Tough Economy = Burb on the Market?

[jeffg1010]

Well, I may have picked a bad time to be starting a business. But over the past year, that's what I've done. So, it has been slowly coming around and business is picking up, but I am facing the inevitable. If I want to get back in the black, I need to make some changes.

And those changes may come in the form of a "For Sale" sign on the Burb. A few weeks back, I picked up a Toyota Camry to absorb some of the daily driving duties and I got a Blazer a couple months back to fulfill my old car needs.

But, if I want to get my company on track, I think I need the capital.

So... what do ya think it's worth?

I've had it on the road since February of 2010. When I bought it a lot of the hard work was done. The body swap/paint/body/and all electronics were functional. I just finished it up. AND made it practical at the same time.

It's a great truck, and I HATE to get rid of it, but if I ever want to have anything for my kids, this is a change I have to make.

To give you an idea of it's dependability...
Over the summer, it pulled our 30' camper to Myrtle Beach, SC twice, Asheboro Campground twice and Mocksville once. It also made the 11 hour trip to West Palm Beach last January, and it's going to make that trip again this coming Sunday. It'll go ANYWHERE and I trust it would have no problems. I think I put around 13,000 miles on it last year. In my opinion, this is the perfect daily driver because it fits the family, is nostalgic and draws attention everywhere it goes. You can show it at cruise in's or big shows. It's carried home it's fair share of trophies. But at the same time, it'll haul the mower, the boat, the camper or even a Bobcat if necessary. It is just DAMN cool.

I am gonna throw out a few of the mods and I would prefer if you PM me your opinion of it's value.

-and I custom built the headliner. And it also has trailer light hookup and trailer brakes. The only thing that really needs done is the interior was never painted. It needs sanded and painted. It's white, but it was not a good job.

So... a few pics. (and yeah, if I sell this one, I am certain the maroon one is next, it's my dads)



















So... let me know. Like I said, I'd prefer PM's

haha, Geoff. I've had the auction listing completed for 2 days, open as a tab in the background on my screen and I haven't hit "LIST YOUR ITEM" I even went back twice and raised the price, thinking "if it doesn't sell..." We'll see what happens over the next couple of weeks.
I could sure get one heck of a start on that Blazer if I sold it though...
