I think you got a smoking deal on it to begin with.. that deal was mostly you taking a risk (blown suspension), and you should be able to make up some of your after market costs due to the risk you took..
However, once a prospective buyer sees the good deal you got, they don’t want to be paying you back for your aftermarket investments, especially considering the higher mileage.
People just don’t expect to pay back for lift and tire cost.. just how it goes. Because the super low purchase price is there, I think you’re turning off prospective buyers.
I agree with the previous comment, list it for $8k, say how much you invested into aftermarket and repairs/baseline since you bought it.. But it’s not really anyone’s business what a good deal you got to begin with ($5900).
The other challenge is, I see more people looking for these in TX, CA, OR, and the East Coast. I bought mine near St Louis and had it shipped, which (I think) worked a little in my favor. There just weren’t as many interested buyers for the seller in the central US.
If you find someone interested outside your area who is legit, might be worth considering splitting shipping. I paid $800 to ship mine to the East Coast. We worked it out where we both traded copies of documents and other stuff to be confident the transaction was legit. I can tell you more if you end up getting someone interested in buying out of state.
Oh - also - make sure you have posted a link to your ad to the GXOR Facebook group if you haven’t already. I see a ton of new people on there each week.
Good luck w the sale!
