uhhh....there is nothing "unethical" about changing your mind and deciding you don't want to sell your car. If I am selling a car and the potential buyer has cash in hand and tells me he is dropping an LS1 in it I can assure you he won't be buying the car.

and the reason I would say to him for deciding not to sell it to HIM SPECIFICALLY is because I don't want the car to end up like that. Everyone needs to stop trying to make excuses as to whyyyyyy the dealers keep flipping this car. It is about the $$$$.

This car needs a good home but the price is so far out of wack now that I doubt it ever happens.

This is what I meant when I said the car is not SERIOUSLY for sale. The seller may not see that yet. The 91 Santa Clara IS a car seriously for sale, get it?

Ah yes! You had a much simpler way of putting it now that I got it!

Also, as far as ethical or not, what I mean is that it is unethical to not sell someone a car "just because" of a person having purple hair, green teeth, etc... That is about the person. When it comes to about the car (i.e. turn it into a ricer), than I would object to the sale as well if the car meant a lot to me. I've made out quite well buying Mustangs from people who are certain that I want to keep the car to a stock standard. That's what I was trying to get at... sorry for it being late last night and I might not have been as clear as I would have liked to have been!

I see your points.

This part of the thread was derailed and sent down the whole selling debate path by VintageRacer (Mike) who attempted to post that it was a crime to refuse to sell a car to someone.

Unethical or not, it's not a crime, and we try to keep the misinformation and internet attorney talk to a minimum around here. Really, it's all about cutting through the BS and calling it what it is, too.

I really hope it doesn't end up turning into what Joe (BHPD) mentioned yesterday, where the average enthusiast (read: not car dealer, nor flipper, but someone who truly loves these cars) is priced out of the hobby by those using it for business purposes.
