Hello,
I have a 82 spider 2000, which I have owned for about 3 yeaars. Unfortuantely, I don't get a chance to drive it very much, therefore, I think it needs to find a good home. I need guidance on figuring an asking price. It has 82k miles and runs just fine. It does have automatic transmission, and also has a hard top. I will try to get pics posted soon. Anyway, any guidance from anyone on a fair asking price would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Pictures will help a lot.
This is a procedure that I have been developing for a little while on how to post pictures here in the Forum. Hope it is useful, and comments are always welcome.
HOW TO POST PICTURES IN FIATSPIDER.COM
Well that picture-posting thing sure is confusing. Took me forever to figure it out. Here is what I do:
First, you must post your pictures on photobucket.com or one of the similar competing websites. You can't post pics directly from your computer. So set up a free account there first. The instructions here reference photobucket.com.
Then in your FS.com post, look for the "Img" box at the top of the post, #9 from the left in the row of command icons.
Put the cursor where you want the pic to appear in the post (leave a few spaces after text is a good idea) and click the "Img" button/icon above.
Then go to the photobucket.com site (or competitor) and find your pic. Hover the cursor over the pic and a drop down menu will appear. Then click the "Direct Link" or similar button. In Photobucket, it will respond with a "copied" indication.
Go back to your FS.com post and make sure the cursor is EXACTLY in between the 2 Img boxes: [img](cursor%20in%20here)[/img] then right click and hit "paste" and the web link for the pic will show up in between the 2 img boxes. DON'T hit the IMG button a second time. MOVE your cursor out of the IMG info you just created before you hit enter.
Now when you post the post, the pic will be there!
Remember that if you delete the photobucket "master" pic, it will no longer appear in the posting here on FS.com
Also: there is a size limit to the pictures that can be displayed here, I think it is 750 pixels in width, someone correct me if I am wrong. So you may need to resize (typically downsize) the pics so that they fit properly and all of the pic is displayed and not cropped. What I do is really simple: I email the original picture to myself within AOL. AOL will automatically prompt you to see if you want the picture "optimized". Say "yes" and send this new pic to yourself. I then save it with a "small" addendum to the picture name and put this optimized picture up on photobucket. It works every single time like a charm.

Hello,
I have been out of town so much this summer, that I haven't been able to get with you to take a look at my 82 Fiat Spider, that I would like to sell. If there is anyway you could take a look at my car and help me with an asking price, I would truly appreciate it. I live in Tucker, at 4477 Doyle St. Thanks for your time. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.
