True. Why I'm selling. Been a long, expensive battle for 3 years with most of them years in the shop. And when out of the shop, something fails they installed and right back into the shop for more months. I'm done.
if you're tapping out, you're tapping out. i get it.
understand, a few things here though: if it's not running well, it's gonna be a tough sell and what you paid for anything or to anybody has exactly zero-point-zero bearing or effect on that.
second point: we all know you dropped buckets full of cash here. don't go into selling this thinking that you're going to recoup all that dough. you'll be lucky to get about half back out. this will be magnified by all the short comings: leaky tank, poor running, a rattle or a squeak that's funky.
third point: when you go to sell, be as honest and transparent as possible. while i know it's a kick in the teeth, ultimately being forthright and upfront will move a car faster.
final point: if you can rope somebody in to help you out or find somebody that actually knows their *** from a hole in the ground this would pay tremendous dividends. either they help you get the car sorted so you can enjoy it, or they help you iron out some of the problems and that enables you to sell the car easier.
