Thinking of selling my '97 WS6....how much? I have a 1997 WS6....bone stock 6-speed....before you say anything, no I don't have pics yet...I was just wondering if you guys could give me a ballpark on what I should ask for it. I'm not gonna sell it until it is done...I'm having a new paint job put on it and fixing some minor wear and tear items. The paint (which is almost done) is artic bright white with black mirrors, black sail panel, top of the spoiler is black, ram air part of hood is black, taillights have been smoked and it has the ceta rear bumper painted black. It has alot of highway miles 167,000. There are a couple of rips in the seats (ie: drivers seat from getting in and out and one in the back seat) i'm not fixing, but other than that the car is in really good shape....I'll try and have pics up soon....the only thing left to paint is the front bumper.

A new paint job will not increase the value at all, if anything it might hurt it due to potential buyers thinking it might have been wrecked and its a cover up. That's just my experience dealing with cars freshly painted. NADA is pretty close though for ur car

It was wrecked in the front which is why I just went ahead and had the whole thing painted. I bought the car like that and I work for a body shop (estimator) so I'm pretty good at picking out damage....everything that was damaged (front bumper-absorber-rebar-rt foglight-rt marker light) has been replaced with oem parts. I will try and get pics up tomorrow..but like I said the front bumper is not on it and has not been painted yet....we've been having trouble finding an absorber and it hasn't made it here yet.
