like i said in perfect condition it is $12k. If you talk to him next tell him that and walk around the car adding deductions for each flaw. Smoke in car $500, leak $250, curb rash on wheels $250, ect... when you add it up deduct from $12k and see if he takes $6k for it. Paint issues really deduct price it cost alot to fix scratches.

 

The good news is the cigarette smoke is actually rather easily removed. Having a detailer with an Ozone machine treat the inside as well as cleaning the leather seats and shampooing the carpets would take that smell right out. Just a thought, maybe the dealer would be willing to cover some of the cost.

 

The dealer did say he would try and get the smell out if I was serious about buying it. I'm still trying to decide what I want to do. Like I said before, I have a lot of money that I've put into my current car and a lot of the maintainence stuff I've done to mine will need to be done to the TS car in about 20,000 miles. Money wise it probably won't make much sense to do the trade for a care with only 18,000 miles less than mine and one year newer.

Give it a little more time, that's what i did until i came across my dale jr on autotrader. 46k miles and $9500 clean title private seller. And while i was searching there were plenty of montes for sale anywhere from $10-14k and anywhere from 40-100k miles. Just depends on what you want and especially how far your willing to travel. I live in Iowa and had to pick up my car in Wisconsin.

 

Here's a Dale jr, not bad

Check this one out. This is a very good deal.

I have a TS #20, its not really a collectors item, yet. They shouldn't be that much money. Unless it was 10K miles and garaged. Be aware of those small leaks from the underside. I just had my fitting on my cooling line crack and now I have to replace the entire radiator. I have 130,000 hard miles on mine and this is the first big issue I have had. I love the car and how it drives. Drove it to Indy, Talladega, Florida, etc. from MD. It may not be as popular but not many people see them When I went to Talladega people were lining up to take a pic with it. I was like, hey, hmmm, girls to the front. I didn't see another one there and there was 180,000 Nascar fans. So, if you buy it, love the car and drive it, do not worry about it increasing in price.

 

My Tony Stewart had 78k miles,bought it for $6,800. Mine was T-boned though. Perfect condition otherwise. Only thing different from the others is that it has a stock Super SS hood and front bumper.

 

Well with all the stuff you said it wrong with it I would offer them at the MOST $7,000 and that is being very nice. You can get the smell out no problem. I have let people smoke in my intimidator and it does not smell like smoke at all. I just have friends that sell absolutely amazing air fresheners that kill odor.
