Thanks, everyone. Sorry to be !beathorse*
Don't be... This is fun... You're not being fickle. Each of these has had a problem. This is a great thread. It will be useful for those who read it in the future (OK not really)
Not sure how low I can lowball him. His reserve was 3K higher than the last closing bid.
Oh it's easy... Mr Bug owner. You've already listed it previously...at least twice. Obviously youre reserve is too high. So bring it to about $7000 where it should be, and maybe in this horrible economy, you'll sell it.
I've already had my guy look at it and with the exception of some seriously misaligned windows and an incorrect top replacement, he was impressed with the car. Taking that into consideration, if you knock off the $1200 that the necessary repairs will cost me I will bring you $5800 in cash.
I look forward to your reply,
Sincerly,

Then if he accepts, you tell the guy that your wife Karen will come pick it up with a guy from Kessel's VW
Worst think that can happen is he says no (with some explatives about you or a parent)
OK the worst thing that can happen is he reads this thread #@rofl3
