Any reason Matt, other than just not using it?

 

[flitcroft96]

we are getting a bigger house and need the money (but I will get another one)

Im I asking too much ????

Im I asking too much ????

That's always the $64K question...

I'd say ask what you want / think it is worth and see what happens. The market will always dictate the value and sometimes it is really a timing thing. The longer you can wait, the more likely you'll get your full asking price.

You can always lower your price if you are in a hurry.

Looks like a nice 40 BTW.

Man gets married and his Cruiser gets the boot.

Good luck with the sale, Matt. For any interested onlookers, this one is first class, it is a beautiful (and beautifully done) Cruiser.

NNNOOOOOOOO!!!!

Say it ain't so Matt. You should get that in my opinion. Damn, can't believe it. First Greg, now Matt. Juan, at least you have a few backups if you decide to sell.

 

[southerncruiser62]

Oh, by know means am I done, there will be plenty more, and I hope the same for matt down the road.

 

[southerncruiser62]

maybe it's just something to do with the 350's, maybe it says something about sticking with the factory 6

 

[Mtbcoach]

I have to agree that seeing it with my own eyes, its a nice rig. Wish I had the means, I would love to have it in my stable...

100% Agreed. There is something to be said for this statement in terms of OEM / stock 40 fans and perceived value...........

 

[flitcroft96]

dont worry after eight (fj40s)in my family, there will be more

 

[flitcroft96]
