Default Re: What's up with this? (selling car)

I wouldn't buy a car from e-bay with your money - but e-bay isn't the problem here.

As Unit stated, your 'investment' into a classic Mustang willl not automatically equate to what a potential buyer might pay for the car. The fact that it's not a rusted-out wreck is not all that impressive ; it's a fairly 'common' '65 Mustang with the low-end engine and it's been well-restored. That's great -but not $20,000. great.

The classic car 'pool' of potential buyers is very small and very selective. A guy with 20 large to spend on what is going to amount to a 'toy' is simply not going to fall in love with the first run-of-the-mill restored '65 he sees ..whether it's on e-bay or in your front yard with a hand-printed sign in the windshield.

Besides, you sound as if you are pretty half-hearted about parting with your '65, anyway, and will only do so if you think you'll make a big profit.

Keep the car...you'll be happier.
