I though about selling..now im thinking of cloning it.
I see a lot of high prices on ratty cars too. But asking isn't the same as getting. I look everyday online and the same cars sit forever and don't sell. Some have been sitring there for years on facebook marketplace,offerup,etc.. A lot of times people won't even make an offer on something if the price is too high because they feel the seller is just going to be unreasonable.
I go to FB Marketplace and bookmark cars I have an interest in or just what to see what the market might be doing as for actually selling. Then I can check back every week, month, 3 months, 6 months, whatever and see what was marked sold, Sure that does not tell me what it sold for, just that it sold. It gives a person an idea opd whjat models are actually selling for what the ask price was.
If a car is obviously overpriced and just came on the market, and I am interested in it, I bookmark it and see if it is still for sale in a month or so. I will never call the seller in a car that is stupidly priced for what it is..
As time marches on, I see fewer and fewer hobbiest, in general, that have any basic knowledge of mechanicals. So many people out there today, be it buying or selling, have NO idea about a car other than it starts and runs. It makes it harder to sell a classic. And for people to feel safe in buying an older car.
OK so I understand the world is full of people wanting to sell off a car for whatever reason, but.... the would seems to be full of scammers and liars these days. Makes it hard on the classic car hobby!
