    Thanks for the heads up. This is what I would want the car to look like except the ZR1 fenders.

    Well, haven't heard back from the black Shelby yet after the offer. I just can't spend 50k+ and need to replace tires. Hope I didn't offend him....

    Same, but custom ones you can make (and save) are great too depending what you’re doing

    There are so many options for a Tesla it seems endless. I just don't like the charging station meetups.

    Well he may not have liked my offer. He wants 60k. I offered 53 and change due to the car having 11 going on 12 year old tires.

    Kinda ridiculous asking premium price for a sports car that needs 2000.00 in tires

    I understand that point, but from a slightly different perspective...

    I wouldn't let $2k in tires be the deciding factor in the transaction or steer me away from having what I want (if it's the perfect vehicle for you)

    You'll spend that in travel, fuel, registration, immediate mods (a rear wing and stuff or other mods that need to be done on a potential car) w/o batting an eye

    Also, he may be someone that simply doesn't negotiate at all over the phone/email, etc. I know many that refuse to talk price unless you're face to face; at this point you haven't committed to him and you're not prepared to immediately take delivery. It would be different if you were negotiating over the phone/web w/the intention of buying sight unseen, but you're not...

    Not saying there's anything wrong w/your approach, just offering another perspective. However, if it was me on the other end of the transaction, I would simply reply, 'Thank you for your interest, but I don't negotiate remotely. I would encourage you to come view/test drive the vehicle and assess your position from there' :thumbsup:

    For the record I have nothing against EV’s and their performance. Absolutely legit stuff. But if I want to get my rocks off it’s gonna be with a good ol v8 and not with something that has the emotional qualities of a toaster.

    You've got a point but the fact that the guy won't even come down $2k for having 11 year old tires on a high performance sports car is a bit ridiculous.

    He could say "I'll commit to $58k but can't promise any lower"

    Kinda where I am on that. If you want 8k over the value....show me what I'm getting for that money.

    That makes it hard to fly and buy. And I agree with your philosophy about not dealing with a guy who is already over market value. Crossing my fingers for you to find your rig soon. Gotta get some fun out of it before the snow starts to fly.

    Always next year :D.

    Most of the tires on the cars we have been discussing shouldn't be driven under 45*F anyway. They get a bit slick. On my last Corvette you would get a warning at 43*. Snow tested my ass. :rofl:

    How do you even keep tires on that thing? Probably have to keep nipple clamps on and shock you at 50% power. :rofl:
