Default Best time to sale 993 cab

I'm probably going to sale my 993 cab and was wondering if it's better to wait until spring or is fall ok? Oh, and yes I totally know I will likely regret this in a year so please don't make me feel like an idiot

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

How many PM's do you have now? Why not do the right thing and pay for a membership and state a price?

Hmmm. It's not for sale yet so no price Ed. I don't have any PM's and wouldn't sale the car until I put it on the classifieds at which time I would put it here as well. I am torn between keeping it and selling it but talked myself into selling it a few days ago. However, I just feel that cabs might sale better in the spring coming from a guy who gets cold weather.would like to know what the other guys think in other parts of the nation. I feel like I have learned quite a lot from this forum and most guys are very nice and very knowledgeable and usually helpful. Oh, and I have had membership here for several years. I guess I didn't renew this year. I haven't been on this site much lately since my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer this year. This is one of the reasons I am considering selling the cab. Sorry I have upset you. Maybe it would just be better to post the car on a different site if I decide to sale it.

Ish, thanks for your question but this isn't a sales add. I'm just asking advice. I did see a pretty nice cab for sale from a reseller in Indiana. I will look and see who it was and drop you a note if I can find it. I haven't seen many on market since I've looked the past few days and that may be because people are waiting for spring? I'm a physician so I don't have much insight on selling cars. Hence the question.

Again, not trying to **** anyone off, just had a question. Guess the administrator can delete this topic. I will call a few dealers and get their take and the question. So, please close this topic post. Thanks.

I think it's hard to sell any vehicle when winter comes on. I'm thinking that it's incredibly hard to keep it in the pristine condition that it should be when trying to sell because of all the snow. Then the test drives really are difficult in the snow. If it were me and you have the luxury of waiting, I would put it in the market in the spring and take my chances with the selling price.

Put it on the market right now. If you put it at a fair price, it WILL be gone by Halloween...

Otherwise, probably late March/early April.

I think if you and/or your buyer is located in CA, FL, AZ, etc., then, outside of Christmas and New Years, the time of year doesn't much matter.

Exactly - depends on where your market is. You are in an area of strong seasons, so I would put the car away and wait spring. Gives you time to think too...

Yep, just put it for sale RIGHT NOW. If it doesn't sell in 3 weeks, just re-list in the spring. Easy peasy.

Good luck with your sale, Doc. What are you buying instead?
