REALLY!

You guys in the land of the "free" have it sooooooo good over there.

Our dollar is biting your dollars *** and we have to put up with asking prices like this.

wonder why the battery hold down is upside down. Looks like a nice solid piece. But I think there is a bit of Jackson barret sydrome going on there.

[Big_John]

Looks like a decent car. Not great, but decent. I'm not sure if its worth the reserve or not, but then again, you can buy a car for half the price and spend just as much (or more) getting it to that level.

It will be interesting what it bids up to.

for the old car market, money a bit tight and not as free flowing, I was amazed at the asking price at the swap meet this weekend..but then again I also said to my buds that asking and getting is altogether different thing..I am not aware of any changing hands..the JB syndrome is alive and well..I admit all want to get the max for their product, it is only natural, but one needs be realistic..I am still amazed at owners who do not even have the slightest idea of the model they own and drive..quick flippers at times, maybe inherited the beast etc..but info is so easy to come by if one just takes a few minutes to search...it basically comes down to not really knowing what you have or eyes glazed a bit by the quest for a quick turn over for big money..it usually don't take long for them to get the big picture is low offers or maybe no offers at all..the market will on the average self ajust..sometimes it takes a bit longer than you would think..eduction is often a slow process.

I've gotten in the habit of reading the seller's feedback. 92% on 104 transactions ain't that impressive, 'specially when you scroll down and read the buyer's comments on what was sold them and how a complaint was handled. My .02. GA

[Powerhouse]

That seems way to high to me... original engine? Yeah way too high. It's not really a very rare sought after car either. Kinda reminds me of this one...hehehe

[Reg Evans]

Good looking car. Appears to need little. That is a big +

Engine needs some spiffing up, but overall nice.

Edit: my 2003 old cars price guide shows a #3 $5600, #2 $9800

As a comparrison my 2011 old cars price guide shows a #3 @ $6,750 and a #2 @ $10,500. IMHO $6500 is a fair price.

Blueskies sold his 1950 four door for a lot more than the reserve price on this car.

[T120]

..If I was looking for a car to buy,I would seriously be checking out forum member's car -Arthur1947 - he's lowered his price to $5500.

[blueskies]

Blueskies sold his 1950 four door for a lot more than the reserve price on this car.

I sold my '50 for $14,500.00 And, I took a 5k hit at that... I don't think in the ten years I watched these cars sell that I ever saw a four door sell for more than about $7500. The two doors not much more.

Selling my car was much like winning the lottery, because nice '50 Plymouths can be had like this one all day long for less than half of what I sold mine for. But then again, mine wasn't like any other on the market. I didn't spare a penny getting the car just the way I wanted it, and I have expensive taste . Every nut and bolt on my car had been removed, sandblasted, painted, and replaced. The car was essentially new, and loaded with vintage $peed parts to boot.

If it were me, I'd buy the nicest car you can afford. It will cost far more to make it nice than it will to buy it nice. My 2c.

The car is re-listed

Last auction it made it up to $5641.19 it is now up to $5100 with 2 days left.

Do you think it will make the reserve price this time???

[JerseyHarold]

Do you think it will make the reserve price this time???

Only if enough of the seller's friends bid on it!

[michael.warshaw]

Whats it worth?

[P-12 Tommy]

Isn't she driving a '50 Plymouth?

[Young Ed]

Nope its fancier then that. Some other 50 mopar I believe.

[Furylee2]

I remember these commercials from back then. First time I saw it I thought it was a Plymouth, but after watching closely, I'm pretty sure it was a 49 Dodge.

[John Reddie]

That is my feeling too. A '49 Dodge sedan. I had forgotten about that commercial. A real hoot.

looks like a good deal to me for a two door, low miles, real clean interior.

about two years ago I bought our '50 Deluxe four door for $2000. Real happy with my car, I think 6500 is a real nice deal for this car!

Heres a couple pics of my 4 door.

[central52]

That's a fair price for that car in that condition, I think. I bought my 47 Plymouth for $3000, and spent another $3000 to get it in good running condition. Luckily for me, the body was in pretty good shape, just the mechanicals needed to be fixed. Ed

The same seller has a P15 listed as well:

How come in most of the pictures the seats are gray but in one they are red & yellow checkered.

[desoto1939]

The owner has a seat cover on the front bottom portion of the seat. Inthe truck you will also notice anohter part of the seat cover. I amagine the part int he trunk is for the back or top portion of the front seat. probably the bottom has some rips so he put the cover onto protect the seat.

the guy is a car dealer, and the car looks nice i wonder if the frame is rotted?

the car is worth 6200 all day long, look at the dash its perfect!

[Jim Saraceno]

So how do you determine what the reserve price is?

Usually when I see a reserve I don't look any further as it usually means it is way overpriced however, to me, it looks like a fair price for a car in that condition.
