04.22.26: Things To Do When Selling Your Car/Truck/Vehiclemobile - Knowing Prices (& If What You've Got Is or Is NOT), What's Worth Prepping VS Worth Explaining, Legwork You Can Do, Attracting VS Selling, + Trying New Lawnmowers & Cut Chemist

About this episode

The episode discusses strategies for selling vehicles, including pricing, preparation, and attracting buyers, along with some lighthearted topics like lawnmower testing.

We're all doing it right now - eyeballing the spare boiler in the driveway that you may or may not need (probably not, if you're any sort of geek), wondering if there's some solid cash to be had if you just did a leeeeettle work. Well, the Gearhead Consultancy at the Garage Hour has done this before (a LOT), and we can help you get to done. What's a must-do and what can you explain away? Does the Check Engine Light mean buy a new sensor or buy a $20 code-reader? How do you move from attracting a shopper to making them a buyer? Are you ready to pounce when Mr. Shopper's want turns to need ? ...And do you know what your buggy is worth? While we're at it: PPIHC 2026 (right around the corner), trying new snowblower repairmen (because why not), JFS4 detail ('froading is for fun), and yummy tunes from the one and only Cut Chemist (because that stuff's great too).
