Re: Is it a bad time to sell?
Your originating post asked "what we think". We told you. Fix the negatives, sell the car

Re: Is it a bad time to sell?
And I thought the HAMB was a rough crowd! In fact, consider listing it over on the HAMB might be a plan as those guys aren't cheap!

Very succinct and very true ! If you do not want the valued opinions of A owners, then you should refrain from asking for such opinions. I've seen/read nothing here in this thread , but answers to what was askded for. Sometimes the truth in 'inconvenient' and bothersome , but that seems ever more the case in the world these days. Put a little sugar on it honey...maybe would sell a A quicker or make it purdier ? Heck, if it doesn't sell, keep driving it and having fun with it(soft top), in that rainy area. |

You asked for opinions: "Any advice will be appreciated." Looks like it is a buyer's market for Model A cars. |

Seems to be so...I believe we Model A owners are getting older and some are "thinning the collection" and downsizing. Also, there are plenty of A's out there.

Re: Is it a bad time to sell?
Yeah, list it on the HAMB, and in six months the "original Model A running gear" will be listed for sale and the body will be hacked up for a street/rat/hot rod!

But like Bill said, I'm sure people could pick apart (and they have, on here and elsewhere) if given the chance... Last edited by Y-Blockhead; 04-09-2018 at 05:19 PM. |

Re: Is it a bad time to sell?
Remember model T's. Model A's are next. Fewer buyers, mean lower prices.

Your right that A’s are next. The poorly maintained, worn out cars will be hard to or impossible to sell. But also do not forget that a Model A can be driven like a modern car. A Model T needs a different group of driving skills. Good T’s are in the low to mid teens, I think there are a lot of Model A owners that would be happy in that price range. |

Only takes one buyer. Send your ad to model A club in your area.

Re: Is it a bad time to sell?
The color, 19 inch wheels, and all the little details, and bolt of doodads all add up. Has anyone opened up their head on the step plate screws?

Re: Is it a bad time to sell?
I'm a younger guy, (23) and got a phaeton. I looked for over a year looking for roadsters and phaetons. Cars priced over 14k that were open seemed to take a lot longer to sell, whereas cars in the 8-12 range sold rather quickly (being open cars), atleast in my craiglist searches from jun 2016 to july 2017 in the east coast (virginia to maine) area. I saw a lot of decent stock tudors/coupes go for 5-7k. Some with pretty nice paint too.
I definitely think anyone wanting over 15k cash for a model a regardless of condition is gonna wait a while, not to take away anything from your vehicle. Also, craigslist in my opinion is filled with people that want a good deal. I got my car for 3500 less than the guy was asking, after it had been for sale for a little over 2 weeks. Hope I didnt offend you. Just mt $0.02 about what I know from buying and looking at Model As on craigslist. |

$5K buys you a decent Tudor??? Give me a break. What's "decent" to you? No bullet holes or trees growing out of it? The only way you'll get a quality car for that price is if the old boy selling has dementia and you take advantage of him. Paint, rust and sheet metal issues are a big deal unless you can do the work yourself. It costs many thousands of $ to turn decent into nice. Best to buy the nicest car your budget will allow rather than trying to save a couple of thousand $. I challenge anyone who thinks the asking price for this car is too much to find another one in better condition for under $20K. Of course, it must be a cabriolet otherwise you're comparing apples and oranges. There are 300+ Model As on Hemmings alone, so you should be able to find 2 or 3 cars if what you believe is correct.
