Default Re: how long does a sale usually take?

When I look at Model A ads the first thing I look for is photos of the engine from at least four views, because these can tell me a lot about what the owner knows and what may need attention. Same for the undercarriage, where I first look for original shocks and wiring anomolies. For me, personally, the closer to original and stock, the more I’ll pay. Cosmetics are nice, but not my primary criteria until I see the car up close and live. At that point, though, the mechanics become the major factor. In my area, without a personal inspection, but just judging from your ad, the price is a little high, maybe by $1000-$1500. There are a lot of details to inspect when considering a 90-yr-old car, any number of which will affect the desirability and price up or down.
