Thinking about selling my 1954 chevy. Runs great got new rims & tires, original motor, 12 volt system, gray paint looks good. What can a person expect to get for this truck. I know what NADA tells, which is about $12000 for avg retail up to $23000 for the sure enough good looking truck. Would like to know best way to sell and how to list and how to price.
I'm sorry for you... If it was a G you could get twice that much! E-PAY? Why do you want to sell your ride? That's just sick~
Reality Check $12,000.00 is for a clean low milage _correct_ restoration needing no work . By the $20,000.00 mark it'll have to have under 20,000 original miles , original matching numbers engine , tires and be heavily optioned . The truck you've described is worth from $10.000.00 DOWN and the price drops rapildy if any rust in the cab corners or poorly repaired etc. . Not trying to burst your bubble here but some of those price guides are soley to help speculators try and drive up the market . A better idea is to look at local newspapers and auction _results_ , never the beginning bids nor reserve prices that didn't sell . 54's are a breed apart , think hard before parting with a good one . I'd think Fleay-Bay , spend some $ and take LOADS of pictures , some up in the air with good lighting all the way around , NO SHADOWS ~ move the truck repeatedly as you're taking pix , have additional lighting etc. Paying the extra to Flea-Bay for better posting , more pix and so on ,pays off big time . now is the right time of year in spite of the crummy economy .
Around here, you can't give away a modern truck (gas mileage/ gas prices). I don't know how the toy market is. My guess is that this is a bad time to sell a toy. Do you have to sell now?....I'd wait and see if the economy pics back up/ people get used to things.
