Selling strategy

[Greg Young]

Hi everybody - Have been silent for a long time now.

Back in '07 we bought a 1986 PT40 from Dan & Cindy Sunderland.  For the next couple of years we were full time in it.  Now it has been sitting for a couple of years with only occasional use.  We no longer see it as a major part of our future so would like to sell it.  I'm starting the process by asking for advice.


The fundamental question is how much effort to put into it before putting it on the market.  The drive train is in very good shape, but there are a few dinks and scratches and probably a couple of thousand $ of deferred maintenance, plus a few electrical problems.  My thinking is that I am better off listing the deficiencies clearly in my ads, and pricing it accordingly, than holding back an allowance for negotiating and work to be done, or putting a lot of effort and money into it now and pricing it higher.  Pros/cons?


Thanks!
