selling my maverick

It's just hypocricy. Many of us would simply never pay $20K for a Maverick, but it's so interesting how some of these people can give you a hard time about your asking price for your car in this forum, as long as they don't do the same thing in the Classifieds forum, yet I get ridiculed for telling someone that their asking price for a rearend is too much, because it is not "polite". Hmm...just how polite are these people being to you now? Total hypocricy. :16suspect

On another note; you can ask whatever you want, and if you don't get your asking price, you don't have to sell it. I want $25,000 for My Maverick, and it still needs some work. I don't have to sell it. Either pay my price, or move on...

 

I say take it to Barrett Jackson as a no reserve sale and you will see what it is worth to the people that are driving the market to what it is today.

 

Okay, well my advice is to look at how much money you have invested in the car, and estimate how much it would cost someone to build one of similar quality, then base your asking price on that...

 

Can you provide some examples? I don't recall the last time I saw a Maverick go for $22,000.

There is DEMAND for it. It is a desireable, sought after car. Just the same as my grandfather's four Boss Mustangs and various factory 428 CJ Mustangs are worth nice chunks of change. While Mavericks are great cars, they are not even in the same state as true Muscle cars right now, much less the same ball park. You really cannnot compare a Maverick to a sought after Muscle car.

Simply put, NO, it's not..

You can't really compare to other types of cars. Diffrent makes and models of cars go for diffrent prices. It's just a fact of life at this point in time that Mavericks are not up there with the rest of them.

You can ask $22,000 for it until the cows come home, I wish you all the luck in the world selling it, but you will not get that out of it. Prove me wrong...

 

It has nothing to do with being polite in my opinion. When someone posts something for sale in the classifeds, that is their classifed ad. They are saying I have "this" for sale and "this" is what I want for it. It is not a thread open for discussion beyond questions asked by those who are intrested in purchaseing the item. If you don't like it, then "move on", or send them a PM. I don't know how many times I have sent people PM's offering my opinion on their price. Sometimes they listen, sometimes they don't. But at the end of the day, the market will dictate the price. If they want to much for it, it will not sell and they will either be forced to lower the price or just not sell whatever it is.

It's not about criticizing someone's price, it's about not doing it on their classified ad.

Politeness on the internet seems to be in the eye of the beholder. My above reply to austin could be seen as not polite I suppose, but I do not mean it that way. I am simply trying to be helpful and offer my opinions on why his Maverick (or almost Maverick for that matter) is not currently worth $22,000. He seems to want to debate it, so we will debate it with him.

 

Although Jamie makes good points, I am not a Mustang fan, so those cars are not worth my time for comparison. So I think you should ask what you want untill it sells, keep droping the price till it does, or you decide you would rather keep it.

 

i am just wondering , is you maverick a 1 of 1 or something like that 1 of 10


most likly not....but its your car sell it at what you want


those challengers/cuda are so price cause most of them are extremely rare like 1 of 4 in such a color w/ a hemi and 4 spd so on and so forth


means there is only 4 of them in the world so it brings the money, plus they are muscle cars and thats what people what right now

we might have muscle in our mavericks but no to many people think of mavericks as a muscle car

 

I guess you're right, Jamie.

On another note, anyone who would pay that much for a '73 Challenger, has more money than brains...

 

this is very true but what will those cars be worth in 25 years....if they are 150,000 + now what will it be in the future


but if i was to go to something like Barrett jackson id buy something i can drive
i would never buy car and just look at it

most were built to run not sit and look at

like the ford gt most will just buy them and look at them
me i am goin to run the dick out of it its made to run so im goin to run the piss out it.

 

Exactly...Mav and Comet owners have more brains than money, LOL!
O, and Jamie IS right, and so is every one else that has remarked the same.

 

"I think" there will be a point where prices of muscle cars will start to decline. Give it 15 or 20+ more years. There will be a point demand starts to fall. The people who are running up prices now won't be around forever.

The ricers we like to joke about today will be the sought after cars of tomarrow...

 

very good point...

 

thanks for posting photos.

but one question?

you said

but i don't understand why you put factory marks on a car that is not obviously not factory or orginal. ok yeah its detail but your engine is nicely detailed... i don't think most if not almost all maverick owners or someone buying one would really care if it had a chalk mark with an X on the rearend. remember these are mavericks... people mistake them for pintos!

ok maybe i just don't get it? the only time i have ever seen someone so picky about factory marks (ok besides dan )are those snobby concourse people god forbid that happen to mavericks! (dan don't support the cause!)

explain i'm all ears!

 

i think what everybody is saying is that you cant polish a turd....

i love mavericks/comets wouldnt trade it for anything...

however the rest of the world look at our cars as turds
