of some guy calling me up saying he got ripped off, not worth it. But then again my buddy is a landlord, so that says something there.

I know Maximas have no resale, but I didn't realize a 4th gen could sell for as little as $5600. I've seen '99's as low as 12k.
