Caddynut Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 I have had my 92 Seville out in my front yard for about 3 months now and have gotten 2 calls and no return customer. I guess the gas prices have a lot to do with it. My neighbor has a 1995 Nissan Sentra that is butt ugly and it sold. Crazy. I am asking $2,200 for it...think it is too much?? It has 156,000 miles and a couple of rust spots on the bottom. That is it. 2008 BMW 328xi 2007 Chrysler Aspen 2001 Cadillac Seville STS 2000 Ford Ranger XLT1998 Mitsubishi Spyder Convertible 1996 Saturn SC-11991 Ford F-1501979 Chevrolet Caprice1968 Ford LTD1965 VW Beetle "Herbie The Love Bug Replica** 1961 VW Beetle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIRE CHANGER IF you have not figured it out yet there are a couple of ways to get the bead to seal 1 -is to get a rope or one of those ratchet straps and install it around the center of the tire and tighten it good that should do it IF not get a can of starting fluid pray the inside of the tire with it then hook the air to the valve Then toss a match on the bead and it should pop up and seal I know its not the safest thing but i have done it on many types of tires and its never failed yet just be carefull gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Put it on ebay with a $1000 reserve and just get whatever you can and be done with it. The cost of maintaining insurance cuts into the bottom line so it doesn't pay to keep it unless it's still being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 If you have a local craig's list that can be helpful. A local autotrader type magazine that takes inexpensive ads can be worth it if it brings over customers. Also, parking the car with a forsale sign in a high traffic location that allows or tolerates car sales can get more eyes on it.

Cadillac Jim Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Back before the Internet and the roadside distributed used-car lot, people put ads in the paper to sell cars.

BodybyFisher Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Its gets to the point also were people are not interested in cars that are perceived to guzzle gas, have high mileage and that are old. I sent my 91 with 125K on it to the scrap yard.

I used a newspaper ad to sell my old Park Avenue last summer. Kevin '93 Fleetwood Brougham '05 Deville '04 Deville 2013 Silverado Z71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCat83 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I'm going to be trying to sell my wife's '98 Explorer soon. Now I see what I'll be up against - it's the AWD 5.0 V-8. We were going to drive it until the wheels fall off, however she wants a luxury car now so... We were looking at a used CTS but really don't want to spend 30 large for wheels. And I don't want to take care of another FWD Northstar...so it looks like it will be a mid-mileage '96-'97 Jaguar XJ6 (we'll NEVER drive Japanese). I've bought nice cars cheap for more than 20 years; always performed my own maintenence and repairs, thus cutting the cost of ownership to pennies on the dollar (gas and insurance).
