> IMO the price is high, at least for Pittspeed. Even if you go with NADA, which I would argue is not realistic here, $3900 is a “Clean retail value,” which I don’t think anyone ever pays, even at a dealer. Also, having no power options means this car appeals to either the most frugal of buyers, or someone who wants it because it’s lighter than a power optioned car. The problem is that frugal buyers are inherently cheap, and someone who cares about lightweight is going to be pulling the car apart anyway, which means they are also looking for it on the cheap (and if they really care they are probably shopping for a hatch, not a coupe).

Ok, thanks. I will talk to the seller and see what I can do.
