As you can see, opinions vary drastically. However, you have a few very knowledgeable guys who have weighed in. Have you noticed they back up their “lowball” estimates with simple, fact-based reasons? Not the “I’d ask $100k and make ‘em talk me down” responses?
Have you considered investing a little on the forefront and having someone qualified actually inspect and appraise the vehicle? I am flying to a beautiful, sunny, Southern destination to do just that, this weekend.
I can tell you this: you will get a lot of responses with a post like this. But, if you really believe you’ll get an accurate valuation from posting a few dozen, two-dimensional pics, it won’t happen.
One of two things WILL happen though:
1) You will become convinced that it is worth far more than it really is. Then, you will sit on it for way too long, make no improvements or repairs to it, become increasingly frustrated with the whole endeavor, and risk it actually going DOWN in value (Yes...even Broncos can devalue!). At that point, you will become even harder to negotiate with while you curse those “$150,000 Barrett-Jackson ‘specials’” and end up “practically giving it away” and regretting ever “messing with them in the first place”.
2) You will not have an accurate understanding of its true condition. This will allow a savvy buyer to make you believe that “yours just isn’t in as good of shape as you think” and you will sell...leaving thousands (potentially) on the table. Then, you will convince yourself that you “got took” and “regret ever messing with them in the first place”.
That is a long way around to say this: if you want an accurate and defendable valuation, get it appraised. End of story.
