Getting sellers regret before actually selling, what would you do?

Not on the Tacoma, I ain't selling that.
I have this 94 Jeep Grand Cherokee, manual transmission which makes it incredibly rare, and I looked for like 5 years before I found one.

It's actually my second one, so I bought it as sort of nostalgia and to have a project car. It runs perfectly fine and all that but need some cosmetic work. I've driven it probably 10 mi since I've owned it and it's just sitting in my yard. I listed it for sale a few months ago and have had a lot of interest but nobody super serious, until yesterday.

A guy from another state wants to fly out and drive it back, but now I'm getting cold feet. For some reason I absolutely love the way it looks and on the rare occasion I do drive it I like driving it. I also feel like it needs to be somewhere where I can be driven off road and actually use the 4x4 since I would never use it here in LA.

I have absolutely no use for it but I feel like once it's gone I'm going to regret it heavily. What do, strangers on the interwebs?

 

if was me... sell it, use the $ for the Taco mods I've been waiting on and move on!

 

I sell at scrap or give my vehicles away

I sure would not want to drive a vehicle to far that has been sitting that long.


Unless you really need to sell to keep a roof over your head keep the Jeep.

If selling is going to make you so miserable you just buy another one.

My neighbors have the same problem with boats never move but they won`t sell.

You need to get your head in the position to .sell

It comes back to your call take the jeep for a road trip see how you feel.

 

You said you’ve driven it about 10 miles. Let it go since you don’t use it.

 

I understand how you feel. I have sold a MR2, Grand Cherokee, Miata, and 79 stepside long bed chevy 1/2ton. I miss all of them. The rest of my vehicles I didn't love. I don't miss them at all.
I have had some women I really miss at times, and others never cross my mind.
I expect it is the same for everyone.

If you truly love it, but never drive it, you will just slowly watch it rot away from un-use. That doesn't sound fun.
If you can let someone else enjoy it for what it is, that might be best.

My Dad had a 1964 Cutlas convertible. I learned to drive in it. While I was in the navy, he pulled it in the garage, decided to restore it, took it apart, and left it apart for 25 years. He dreamed about fixing it, but never actually did it. While he was dying of cancer, my brother sorta put it back together. He wanted to ride in it before he died. He never got to.

What I am saying is boiled down to a stupid Yoda quote.
Do or do not, there is no try.

Commit to driving it or let it go to someone who will.

Only my opinion, and I hope it helps you decide.

 

Sell it

 

I’m on the sell it train. If you used it, I would say keep it. But the smart decision is to sell it if it’s basically just something you like looking at.

 

Vehicles are made to work, to drive, to take us places. Only 10 miles since you bought it is not enough. Let it go to someone that will appreciate it more.

 

"I have a 1990s Chrysler parked on my lawn for the last couple years and someone wants to buy it, what do?" Gee I dunno, SELL???

 

I had a couple of those neighbors before. Guy had a bunch of boats all around his yard, none of them were capable of floating, he kept buying more anyways. The boat next to his woodpile was his shooting target lol.

 

It's pretty much just a lawn ornament.

 

But at least it's a nice Chrysler.

 

This

 

It's gone. I couldn't have asked for a better buyer, they drove it from SoCal to Nebraska and they said it made it perfectly fine which surprises me.
