Is The ROI worth the effort?

[Papa John]

Im selling my 2008 (Dodge) MBenz 3500 Sprinter, HR LWB.

Just wondering if i should invest time and money into improving the Appearance or just settle for less noney and sell as is?
Im ok with taking Low blue book.

 

[Acp]

elbow grease without much money might make a big difference.

 

[Brian H]

It might not get a lot more, but it will sell a lot faster if' it's cleaned up.

 

[Jimmy L]

Armor all the front seats and dash etc.

Install a mattress, portapotty and microwave to help the sale

haha--- I was thinking of turning it into an RV. but feared it would be a money pit.
I might have taken on this project IF I thought I'd be under "House Arrest" for another 2 months.
but I already booked 3 jobs today.

 

[Papa John]

Should I remove all the interior "upgrades"?

 

[Mikey P]

absolutely and clean that thing up spic and span be the one to do it higher carpet T Taylor it will sit in there all day for 250 bucks

Anybody want the rusty shelves for free?
Just have to pick them up.
Im either going to refurbish them and sell or just save my time and dump them.

Some of the bolts were rusted and had to be cut off-- damn, that was like usung a JackHammer!
That greatly diminished my enthusiasm to get this van spic and span.

I always go for the sawsall when removing bolt like that.

An All White van might be too tempting for a graffiti scumbag.
I plan on painting the black trim. maybe even apply a clear coat to the van.
