7% isn't horrible. If I buy for $3000 and sell for $6000 I am still turning a big profit. If I decide I'm not madly in love with it, anyway,
If it was worth $6000 it would already be gone. If it's for sale for $3500 and it takes a while to sell at $3500, the market for the car is $3500.... Its been for sale for 2 weeks at $3500 and no one called. You are trying to get it for $3000. How does it magically become a $6000 car?

While I understand your point, I'd wager it'd bring closer to the $6k number on ebay...or drive it to Cali and stick signs in it.

Milwaukee isn't really a major market, and the owner is VERY hermit-y from my discussions so far. Still not sure if I'm gonna go for it.

Option 3 is really the only option.

As far as what people do to them... I'd up the boost until it explodes then back off one notch.

But it's not that far from Chicago, which is a major market, and people like us are always trolling for cars like that. It's possible that you've found a hidden gem, but I tend to be skeptical, too. It looks and sounds amazing in the ad, but if I had a nickel for every time a car didn't live up to it's ad.... well, you know....
