How much is my SMB worth?

[MRR918]

I recently bought my 2WD 1997 E250 extended body, gas V8 with 90k miles on it in Huntington Beach. Similar layout. Lifted and offroad rims/tires for $25k. mine doesnt have the aluminess goodies like yours (except a side ladder), or solar panels. I think I overpaid a bit but I was in a "bidding war". I think you could easily get $20k-$25k if you sell it during spring/summer. Prices for toys usually go down during the winter time. I saw a 2WD with a fixed high top, 4" lift, full aluminess bumpers and roof rack, go for $30k. I also thought it was priced high, but apparently most people pay more than they wanted to for their SMB

And if you by any chance want to sell your Aluminess goodies, I would like to buy them....

Thanks for the input, MRR918. I appreciate your help. Looks like the family wants to have one more outing in June before we set the SMB free. Hopefully I will find a bidding war for my rig when the time comes! Happy trails.

Not to steal room on your thread, crustyfish1 but I too am searching for a "value" on my van- seems many of you have a really good idea on the market, options and things to look for. When I purchased this rig I didn't have an idea of true market value as the SMB world is all brand new. I'm looking for some info to share with my wife in case I need to fix the hole in our bank account as a result of this purchase.
