Selling your Spyder

[Buckeye Bleau]

I actually sold mine through Facebook Marketplace.

Glad to hear of your success story. What you have said is right on. Those holding out for that extra $1K usually lose.

Think of accessories as a "sunk" cost. Never going to get their perceived value.

What you paid for or have invested in the machine is also a "sunk" cost. People don't care what you have into it.

Pricing comparable to your area and a tad lowball can make yours stand out--if the customer has also done due diligence. Occasionally someone who does not have a clue, but has some money will also jump in--with not to many questions asked. SL for sale pages--do NOT have a lot of those people looking for a Spyder ride.

It took me about 1 minute to get $5000 for a 2008GS SM5 when I sat down to trade for a Jeep. I checked KBB, and that was the high end for selling.

Guessing there is a lot to play with in the Jeep pricing. $5,000 was definitely a "fair" price. But interesting they still did not try to lowball you.

I see people who advertise their used RTS Spyders the same year as mine for $15k - $18k. I purchased mine a 2014 on here in the Spring on this site for cheap and plan to get rid of it in the spring for $12 - $14k . I am not going to deep clean it or anything - just selling it looking better than I bought it - which is easy to do.
