Hi everyone,
I have a beloved 2016 Metris with 53,000 miles that I converted to a campervan mostly myself (electrical and anything involving cutting or drilling through to outside of van - like bench seat and Fantastic Fan install - were done professionally). I put so much time and love into the build, that I’m really sad to say that it’s time to sell it. I have a baby on the way, and unfortunately when I planned the build, child safe seating wasn’t part of the plan, so there’s really no safe place to put a car seat. Also, even if I did just put it in storage until the kid is old enough to sit in a regular seat, it’s really ideal for a single person or a couple. Camping with 3 would be really tight.
So the time has come to sell. While I’m doing so reluctantly, it could be worse. At least I can hopefully take advantage of the increased prices of the current car market. But since I haven’t been able to find anything quite like this out there being sold used, I’m fairly lost as to how much I should list it for. The closest thing I found is this listing: FOR SALE: 2016 Metris Pop Top Camper While it is very nice and it also has a pop top, it’s definitely more bare-bones and less “homey” than my build, so I’m not sure how that would change the value of mine. Features include:
Any feedback on what I should list it for would be appreciated.
Thanks!
