Default How much would you buy my car for?

I think 7000 is a steal for a buyier of my car. But i'v had people scared away because I have the air injection system removed and I have long tubes so the car isnt emmission legal and therefore the engine check light is on. All it needs is a tune so the code can be tuned out. I'm sure someone in a state that dosent do emmissions would be thrilled to have this car. What do you guys think? What would you pay?

wow, if you werent so far id be all over that. Another option would be to find a set of stock manifolds/Ypipe (usually around 50-100) switch it out then sell the LT's for a few hundred

Yeah i was going to do that but i'm in ct and we have snow on the ground and its a pain in the ***. I may just decide to do that though. I still have my stock manifolds but I dont know if I should use them or not because they have been sitting outside for 2 years. Yeah, maybee I should just do that. These headers are very nice. Thanks for the reply bro

yea, but the factory manifolds are thick so they wont rust through but will get surface rust even being on the car, just clean the flanges up so they wont leak. Another thing is you might wanna wait til the spring, winter is the worst time to sell a car

pretty good price the a4 usually hurts though when selling. When I was looking around beg. of last year I found a bunch of a4s ranging from 6500 for a a4 with 65kmiles to 9000 for a 2001 with 75k but you have a exhaust and its pretty clean so id hold that price and see who buys it.

I think thats definitely well worth $7k cuz the car looks intact with good mileage, clean title, and with mods. However, if you really need the money and nothing gives you will ultimately have to take lower bids. That's just how it works whenever we sell our cars we gotta lose $$$!

$7000 is a good deal. Would you take $4500? "kidding" The only people that would question the mods are the people that probably don't know what there buying. Good luck.

LOL yeah i know your kidding,i would be kidding to Someone just stopped by today interested in the car and knows he wanted an ls1 so when I told him about the codes being thrown from the long tubes and air injection there was no problem. He understood. Thats the kind of person I was hopeing to sell to. Someone who wants to mod is gonna take the air off anyway and get the computer tuned. As usual when someone test drives the car the same 2 words came outof this guys mouth HOLY ****!!!) LOL. Then i gotta fight myself on selling the car or not damn

Idk man seems like a good deal to me. I'm selling mine too and haven't actually sold it yet but I have and interest. I think your location and the fact that it is an A4 (like mine) are the two main reasons behind it. Good looking Z though. The SES light pry does scare some people away but for someone that knows a lot about f-bodies and knows for sure that it just needs a tune, it shouldn't be a big problem.

I've seen the car in person. Drive by it on the way home from work in Norwich. It's a nice looking car. Not sure if you'll get $7K for it though. $5K probably more realastic.

Park it out on Rt82 somewhere. Get more exposure. That should help sell it. You could get $7K with the right buyer. Advertise it in the Eastern section.
