People are still in the "really good cash deal" phase ever since the recession started almost 6 years ago now.

Back when it started people were unloading their rides, bikes etc for cheap bc people were losing their jobs, houses etc and legitimately needed cash money on the spot to pay bills, not necessarily bank check, personal check, whatever, bc people needed to throw it in the account and pay bills, creditors etc THAT DAY and avoid the paper trail for anyone sweeping bank accounts.

To me, a banks check is just as good as a fistful of c-notes. But these hustlers want to lowball and throw the whole "I'll come ASAP and bring CASH!" deal at you to get you excited and make you take less than you'd want, bc a few years ago when people were desperate, it might have worked. I also love the guys who want you to hold your car for them while they "get money together", or ask if you want to take a tv or video games, dirt bikes, wrecked street bikes etc in addition to cash.

But now, people know what their rides are worth, whether they need to offload them, and their parting prices. So in my opinion most people ask for reasonable offers and they either get someone who's serious and makes a reasonable one or they don't.

In your case, they haven't to this point, which makes me happy bc we miss seeing you around here.

For what its worth, last year when I sold my VW, I priced it 1k above blue book value, I had a guy who called me and we agreed on price over the phone, (500 below blue book, my car was clean!), he flew out with a bank check and drove it home. It made no extra value for him to travel with 16k in cash on the plane like some wannabe cartel, lol!

P.s. : put a socket extension in between the rotor vanes and caliper next time when pushing the axle inward, don't know why its rotating but maybe that would help!
