Very interesting.

Could you confirm the price please (I'm not buying - just moderating).

10,000 US Dollars?

[jyrkey]

Sorry, the price is 6000$
I made a mistake

[jyrkey]

no.
Just grey

The wheels on the silver one are soooo wrong.

That looks like a really solid and great car! Such an interesting design with the inboard lights and large grill panel. It's lovely.

Good luck with the sale.

I'm all for being polite on here but let's be honest with the seller and say that this would not be worth £3,800 in the UK plus transport costs from Ukraine.

But your not selling it. The seller is. He can ask however much he wants for it. No one is obliged or forced to buy it.

Only the seller can set the price according to what he/she thinks it's worth or what it's worth to them.

Simple answer, if it's overpriced, it won't sell.

Regardless of what it's worth, I really like it. It's funky.

The way I read it is he's asking 6000 Ukrainian Hryvinas for it which is approx. £470 at todays rate.

I'm guessing the $ sign is the nearest equivalent to their sign which is the same but reversed.

It's amazing what a couple of minutes searching can find.

Then don't buy it. Cairyhunt's reply is spot on.

Hths.

I specifically asked the seller (above) if the price was 6000 US Dollars in an effort to find this out. His reply wasn't exactly definitive. It would be wrong to assume what the seller meant, I too had spent a couple of minutes searching on Google...hence me asking the question.



Jyrkey, please confirm the currency. 6000 US Dollars or 6000 гривня?

[bobbylondon]

sweeet, Good luck with the sale bro. =)

[tigran]

6000 US would not be that mental. Any soviet stuff from the 50/60's in Russia sells for five figure sums.

Awesome car. If it turns out to be in local currency I will be hitching a trailer up to the Pajero tomorrow morning.

You'd think the chap would have the right symbol on his keyboard if the Ukranian currency was intended...and if our computers are incapable of showing it I don't think it would randomly pick a dollar symbol instead.
