I can't sell my car !!! I put it on ebay twice and only got a few bids on it. I was asking $6000 for it and now I am going to get a company to sell it for me , it's going to cost me $200 just to have them sell it. Why do you think it didn't sell on ebay ? I put the miles of the car (195,000) and then the miles on the new motor (3,000). What should I do to sell this car, I need the money to buy a 01 Z06. HELP !!!

Ebay?
What do the vette 'Completed listings only' look like? What are they going for? Or are they all 'Reserve not met'? |

The C4 is still too new and there are too many of them left to be rare/collectors cars.
You car has almost 200K on it, and 6000 dollars is unrealistic. Maybe in about 10 years it will be a 6 k car. If you need 6k from it parting it out may be an option if you have CHERRY parts to sell that are in demand. Mike |

I am in a similar situation with my '88(but mine is not as nice as yours appears to be.)
There is just not too many people interested in C4s right now. I hear this all the time. I have debated parting it out, but it would take a lot of man-power to pull each piece off and ship. I would be lucky to get $3000 for mine the way it sits. |

The market for most things is pretty flat right now. Now if you had a certain '63 Pontiac LeMans....
I've got a lot of parts I want to sell but I'm going to wait until after Christmas and until income tax time before I pursue it very much. Maybe your car will move then too, it only takes one impulse buyer. But you'll probably also have to drop the price some, realistically. |

Whoa, hold your horses. What company are you paying to sell it for you?
MOST of those "companies" are actually scams that front as a listing/loan brokering/advertising service. They prey on people who advertise in the local classifieds. Don't be fooled by a slick webpage and a fast talker on the phone. |

Economy + miles = a lot of competition in the selling arena.
Not a good time to sell anything, great time to buy a truck though. Good luck, hope it works out for you |

I have my 86 that I am getting ready to list. I haven't been in too big of a rush to sell it, as everyone has stated, the market sucks. But, I would like to get mine sold and out of the driveway. Having 4 cars on insurance and being unemployed right now, I could use the $$$ and the insurance savings.
BTW...you will love the Z06! At times I miss my 01 Z06...but then I get in my 08 LS3 and quickly forget about it. |

to be honest, the Orlando area should be easier to sell the Vette in than the area that Mojo is in.

A friend of mine trying to sell his truck had the exact same problem..... what he ended up doing was offering the buyers a payment schedule over a year or two, but only offered it to a local buyer who had a home..... he sold it in a single day. He sold the truck for his asking price of 8k and got paid $ 600 a month until paid off. He kept the title, but gave posession to the buyer.... thats all I know about the transaction. You don't get your money all at once, but you do get paid for it.
I think your 92 is easily worth 6k.... even with the high miles. If you have a running LT-1, that isn't dumping a quart of oil every time you start it up.... it should be worth that much in my opinion. Then again, I think the Kelly Blue book would shed some light on it better than me. good luck ! |

Have your buddy borrow it and call the insurance company and say it was stolen, tell the insurance company it had 30,000 miles on it and they should pay you $8500. While your buddy is in Mexico sell it again to some mexican for $2500.
