I got this letter today from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District offering to buy my Six.....I wonder if negotiating with them would be beneficial?

You may have to take the offer before they make it illegal to own it anymore.

Tell you'll consider it if they add a couple more zeros.

Posted by: billh1963 Jan 21 2020, 04:19 PM

I'll give you $1,001

Because, I'm generous like that

It’s already smoggy in so cal. I will give you a $1,000 for it and save you the trouble. Lol

I appreciate the generous offers. If the State would have offered me a 246 Dino GTS in exchange I might have considered it. Short of that, not.

take a shit in the front seat and I will give you $15k, you ship to ny. deal?

Posted by: DickSteinkamp Jan 21 2020, 06:32 PM

The guy with the 246 Dino probably got the same letter.

It is probably a good idea for a percentage of the folks that receive that letter. $1,000 is far more than they would get anyplace else.

Better take it before they confiscate it or make you an offer you can’t otherwise refuse.

Michael, it has to be in “running” condition to qualify. Hell, even the State of California has been following your built thread and is will to pay to see it complete.

OMG...those Sacto politicians are so disconnected (well except for Willie Brown, a Porsche guy) from car culture . Remember the last Pres with Cash for Clunkers ? I actually tried to turn in my late Dad's 1981 Caddy with 30k miles on it...the Feds turned us down !! Turns out it sold for top dollar on Auto Trader.
One of these days I'll just build a home with a track going around it...you're all invited to run your teeners (pipe dream)

Any car that drives and runs well enough to pass smog is worth more than $1000 all day long. What are they smoking?

When this shuts down someone request a performance review.

So they think a car that's not running yet is polluting more than people crapping in the streets....gotta love SF

yup crazy california!

Too bad my 145 914 wrecks are not out there! at 1000 each it adds up!

The Guv should actually hire on another Califirnia committee to do just That and locate their new office in a caboose of his Cali Crazy Train ; it's stationary as you know / -o- emissions

Guys - can we please keep this forum politics free.

Not helpful to make assumptions and erroneous assertions.

Posted by: Johny Blackstain Jan 22 2020, 11:46 AM

I must have the mind of a criminal; I put myself in the shoes of the guy who's supposed to destroy the car after the ridiculous buyback & I can't see myself pushing the button. I can see myself going to elaborate extremes to save any keeper, such as a 914-6, and stashing it someplace & lying & saying it's now toast

Hi Thomas ...hope to see you this week over in Glendale (parts pick-up) ; don't take the L.A. River bike path...NOT kidding
I had to Dodge these on my weekend ride

Sorry guys.

I think this is getting just a bit too political.
