|
|
I have a legit Meyers Manx 2 w/ the 4 digit B.F. Meyers Serial Number tag.
It's just the body and hood & it's all in decent shape. I'm thinking about selling it, but I don't know how much I should ask for it. Any suggestions ? |

All anything is worth is your ability to find a willing buyer. I could tell you it's worth a grand but then maybe somebody else will offer you three. Location also plays a big part in what something is worth. Because a Dunebuggy is a seasonal vehicle WHEN you sell it also makes a difference.
What do you think it's worth? _________________ 2017 Street Comp Champion - Thunder Valley Raceway Park - Noble, OK

Condition and original color make a difference too. If the original gel coat is savable, that adds value. A rare flake color like black adds value too.

Looks like it was painted with a live chicken,polished with a brick and buffed with a pine cone |

The gel coat is gone but the rest is in good shape. I was thinking if I could get at least 2,500 for it I'd sell it b/c the money could fund my Tow'd project, but any less I'd rather hang onto it for a future project, but I didn't know if that would be a rediculous asking price. I couldn't find another, body only, for sale to get a good comp. |

The only problem with that is a brand new Manx body any color you could want is $2500.00 in California.
I would buy that before an old one.....but that's just me and my color of choise would be Chartreuse Green....... _________________

I didn't know new ones were that cheap, well I guess I'll hang onto it. Thanks for the input. |

And Berrien bodies are much less than that. |
