My experience has been the performance car dealers sell on consignment and jack the prices way up. If you don't you are one of the few.
I have nothing to do with performance cars, we are a Subaru specialist..lol
Regards consignment dealers, often times( but certainly not always) the reason prices are out of line can be because the consigned is overly proud of what he has, price wise.
As the dealer has no money tied up in a consignment, they do try to make it worthwhile to fool with. If it sits around and rots no skin in the game
It’s makes one wonder why such people don’t try to get rid of cars they overprice themselves.
Sometimes, I think such dealers should pass on such cars that don’t have any valid meat left on the bone.
You may be an exception to the rule but Classic car dealers in general have a bad rep and I've seen many examples of why in the last 20 -25 years. All were overpriced and several not even safe to be driven on public roads due to rusted frames/unibody and a multitude of other reasons etc.
You ask why people don't sell it themselves?
1. Because they know its a POS and don't want any comebacks. This is also why many are sold through auctions.
2. They consignors make outrageous claims on the cars value
3. They don't want to be bothered with listing, calls, emails etc.
Attached are a few pic's of a unibody structure that was Bondo'ed over and covered with bedliner material. Another had duct tape over the hole(s) covered again with bedliner spray bomb. The real favorite is thick undercoating
My hat's off to you for being legit but I'll bet the cars you sell are not the norm.
