What haven’t I thought of?
My full time vanlife adventure is over so I’ve been trying to sell my 2005 T1N for 3+ months. It’s running and driving the best in the 5 years I’ve had it.
Took it in for a pre-safety and it won’t pass without a lot of bodywork. Not just rust; some structural stuff the previous owner did (van still passed safety when I bought it but the process is stricter in Ontario, Canada now)
The right person could have a healthy side hustle parting it out, including all the expensive equipment I put in. But it’s a REALLY niche market and I can’t find that person.
Traditional venues haven’t worked in 3+ months. I suppose I could sell it to a scrapper for $1000 but that seems like a waste. And I’m not in a position to part it out myself.
What would you do?
