Thanks guys. This is what I was thinking too but wanted to hear from the masses. Of course they call it "primetime" on Sunday simply because Speed channel coverage is for 4 hours that day. I was hoping for a Fri or Sat night spot.

Well, actually I was hoping for a Wed 12 noon spot so it would be easy to immediately say NO THANKS!

Thanks for all the input guys.

Have a safe Turkey Day wherever you all are!

It is going to be hard to get a Friday or Saturday prime time spot. The auction has a lot of heavy duty stuff rolling through. My friend that runs a lot of cars there submitted 30 cars and had what I thought was at least 4 Saturday Prime timers, 4 more Friday Primetimers and the rest at least Thursdays. They gave him 8 Fridays and the rest were Tuesday / Weds. And this is someone that runs a lot of cars, ran our for us. If he cannot get smokin numbers, it will be hard to improve your Sunday number being mister new guy with one car.

But as stated, Thursday, Friday, Saturday (no way) or no go! However IF you could get Thursday / Friday, I am 100% convinced you WILL get the maximum amount the car is worth. Weather that number is what you want, that may be different, but you will get what it is worth.

I have talked to Chris and my car has a couple things that DQ me.

Thanks for all the great advice and info guys, especially on Thanksgiving!

Frank, I was hoping you would see this and chime in as I know you just went thru this in Vegas. Thanks for the words, and I agree with you if I got a good slot I would not be giving the car away.

I'll ask them Monday for a REAL primetime slot, and see what they say. I will probably say no and just ebay it and put it up on the mentioned sites (thanks for the Hot Rod Hotline tip - did not know of that one) when I am ready.

Darnit, I am full.

Dave, it looks like all the signs are pointing towards "Don't do it" at the moment. I would certainly follow up on the other leads in terms of where to sell. Don't invest more money that won't profit you.

I agree, don't give away your car for an adrenalin rush. I have the Chevelle for sale & am looking at using Ebay & Hot Rod Hot Line, also Cars-On-line. Good Luck on your sale.

Thanks and that sucks what happened to you. But I have not signed anything that locks me in to anything. I would never have signed anything without an offered time slot.

I am pretty certain I will be saying no them next week when they say no we cannot move you to Fri or Sat primetime.
