Am I crazy to sell?

[JayRolla]

So my 3rd gens been sitting for 2 years. Fuel pump failed. Swapped the pump with a Walbro 190lph and and didn't start for some reason and didn't have time to diagnose. Someone offered me $2500 and I said $3k firm. He is coming to look now.

1996 Limited, no locker with 288k miles. Needs no start issue fixed, timing belt, water pump and maybe a brake master cylinder to be good to go. AOR bumper, hood and left fender needs painted. Ripped leather seats. Other than that pretty clean.

high mileage and it doesn't run.. but that bumper is worth 1k at least!... get it running and you could fetch 2x that number.

 

[Endlessblockades]

Yes. The nice men be over soon with a special jacket that will prevent you from signing any documents shortly.......

I'm curious to know your reasons why, other than the fact that it needs work done. Not trying to get personal, just curious. But some things to consider:

- current market/inflation
- do you need the money for something else
- why not keep it and continue working on it
- if it gets fixed, you could use it as your daily/grocery getter
- I wouldn't sell it
- please don't sell it
- keep it forever

The money will go towards my 2013 CTS-V to bring it to around 700whp.

Tired of working on it. Have a 2012 Tacoma that I built for wheeling.

Have a clean 2000 Honda Accord for daily grocery getter but it's my daughter's new car.

I really want to fix it and keep it but no time to touch it.

That's a good deal. The issues you listed are straight forward fixes and that's before you consider the mods. Normally non-working vehicles are sold with no idea of what is wrong, so people will ask for a lower price since they could get screwed on fixes.

Since yours seems to have straight forward fixes, and a good frame it's an easy purchase at that price. A 4wd 4runner in the coastal states with no rust would sell for about that and that's not even considering the mods. They sell replacement leather upholster for 4runners, so someone with the smallest amount of DIY could make it a nice vehicle for say 2400 at most. To make an equivalent vehicle would cost much more than what your asking plus the fixes

Your crazy :crazy: but you do you. Hopefully they treat it well.

I'd say if it is just going to sit indefinitely might as well move it on. Not like you can't find another 3rd gen if you want to get back into the chassis at some point.

 

[rdruss]

Sell it and go, you've obviously lost interest in it, so unless you want to spend the time trying to get a few more $$$ sell it and go.

 

[Endlessblockades]

At least pull the bumper with winch and lights. Knock 300 off the price if you have to and save or sell the bumper and winch combo for 1700. The wait time on AOR bumpers has been very long historically and I'm sure someone would pony up.....just a thought.

I think your crazy. Fix it before you sell it. You'd probably collect double at least.

Market is softening...... finally.

I mean, if you just don't care, and it doesn't matter anyways. But if it's a question of time versus money, man, I would at least kick it over to a shop and let them get it running before you sell it.

This is my thoughts as well. It's obvious that time is a big factor and you've moved on to other projects. But at least throw it at a shop and let them fix it, it would be a fraction for what you'd get extra for a running vehicle.

PS shoulda sold it 1.5 years ago when the used car market was insane!

 

[Bad Luck]

Even if you have to pay someone to fix it you will most likely make the repair cost and much more back by selling it as running and driving. In my area if that was running/driving it would be $8000-$9000 easy.

Rust Free vehicles go for a premium in the rust belt like a few thousand over average pricing because of their condition. At least in this area. Granted, it has to be the correct buyer.

Well I feel the universe is giving me a sign. Can't find the main keys. Just the spare ignition key and fob. Battery is dead and can't unlock it. I left hood unlatched so I could jump it in the future but for some reason it's closed. Went to find title and it's no where to be found. Go to DMV this morning to get the title and realize it's under my wife's name and they would not give me a duplicate. Haha.

Your 4Runner is doing all that it can to stay with you. I think it's love.

Dont sell it just yet unless you are starving or your house is about to foreclose.

Now use your tax return to get it running, drive it for a week. Then decide if you want to keep it or not.

You'll get way more money if you sell it, or you might decide you want to keep it, its a win-win either way.
