So you've decided to sell and now it's time to put a price tag on what many of you would consider "love." I know the feeling. I have fallen in love with a couple of my old cars (and one truck), and when it came time to move on, I thought to myself, "How do you put a price tag on what this machine and I have been through together? The trips with the family, the conversation, the music, the speed, the occasional road rage, Booger sticking his head out the window, the hum of my first V8, the memories of learning to drive a stick - all of these things that MasterCard would call 'priceless.'
Unfortunately, that's all between you and the car, and you just can't put a price tag on it. No, seriously... you can't put a price tag on it because there is no selling power there. While those are beautiful things and we can all relate, when the tables are turned and you stand there as a buyer you just want to know how much value that vehicle still holds, and that's all you want to pay.
Hence, the sad truth... vehicles can lose value quickly and there is always a right time to sell. So take lots of pictures and create lots of memories, and when the time comes hopefully you have prepared yourself to part ways. Probably not at the price you'd put on love, but at least at a price others would consider fair market value.
