Default What is my car worth?

Wanting to move onto a new Z06 and trying to see how much I should offer up for my car. Everything is brand new built no miles on it yet.

Specs are:

Iron forged 408, AFR 225 72 cc, F1C, A&A FMIC kit, custom A&A blower cam, Vic. Jr., 90mm TB, MSD Coils, Baer 6 piston brakes all around, Magna Extractor hood, ACP front fascia, ACP rear lip spoiler, Chrome Z06 wheels, B&M ripper shifter w/ Z06 shift ****, custom 300mph speedo, 6 point roll bar, 5 point harnesses, brand new MT Drag Radials, Cobalt Fuel Pressure gauge, Cobalt Electronic Boost gauge, AEM Wideband UEGO, Corsa Exhaust, ARH Long tube headers, Hiflow cats, Moroso breather tank, RC 75lb injectors, A&A fuel system, HID lights all around, Z06 brake ducts, DTE 3.90 Stage V rear differential, Stage IV Six Speed Inc T56, Hotchkis Adjustable sway bars, and Bilstein HD shocks.

Basically its completely done up and with a NICE paint job at that. After the belt slip issue is fixed in the next couple of days it will have more than 900 hp at the wheels. Let me know what you guys think is a fair giving price for it. I have over 60g in parts not including cost of the car. Here is a pic:

Unfortunately 99.999943% of the time you will only get a faction of the money back from the mods you put in/on. I would say high 30s to low 40s would be a good ballpark price.

I am mainly contemplating selling it if the price is right. I am really happy with the car but want to try something else.

You can try. but after a while if you don't you will need to drop the price, but only if you NEED to sell.

You will definately have to find the right buyer for that price. I am not saying that it is impossible, but you will have to look long and hard.

Well that certainly helps a lot. With the right advertising you might be able to get that price

Hey DixonK, I would think that since your in Kuwait, some one with a sizable amount of wealth would have no problem going 60 grand. Aren't there a lot of rich people in Kuwait? I would ask 100 grand, and see what happens. That's a real nice car. Mike F.

There are a lot of people with lots of money here. But 80% of them are still tight wads too

Ya and another thing is I never factored in shipping costs either. I might go ahead and keep it.

I agree...You will just have to find the right buyer.....ebay that bad boy....Mostly everyone on this forum would agree but I can't even begin to tell you how much money I have lost on my last couple of cars do to the fact that they were modded.
