starquest34 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hey guys! I'm thinking about sellling my Orange Crush. It's an 88 custom paint, cowl hood, with black cloth interior. It's got a new stereo with new speakers.Re- manufactured ADK engine with stock turbo and stock exhaust, hard pipes with powdercoated valve cover, short throw shifter, side louvers. I also have 4 factory mud flaps for it. This car has been in one MOPAR magazine. HAS POLISHED 9 INCH REAR 7 INCH FRONT RIMS. What do you guys think I should ask for it? Thanks for your help!

WideBody Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 My professional opinion is that, although the car appears to be in great shape and it's got newer/stuff - anything replaced counts as a loss for the seller. Say the car would be worth $3,000 right now bone stock in mint condition. Well all your $10,000 in mods means nothing other than the buyer is getting a better looking / hopefully better running car for $3,000. Any money you put into a vehicle is not an investment, rather an expense and should be considered as such. Wanting a a certain price, and getting a certain price are two different things. With that being said, and myself having put a couple hundred thousand dollars into my automobiles and losing mostly all of it when I get bored with the cars and sell them - I'd say ask $4,000 or best offer because unless you find a well off young buyer with money burning a hole in their pocket that cars going to take for ever to sell for any more than 4K or best. Listing the vehicle on places where buyers have funds ready is helpful, such as ebay. I know it sucks to pay ebay fees, and people want to pay less on there but if you are going to find the right buyer for your masterpiece - you need a huge audience. Good luck with the sale!

Starquester_0224 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 (edited) A lot of what Widebody said was echoed by a mod in another forum I belong to. When you put a lot of time & money into a car, you always expect others to appreciate it when you go to sell it. What is one mans meat is another's poison, so the roll cage you fabricated and would cost several thousand to replace is an inconvenience to someone else that sees it as being in the way to get in & out. You'd probably do better on Autotrader or Ebay, as you'll find a wider audience to find that right/unique buyer, albeit at the expense/trouble of having to relist when the winning bidder doesn't pay. Finally one in this part of the USA! BTW, does the AC work? Edited August 4, 2008 by Starquester_0224 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in no big hurry to sell but the AC does work so maybe that would help out... I'm really only sellingnso that I can get money to invest in my arrow! P.S....MPI setup! Thanks, Tony!
