R allocation call, but one small problem

[RaceRedGT350]

Who's a hypocrite here? It saddens me to know that a fellow airman would succumb to the motivation of coming on a site where people have been fighting hard to attain an R and be braggadocious about auctioning off an item in greed.

There's just something about honor and integrity... You know, looking out for others above self. That's why we as airmen sacrifice, or at least I thought it was. But I see how greed is a motivator here... And if one airman calls out another airman on matters of conduct then that's perfectly fine.

Enjoy your auction man... Still, I do believe you could've done his without posting this on a site where others are chomping at the bit to be in your shoes.

And to be fair, I think by hypocrite, he may be referencing the fact that you have the most expensive GHIG Boss 302 on the market today. You seem to be asking quite a bit more than the car is worth. Any specific reason?

You seem very confused. I am quite certain that the core value is Service before Self. And please show me where selling a commodity for a profit is a lack of integrity.

Now, if you had come out and said that you think it is morally wrong, so be it. Morals are, well, to each their own. And, uh, I have to think you work on planes, in services or security forces as you severely lack the acumen required to succeed in the business world.

Whoa! Did you just slam airmen who work(ed) on planes, are in services or security forces? Really?

OK. I was with you selling whatever you want for whatever amount you want - that's your business, it's a free country... do as you wish. No worries.

But, you're seriously going to slam people based on their job in the military? Wow. That's truly unfortunately. And, to group those people as to "lack the acumen required to succeed in the business world." How terribly mislead you are.

I spent over 13 years in the Air Force and started out as...you guessed it, an aircraft mechanic. I had 15 semester hours to my name when I entered as an E-1, and I exited with a Bachelor and a Master's Degree that helped me land a great position in Corporate America. Currently, God has blessed me with an executive-level position with a global organization and I couldn't be happier. And, I would fully credit both the military and my mechanical background as enabling me to have the position I've been blessed with.

Stereotypes are not good...ever. And, sadly, you don't know [MENTION=15817]DrumReaper[/MENTION], or you'd know just how off you are in your generalization of his occupation.

I could add my own stereotype, but I've learned that all people are created equal...being a mechanic in the Air Force early in my career helped me understand this truth.

Ha, I joined as an F-16 crew chief. That changed after a few years though. And you must have missed where he stated it was OK for an airman to call out a fellow airman. Kind of convenient actually. And no, I don't know him. He doesn't know me either. He knows nothing about what I have sacrificed in the AF and in my career after separating. But again, you seem ok with that. You are being extremely selective in your criticism for someone that has achieved as much as you have. It would appear that you and I have taken a very similar path to get where we are today. One difference is that I don't attribute any of my time turning a wrench to my success today. It is 100% based on the follow on career that I X-trained into.

Understood. But, I think you missed my point. Coming into the military as a mechanic was an incredibly humbling experience. Consequently, I learned that I didn't know everything, and that some of the smartest people I now know where "grease monkeys" who didn't have a degree. This humility lead me to be who I am today, and I credit it to my "humble" roots. That was the point.

Best to you, regardless! :ford:

Wait, so you're going to get a car for 5k adm, and openly admitted it on the forum... and want somebody to pay you more than what you're paying? I hope you get stabbed in a dark alley. It'd be one thing if you were smart enough to get this done without having to get help online, but you've obviously got more money than brains. Don't brag about being shitty, it just lets people know how much of a scumbag you actually are.

Right !! he found a dealer to sell him the R for a small 5K ADM and this guys already has a GT350 but wants to make a quick buck...I guess the dealer is stupid for not asking a higher ADM....this makes me sick :tsk:REALLY Everyone bitches about dealer asking HUGE ADM's....but...Hey lets make some quick bucks off the nice dealer:clap2:

 

[DrumReaper]

Wow... I am simply astonished at your "integrity". Yeah, you're morally corrupt, and you proved that my slamming the working class of the Air Force.

[MENTION=16199]shelby_r[/MENTION] did you a service by helping you understand the value of ANYONE at ANY LEVEL in the Air Force, yet you stomped on him a second time.

