Re: [DML] How to sell a Delorean?

[Samuel <samuel_yahoo@xxxx>]

It is a semi-rare car. It wont sell quick. Everyone is looking for 
something slightly different. I tend to think that a car priced at 
almost $20k will take quite awhile to sell as most people dont have that 
type of money laying around, and some even prefer to get a $14k - $16k 
car that is good enough and upgrade it as they want. I assume you have 
pictures showing the car. Pictures are very useful in trying to sell a 
car, lots of pictures are even better as the car can be seen for all 
it's details. A number of people are turned away by mods or non standard 
things. Example a rear spoiler, writing on the car, ground effects, 
covers on lights, and anything else that is not ordinary.

Of course it is always difficult to estimate, from a buyer's side, 
wether a car is truely worth $20k or if they think the $15k car is close 
enough to perfect and any small things can be done. It will sell at some 
point, it may just take awhile. You figure your's has only been listed 
on dmcnew.com since 11/14, there are cars still listed back to May that 
are valid. Heck, the one I just purchased was listed for many months and 
was getting near the bottom of the list. The higher the cost, the longer 
it will take to sell, unless it is a real steal (selling a 200 mile, 
perfect car for $20k as an example).
