I understand Kevin, sometimes it baffles me that a buyer falls for that 'cheap easy way to make that car more desirable' angle! Why not buy a cheaper car, then put the stripes on yourself? In this example, the buyer paid a premium for the cost of the stripes and their application - oh well

I agree with M...the extra premium of this car should only be the cost of the stripes + labor to add them. No different than an old car with an aftermarket stereo...buy a car you genuinely like, then add the stereo...don't buy the car for the stereo!

Just curious...as I'm sure the original poster is...same as above $16.5K? higher? Lower? Is the "poster" of this thread the new owner? car was sold in Elverson, PA...right near us! Kevin |
