Some advice given to me by my 79 year old friend of many years.
"Be careful opening your mouth and pricing your (truck), if it's got curb appeal, cause you don't know who you're dealing with. Big money to you might be chump change to them"
And the other one was. Before you sell
Have someone drive away from the driveway with it as if it was the last time you would ever see it. See how that feels in your gut. I still have a couple of vehicles that I did that with. Helped me make up my mind.
Good luck to you, no matter what you decide.

Very good advise all around - getting paired with the right buyer would be the best outcome. Heck, some items I have bought I am sure the seller thought "this guy has to be nuts" but I had my personal reasons to get x item before some one else did.
I do thank you for saying "20k seems low" but that isn't to say I don't disagree with what the others have said. Though I don't think I should be posting her at a starting price at 20K either ;-)
I am not in "fire sale" mode here at all. I am not even on the fence about selling, only kind of looking at the fence. Hopefully that analogy makes some sense.
