What Its Worth

I'm selling my 2001 GMC Sierra and I am having a hard time finding out what to ask for it. Ok, so I know its not a mazda, but I'm selling it so I can buy another one. I miss my 87'. I need everyones help to see what, in their OPINION, they think that I could get for it. The following is a list of its stock features and custom work. To date I have spent over $50 000 Canadian or $43 000 USD in total on the truck.

-plus a bunch more shit that I've forgotten plus tons of new extra parts that I haven't got to put on and a ton of old stuff, but you get the picture

I have owned the truck since new only driving it to shows and cruises. It is basically brand new with a bunch of work done to it. It was built at one of Canada's top custom shops and has won many awards. This thing is clean, clean, clean in all regards and a perfect platform to get a really serious competition show truck going on, or just to cruise around and have some fun. Yea it lays full frame, but still has the plastic gas tank, so dragging hasn't been done. The frame is fully painted. Stored indoors, hardly seen rain (only when caught in it). What else can I say.

SO WHATS IT WORTH??? You tell me, then in a few days, I'll let you know what price I was thinking of.

i say 14,000

Really, $14 000. Even when it only has 8000 miles? It would cost you around $20K+ just to buy the truck new? I got the GM discount (GM desigm engineer's in the family) and it still cost me $23 800 Canadian or $20 400 USD (before freight, gas tax, administration fee's, more tax, tax on top of tax). I know that the price reflects the market, but really that low?

Unfortunately unless you find the right person that really wants it with all the work done, sometimes it is harder to sell a vehicle with work done to it. We all know what aour vehicle should be worth - and how much we put into it. Rarely can you ever expect to recover what you put into customizing a vehicle. That is why it is a labour of love ... I guess.

I understand that, but I was at least hoping to get half of what I put into it. Whenever you build a vehicle you have to understand that its not an investment, you are going to lose big. The thing is that I rarely sell my vehicles. This summer I sold my mazda, got an offer I couldn't refuse, and now this. I was going to list it for $28 and $25 would be the least that I would take for it. It is appraised at $40 before I did the last $3000 in work to it, which really finished it off. I like the feedback that I have gotten so far. It's giving me a chance to see this from different sides.

go to kbb.com and that should tell you how much its worth..

the only bad thing is who wants to spend 20,000 on a 4 year old truck regaurdless of what is done to it.
