Making an Offer

How do you know if it's an AutoNation dealer?

Okay, going again today to see the hybrids did absolutely NOTHING to dissuade me from getting one.   :eyecrazy:

I checked RVTrader & by the looks of what's for sale, I could probably get what I want for my PUP.  Add to that some cash, and I could be in a Coyote by June!

So now the question is, what do I need to know about selling something myself.  I've always traded in my cars, and considering that I'm doing this solo, what do I need to be careful about?

So now the question is, what do I need to know about selling something myself.

One of the most important things is for it to be as clean as possible.  We're talking "hospital clean".  If you have any dirt (dust) streaks, or mildew, on the inside of the canvas, use something to make it "go away" (search here for hints; I don't remember what we used, but there are things).

Use Clorox wipes, or similar (Lysol), and clean every crack, track, nook, cranny, etc.  Scrub / buff the outside.  I even pressure-washed the roof, and gently touched-up the small crack in the plastic on the side of the bumper.  Wrap packing tape, sticky side OUT, around your hand and roll it on fabric to remove dog hair - it will PULL it out of cushions.

Empty it out, except for a small assortment of "camping" stuff - a couple of forks, knives, cups, etc.  Make it look like it is stocked, but minimally - to show how much "extra" room there is (yes, remove the green plastic cactus "funny lights", etc!).

We advertized ours here for a month or so, but only got some almost-offensively-lowbally offers.  Advertized it on Craigslist, and sold it within a couple of weeks to a fellow from 5 hours away (Carmel).
