It's probably why he has all that stuff still on the lot. It's a shame, really.

I've gotten to the point myself where I'm selling some old stuff off, and I discovered that no matter how cheap it goes it's not making me any money sitting around, especially if it's rotting away.

       HI That is a nice car but 5000 would be a good price . with that many miles .
            Shane and Colton it is a very nice  eagle but almost 10,ooo is to much .
             Colton did you try offering him 5000 for the heck of it . to see what he would say .
              he mite say OK or yes And you would have a nice Eagle .

I'd be worried about how much is ready to start leaking and breaking on it.  Cars don't like sitting for long periods of time, and it usually takes a long time for tires to go flat just from sitting too long, like over 5 years.  Perfect opportunity for all the seals in the motor and trans to dry out, harden up, and leak/fail.  So pay out the wazoo for the thing, then risk having to completely overhaul the drivetrain.

yeah, that's wayyy too steep.  I can see 4-6 grand for a low mileage, loaded, no rust whatsoever beauty, but not 10K.
