Ferrari Mailing List: Re: No Ferrari Content (NFC) Selling a Car - InconsideratePeople?

[LarryT (l02turner]

Hmmm... sounds reasonable.  I came up with the price by looking at other 
similar are selling for - a w'chair lift costs between $2k & $3K and I'm 
asking $4250.  Making the van only $1250-$2250.  For a full sized conversion 
van with 4 captains chairs, AC, power everything, - no leaks, recent 
services - new brakes, new Michelins, new state inspection,

I guess I'm at the point where it's worth more *to me* than what anyone else 
is evidently willing to pay.

Back to setting the price - most other full sized vans in the 88-92 time 
frame are priced at $4500-$5500 so I'm a little below most prices.

I guess I just haven't found the right buyer.  ;-)  Actually, if I didn;t 
need the money (and if it would work for him), I'd give the thing to the guy 
in the w'chair who looked at it (I drove to his house) - he is paralyzed 
from neck down and he lays down in the wleehchair making it longer than 
normal.  As such it needs more room to turn once in the van.  My lift took 
up too much space.  It'd be nice to help someone who needed it.

Anyway - I hear what you;re saying about the price - actually, now that I 
think about it, one guy asked if I'd come down to $3750 - I said come look 
at it and we'll talk - but I probably would. take it.

Thanks for the comments guys -
