I never quite understood why everybody trying to sell their cars, seem to love omitting any and all information about it.

If you want the thing to sell... you'll need a few things.

1) A ballpark figure.. even if it's high, something to haggle on.. not listing a price will make people skip over your listing.
2) Mileage! This is very important. If it's high mileage.. you *should* include any and all work that you did on the engine.
3) Photos will definately help. A cheap digital camera can be bought for under $100.. and can be used for things besides selling your car, too. Definately a good investment. Besides, photos are the next best thing to physically seeing the car.

When you provide the above things.. you can bet that your vehicle will sell for a better price.

I wasn't referring to your ad, alone. I meant that generally, quite a few people who try and sell their cars here, usually omit key information that would get it sold.

scargo70 · #10 11-21-2005, 11:43 AM

And you have to love the people who don't include there location in their signature. Location is very important when buying

The link associated with this car, states the asking price is 32,000 dollars. Im not a MB expert by any means, but come on, are you serious??????. I was thinking more in the 10-15k range, am I the fool?

milhan · #13 11-21-2005, 06:38 PM

The Kelly Blue book price for this car, with this mileage, in excellant condition is $13,500. thats a little lower than your $32,000 asking price

KBB is a joke. Any generic price guide could never nail down a value on a specialty car. The best way to figure a price is to find comps -- hard to do with a low mi car, but there are a few around.
