Good price for a cab - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SchreinerM · 04-09-2009, 05:27 PM

Found a solid, clean, no rust 67-72 cab covered in epoxy primer. It's a bare cab (no glass, column, etc).

What's a good price to offer?

**fine69** · 04-09-2009, 05:44 PM

Never offer. You may offer more than they will take for it.

I sold a 75 Elcamino a few months ago. Had it listed for $1500 on Craigslist. Would have taken $800 bucks for it. Tired of it sitting around my house.

Guy came, drove it. Asked me what i would take. I said, make me an offer. He said how about $1300??? hmmm OK.

Thank you dude.

Find out what they want, then go from there.

Always wait until they toss you a price. If they say make an offer, offer $1. When they laugh. Say, Well thats what i want to offer. Now what do you want???

Yep. "Make me an offer" means -- "how much money are you willing to give me for it".

Go lowball first.

I aleays ask what their "bottom dollar" is when they give it , I always ask are you sure?....Make them negotiate with you....you have what they want $$$$.

The first one who comes up with a number looses in a negotiation usually.

And Always lowball, but if you want it ,be willing, and ABLE to pay.

Make him give you a price first, tell him you can't be the buyer and seller both.

A good solid cab is "worth" $1,500 in the rust belt,IMO.

I need to stockup , rebuild, and sell cabs......

**special-K** · 04-10-2009, 09:06 AM

I`d like to,also.Thegood ones are far away from the rust belt.So,shipping a huge chunk like that will run high plus the cost of cab.To fix one I`d want At least that much for my time plus panels.Then,you have a chopped and welded/patched cab.Hopefully a good job that will hold up.All this makes a clean bolt-on cab at you door worth the big price.It`s the core of your truck.Everything else is bolt-on.

if he wants to sell he should set the price he wants//you can get into an auction on ebay

jb4short · 04-10-2009, 09:57 AM

1500.00-2000.00 if it's ready to bolt on
