I've heard that a good rule of thumb is to take your blue book value and then add up what you spent on all your mods and divide the mod money by 2. So if the blue book is $12000 and you spent $8000 on mods then around $16000 is a good asking price. It sucks but you lose a lot of money on resale when it comes to aftermarket parts.

24 or 25 is to high in my own opion you would be better off selling the wheels separte the car at a dealership in the condtion like yours being clean would probally bring anywhere from 17 to 19k retail.. another problem you run into is you have to sell your car to someone that wants those mods which makes the sale more difficult.. I would go for 22500 or 23 in that range and see if you get any bits.. also another problem you run into is a bank will not loan the extra money on the vehicle since the car is worth 19k max in premium condtion (which most of the times banks don't give) your going to have to find someone with the extra money but good luck with the sale and very nice vette whites my fav color

i would say 16-18. A 98 is getting old its already 10 years old. You cant get HUD which is huge for a lot of people. Id take it like right now if it went up for 17. You can get into a c5 zo6 for around 23 right now. A lot are going for mid 20's and you can always get it down a little. theres a guy on my local craigslist selling a speedway white 2001 zo6 for 23500 with 40000 miles. I prefer the coupe style or id buy that

Keep the car.... it looks killer and it's nicely modded.
Don't have a bunch of roaches come around your house knocking it wanting to pay with used toilet paper...
Take the high road and enjoy it!