As for the Boss, you obviously don't get why it's priced where it is... And if you look at where mine is priced you would see it's actually low for what it is and I'm not skyrocketing the price to beat someone's wallet down which is exactly what you are hoping to do. Move along...

I don't know you, don't care to either... Probably best I don't. But, I do realize and appreciate every aimen's duty and input. I certainly do wish you well and hope that you prosper. As I said before, and I will say it again, you could have simply kept this idea to yourself instead or airing it to the public here and avoided an opportunity to spill stupid all over yourself in regards to your negative comments to the guys in the trenches of the Air Force.

Good luck in your money-making project.

Funny thing about morals, they are your opinion. Mine happen to differ. A difference between you and I is that I don't expect others to be the same as mine. Let me get this straight about your FS ad. You are asking for more than the car is worth due to rarity? It certainly isn't demand. But it is OK for you to do it and not others to do the same. Got it. Thanks for clearing that up.

Lastly, say I sell the R for $85K. That really isn't skyrocketing the price based on what is currently out there for sale. So again, tell me how what you are doing is different. If your car was listed at as good of a deal as you want others to believe, would it be on the market for 60+ days without a buyer?

Hmmmm...

Personally, I think you're an idiot.

The Boss is priced appropriately and I personally know of a Pilot Production that just sold for a lot more. Some people understand history and exclusivity and it will sell, just not to you, which is fine n dandy by me.

Lastly, sell the R for whatever you wish... I could care less. My premise is that you didn't have to come on here and do what you have done. While doing so you have also belittled many servicemen in the process.

Have a fine day... I certainly do hope your R is an R, and that you are not being sold up the river cause I want you to get your profit. You deserve it.

 

[RaceRedGT350]

Ok, please explain how you don't see what you and I are doing as being the same.

You said yourself that some people understand history and exclusivity. Is there not history and exclusivity behind the GT350R? I also can clearly see people selling their R for much more than I am looking to get out of mine.

The fact of the matter is that the MSRP(this is not the actual value of the car) is to low for the demand on the R model car. Hell, a lot of Gt350's have sold for more than the MSRP of the R.

It is incredibly hypocritical of you to even have an opinion of someone selling a car for more than the documented value as you are doing just that. And you are doing it on a Mustang enthusiast site.

I originally came on here asking if anyone had any experience with I want to do. You took it upon yourself to attempt to get to a moral high ground, when you are doing the very same thing. I am not saying your Boss is not worth what you are asking. I am saying you are trying g to sell it for more than the published value by both KBB and NADA.

You perceive value based on your experience with the market and the "rarity" of the car. I think the same about the R. The military stuff is laughable. I am a veteran and have served a significant portion of my adult life in the middle east, directly supporting the warfighter. The character attacks are yet another example of your hypocrisy. Anyone reading can clearly go back and read your initial comment calling me a douche. It was unwarranted and unnecessary. It is certainly not the way a uniformed service member should conduct themselves, but you already know that.

 

[DrumReaper]

This is my last response to your trivial drivel.

Thanks for your service in the Middle East. Toot your horn, but you slammed servicemen, and then had the nerve to say that the Air Force did nothing for your work ethic. You're a great, shinning example of what I don't work with in my unit. Glad you don't have my six.

As for my Boss... I own the car. I have enjoyed and driven the car. It's time to pass that along to make room for my R. As I said before, my car is perfectly priced in the market. There are a few on Autotrader and Autabuy that are priced higher than mine with more miles. Ever who buys my 13 Boss will be getting an excellent piece of history, which by far, is extremely much more rare than mine or your R.

You haven't even got a car to buy yet but you wish to "auction" the theory of the car... The proposed car doesn't even have a VIN yet.. Not even a DORA, unless you procured that at your recent meet with the dealer. So, I am not doing the same scummy crap you are.

When I bought my Boss, I paid the premium for a Pilot Prodcution car... I am now selling the car at less than value of it. Hell, you don't even know what the value of the car is... No one does. So, just worry about making your scut deal of making money off someone because you want to because you feel the "market value" of the car is higher than what you will be obtaining it for. Whatever makes you sleep at night buddy.

Btw, "douche" was about the nicest thing I could possibly find for your kind. As I said before, good luck.

Too many personal attacks and arguments...closing.
