Title: Need some advice
Post by: LowThudd on December 20, 2009, 11:07:08 AM
I decided to sell my 73 Gran Torino. I put it up for $2200 because I couldn't find anything to compare it to online. But I got two e-mails within 5 hours and now I am wondering if I put it in too low. What do you think?

Worth is relative. You picked you're asking price, and you're getting it-I would be happy with that.


Ten years? Time to get rid of it anyway.

Really simple:

Take it off the market, and in a week, put it back on for more.

Time is money.  Would you rather sit on it for 1 year with no calls?  I figure if you are selling something you no longer want, it is better to sell it low and be done with it than try and dink around for a long time trying to get above the value.

I agree, be happy if you get your asking price and don't second-guess yourself.

Also don't count it sold until it is...remember how flaky buyers on CL can be.

I would be extremely satisfied to get $2200 for that Gran Torino. Take it.

i think thats a fair price.  in my neck of the woods (northern wi) it would go for a little bit more due to what looks like a lack of cancer but not too much more

+1

My Dad had a nearly identical '73 from Arizona with only 54,000 miles that he only got $2500 or so for a couple years ago. It only needed a repaint of the front clip due to sandstorm damage.

I recently saw a cherry '73 Sportsroof go for under $6000 on eBay last week.

If you can get your price for yours, take it and run.
