how do I decide what price to sell my jag
never sold old classic before
how do u decide if it's worth more or less than market value
ideas welcome

 

There are lots of factors which enter into the pricing of vintage/classic cars. One place to start is scan the internet for listings/offerings and completed sales of similar vehicles (hopefully ones with good and honest narrative descriptions and extensive photos). Another critical factor is an honest assessment of the actual condition of your vehicle...no "rose colored glasses" allowed. Is your car an east coast car? If so, are there rust issues? A rust free California car will likely sell for more...

There are classic car value guides out there, but the indicated values tend to be in wide ranges, which goes back to condition and other factors. An example of other factors includes things like "is your car a RHD version in a LHD market...?" If so, a discount may be required to effect a sale.

You can post photos and your car's details here to see what other members think, but nobody can lay hands on a computer screen and come up with an accurate sales price for your car.

RHD = Right Hand Drive
LHD = Left Hand Drive

...i.e., the side of the car upon which the steering wheel and controls are located.

 

For what it is worth I paid a touch over $3000 for my 67 420, LHD, wire wheels, redone interior, needed paint, ran like a watch, drove it home from Cape May to NE PA with no issues.
