Thread: Putting a value of your car

Tweet

Each and all of the above. Every buyer could be looking for something different. Some would want a running car where they can finish the interior or the exterior themselves to make it uniquely theirs, others might want the car completely done, aka, a turnkey.

It would be rare for a car to sell at what it cost to build. Usually you can buy one for the parts price alone with only a little going towards labor. A 32 hiboy roadster might cost $50K to build but you may only get $35 to $40K out of it. Best bet is to look at a lot of different cars for sale (check all car sales websites and publications, such as Hemmings) and compare to what you got, adjust the price for somethings you got or don't got. You should also consider the kind of car that it is and the usability of the car in all markets. Set the price a little high and be open to negotiate down. Don't set to low otherwise, you have no place to go with negotiations. Some people just like to haggle price so they think that they are in control of the sale. Most times they are not.

Good Luck.
