My experience using saabnet Posted by Aerogenous [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Average retail price for '88 9000T?, Andre Shoumatoff, Thu, 8 May 2003 12:21:06 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I sold my 88 9kt (165k miles, manual) on saabnet last December. I'm in L.A. so the car was rust free and very clean with complete service history (only driven by me). I asked $1900 because I wanted it to sell, and it did in a week. I had only 3 serious inquiries and about 6 bargain hunters who quickly disappeared.
My point is that there isn't a lot of demand for these cars and the market is very price sensitive. If I'd asked $2500 for the car, I bet I'd still have it. So, you have to ask yourself how much time/money you're willing to commit to the process and how much you need to sell the car. There's a serious law of diminishing return and a steep downside if you price too high. In my case, selling my beloved car only took a week of my life and $25, which was perfect. That car was good to me right to the end.
Oh, one more thing. Do not use ebay. The sale (ebay fee) will cost you more, the car will sell for less, and there's a greater chance you'll end up with buyer problems. On saabnet, all buyers are experienced saab owners and know what they're getting into: a huge advantage.
