Guess what the price is?
Don't you just love all the ads posted here that don't have a price? I think it should be mandatory to have a price in the ad when posting on this forum. Just my opinion.

Some people might not want to hang it out there: if you're interested in the car, it doesn't take a lot of effort to write an email. if you think the price is too high, you ain't gotta write back.

So if you're trying to sell a car, what's the problem with telling people what you want for it?

I Agree With ZEEEE06
Here here ZEEEE06! I've never really stated it....but you hit the nail on the head. I hate having to guess if I can afford something...put you price on the post. Don't waste my time and yours.
I shop based on price....always. I have not reached the summit in my life that affords me the option of....just buying it....it was a great deal. Right! When pigs fly.
I like to read about the sweet star wars dollar cars...but can't stand smoke screen pricing when I'm thinking about purchasing something. Thats used car lot techniques of drawing in a sucker.
Let the car sell itself and put the price on the window (post) and seperate the "think I cans" from the "know I can'ts".

Well, I usually don't even bother asking.. If the price isn't specified, the car is usually overpriced...
Same thing for Ebay cars with reserve price or high starting bid... Wouldn't even consider them

I listed a price, pictures, and complete disclosure on the car and I have yet to get one peep

If the price is not listed, I go to one that is for sale. I don't want to hunt you down to ask the price. It usually means it's overpriced, ashamed to list the price, or you must go through a ration of jargon before they will even tell you what they are asking. Red flag for me because I employ my BS detector. My .02
