I figure when I sell a vehicle that I have to be willing to sit on it for a while and possibly keep it.
If you are in a hurry to sell becasue you need the money, it's almost a given that you will take less for it than you think it is worth.
It seems that these days a vehicle better be worth $40,000 or more when you are done restoring it, or you won't make enough on it to make it worth while.
