WOW, I'm sure glad the guy I bought my 96 STS from didn't think that way! I have a "blue-collar" job, but am still a car enthusiast who happened to fall in love with that particular body style. I looked around and spent some time searching for the nicest condition, lowest mileage and best optioned car I could find for the money. I definitely appreciated the "fine luxury car" I purchased back then and still do. Here's a suggestion: treat the prospective buyer like you would someone applying for a position at your business. You could have them fill out an application stating why they would be a good owner and have them list all their references for past vehicle purchases. You could then spend your time going over all the applications, contacting the references, conducting interviews,.......or better yet, just sign the title over to the first person who has cash in hand as long as it's not your neighbor or your brother-in-law!!!
