I need to know what to offer for a Burb - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BarryB · 04-02-2009, 08:39 PM

First off, I know I should put this in WIW area. But I need a faster response. My 2nd cousin died last week. He left behind a 68 Suburban. I told my Dad I was interested in it if it can up for sale. Well my cousins wife doesn't drive, never has. So my Dad told her that I was interested in it, and hence the question. Now I do not have any pics or can get any. So I will try and describe the best I can. 68 burb V8 (size ci's ???) 3 spd on the tree. Nothing fancy, and I am sure it will need body work. It's a runner/driver.
I want to offer his wife a fair price, but then again don't want to offer more than it's actually worth. . Help me out the best you can guys. I know it's hard to put a price on something without seeing it. So thats my dilemma

Without looking at it it's tough - anywhere from a thousand dollars on up -

If it has family meaning to you, then price is something very hard to place. My burb is all about family, and I couldn't put a price on it if I had to.

You might think about what she would need, rather than trying to place a standard value on the burb. Does she have debt she needs help with, or something she may need help with around the house that money/labor could take care of? You may want to try and talk to her about that, and then work out a fair trade for the burb. I think both of you would feel better in the end, if she got something that meant something to her (Be it cash or? or a little of both?)

In the end you'l get the burb, and feel good about it with out the feelings of either over paying or under paying...

Just my .02

Definately understanding the not seeing part making it tough. I live in Northeast Tn. The burb is in Northern Va. a good 350 miles away. So getting the pics are almost impossible. And the helping her out around the house is kinda hard to do also since i am so far away.
