Originally posted by MarkJerling A '56 Lincoln Continental with 368 V8, auto, power steering, power seats, electric windows and factory aircon is the only car I'll ever need. It is perfection on wheels. Good examples currently sell for $40,000 to $60,000. I would give my left testicle for one.
Years ago I was a salesman, and the cardinal rule when you want to buy something is to never let the seller know how much you are willing to pay for the item .....or in your case...how much you are....... willing to part with
......for said item....which for you is the Continental.
The seller, if he is canny......... may up the cost to demanding up to three times as much as you were willing ....to part with...... for the Continental .
Then you might find you are forced to compromise ....by parting with.... not just one.....not three....but two testicles .
Just my take...or perhaps the seller's take.
