Trying to sell my 88

Hey all, it's been a while. 

Looking for imput on pricing because I can't find a buyer. I started at $7k and no one would even get close, so I continued to drop price. I ended at $5k. I understand I started way too high. I  do feel at this point $5k is a fair price. Here is the details. 

 

Great condition, Runs good, no cracks in dash, good interior, 128k+ miles 2.5ltr, 2wd, short box, new clutch, led headlights and spotlights, new Bluetooth stereo and speakers, plugs, wires, rotor, spray bedliner, BFG 245/70r/15 less than 100mi, 2.5 lift with wheel spacers, new shocks. Body and frame is straight. Little surface rust on doors, but nothing critical.

I am starting to see it that way. If I were to trailer it up to Moab during Jeep jam I would probably get a great price for it 😆. Besides the motor and trans case, it is in really good condition and I saw it as a project when I got it. But, I am unable to continue because I am now dealing with MS. $3-4k is probably more reasonable.

I appreciate your input.

Yeah, unfortunately the 4 cylinder and 2WD will turn off many buyers at any price.  Though a motivated buyer wanting a good condition truck for an engine swap would probably love it.

 

Distance to that buyer is a significant impediment as well.

 

Put it up on Bring A Trailer or Ebay, or both.  Someone will see it there.

Yep, it really has a lot to do with drive train.  It looks like there isn't much water where you live but washing it and cleaning the dust out of the interior for your sale photos will go a longer way than you think.

 

I've had great success with selling on BaT, I bet it would sell for $4-$5k there.

Shortly after reading the title and then then through the trucks info, I'm in the same boat as the others - 2.5 2wd and I was out. Once you've ripped around in one of these trucks 6cyl and manual you wouldn't want to experience  a slower version.

 

What i would offer for advice would be to spray it down with a power washer and detail your interior with a microfiber and then some baby wipes. The overall dirty filthy presentation does not entice the "premium asking price" approach. Your flirting with a $2k price range imo for what i would expect from one like yours in my area.
