Might help someone decide if you mention mileage and which engine...

Looks okay. You should take it on a trip to Nova Scotia.

No sell, only buy!

If someone here is interested, I'm willing to negotiate a little on the price.

I'm getting sick of dealing with the low ballers, no-shows, and other time wasting 'tards from CL and FB. Hard to believe that as expensive as vehicles are today that not a single person has shown up to look at it yet.

$1500 sounds like a steal for a van that would pass inspection.

List it for $2500 or $3000 and youll probably have no issue selling it quickly. Always ask for more than you want, any human will just stupidly assume its worth the extra asking price.

Human psychology. If you see a wrench for $25 at harbor freight, you might consider buying it. However, if the exact same wrench is $50 and on sale for 50% off, our primitive ape brains will make us much more inclined to buy it because it must be a nicer wrench, and it's a **** of a deal that we dont wanna miss.
Add to that the fact that people want to haggle and will feel rewarded or like theyre getting a steal just because they smooth talked you down.

The rust in the rockers would likely be an issue with inspection. It would depend on who is looking at it.

Not with the tightwad chiselers around here. If I did that, it would really sit until it rots into the ground. There is a decent GC on CL with no rust in the rockers, but has a little body damage. It's been on there for a while now. They are down to $800, and said nobody has actually showed up to look at it yet.

This is how it almost always goes, no matter what I try to sell or for how much. I usually just get tired of dealing with the idiots, pull the ads, and keep whatever I'm trying to sell or just dispose of it another way.

well, it's summer and inop a/c is not the most attractive feature...
don't waste too much of your time, tell them to come at look at it and get a commitment on day and specific time that's within 24hrs of contact.

With the car market today, for less than $1500, they are lucky they are getting something that is complete and runs at all.

Yeah, that hasn't worked out so far.... I've cussed out two people that made arrangements to come look at it, didn't, and didn't even have the decency to call or message to say they weren't going to show up.

Ask more , and put up a weak resistance to haggling. Your not just selling the van, youre selling the deal of a lifetime here.

"No, $1500 is too low, I wont go below $2000."
1 hour later:
"The other buyer had car trouble, the wife is really up my a** to get rid of it this weekend, if youre here before 8pm its your's for $1500"

I'm telling you, you don't know the cheap ass people around here. If it's not a Jeep, a side by side, a diesel pickup, etc..... they won't open their wallets. And, I'm just not into playing those games. Most of the messages I've gotten have been the immediate "I've got $700 I can give you". My response to most of them has been "I've got a you know what that you can suck, too." 🖕

If I was willing to accept that kind of money, I could hack the cat off, swap the aluminum wheels out for the steelies, take them in for scrap, and drive it to the junkyard.

Unless someone wants this van for parts or a major project I would skip it all together.

I was poking and prodding at the rocker panels and rear dog legs, and they are BAD. I am either going to scrap it or park it in the garage at the house we are working on and getting ready to move into until I get around to doing something with it. I already took that CL and FB ads down. Even if someone actually did show up to look at it, one look at the holes you can stick your arms in, and it would be bye bye.

At this point, if someone here wants it, I'd take $1000. Maybe less.

 

[beat_truck]

$800 Takes it.

I'd rather see someone do something with it than have it sit or go to the bone yard.
