How about when they say "All it needs is paint. Won't take much". Lol.
When is the last time you could get a cheap (yet proper) paint job?
IF THE VEHICLE NEEDS SOMETHING THAT "WON'T TAKE MUCH TO FIX" THEN EITHER DO IT OR DROP THE PRICE ACCORDINGLY!!!!
I'm sick of hearing it. I can almost understand pricing something just a little high that does not need ANYTHING to be right (just for the fact that most of the world right now seems to be such cheap a$$es that they all want something nice for free). Everything is negotiable, but when you put a perfectly reasonable price on something that is ACTUALLY worth it, noone wants to offer close to it. Atleast maybe if you price a little high, you can get reasonable offers CLOSER to what it's really worth or expected.
And yeah, on the old Civics for $6k or more, Lol. Personally, I'm starting to think that having a Honda with the original engine must be against the law or something. 99% are "swapped". Good luck with that line when they don't have any kind of receipts or proof that it was done right, or the donor engine has legitimate mileage. People must love buying other people's "projects".
