    Default Hard to sell a vehicle.

    Any suggestions on how I would get a 79 Scout sold? nobody seems to want to buy it in this area.

    I am not advertising it here.. 'no ads allowed'.. but I am stuck for ideas.

    Try Craigslist.com

    Um, how about some details? Where you at, what kinda condition is it in? engine, etc etc?

    Not knowing any details, is it that nobody wants the vehicle, or nobody wants it at the price you're asking?

    Well, I don't know.. there have been a lot of layoffs in this area recently... and it is a niche market I need to cater to on it. Maybe I just need to scrunch brain tissue and get more inventive.. or contact the right people about it.

    Are there any clubs in the area? Some areas you'll find off-road, vintage car, corvette, volkswagon, etc. that have enthusiasts. They may be able to steer you in the right direction.

    Now that is creative.. Thanks Crash.. I'll try that and see what happens. I'll put it up on Craigslist again too.. and let you all know I can't see how to put a pic of it on here... and probably shouldn't anyway.

    I want to get what I should have gotten in the first place and that is a 4X4 cargo van to convert to a survivalist camper type .. BOV.

    Free 1979 International Scout, That's right, absolutely free. I'm giving it away to the first person that buys my mini mag light for $1500 (insert correct price here).

    Couldn't care less about the scout, but how much for the van in the picture?

    J/K - nice looking truck, but I agree a 4x4 BOV would be nicer.

    How about looking at International or Scout forums and see if they have a for sale section? How about a 4X4 or vintage off road website? Just throwing some ideas out there. I had a '83 Landcrusier and sold it through a Landcruiser forum site.

    There is another good idea... Thanks, I'll try that too..

    Aurelius... That van belongs to my neighbor... it doesn't run but I don't think it is for sale.. I can ask him about it for you though.. It is a piece of junk though.. lots of rust too. Old Chevy.

    Man I love Scouts...Had one, it was amazing. But you do have to know what parts to use on the engine..lol..anyone who owns one should understand.

    With the gas crunch. A lot of top end 4 X 4's are just sitting around. The car lots here are full of SUV's, 4X4's and gas hogs.

    I gave away my mint condition 1981 Chrysler Newport because the 12 miles to a gallon in the city, made it undesirable.

    I wish you luck.
