Default Why isn't my TA sold yet?

https://ls1tech.com/forums/vehicle-c...fast-92-a.html

My price is lower than I typically would sell it for even with all the little things that needs fixed. Everyone wants a 6 speed & I can't imagine there being better deals out there that reflects incredibly lower than expected interest on mine. I paid $9k for it with these same issues with 7k less miles on it, and I was lucky I got it as there were others wanting it then.

Idk... I'm clueless. Should I swap the mods with stock stuff & sell the car for $5k??

No idea man. Some people might be afraid of it due to the heavy mods.

My guess is I'm not asking enough, maybe that's your issue too, your car is gorgeous... Pricing for a fast sale seems to scare people. They think "well there must be something wrong." No, there isn't. Car just needs to go to make room for another toy!

Good luck with your sale bro!

I've seen your ad before. Yours isn't selling for the exact same reason. PM sent.

It is almost redundant to keep posting the same thing over and over but too many mods means very few lookers. I wouldn't touch a heavily modded car. My neighbor wouldn't touch a heavily modded car. MOST people looking for F-bodies wouldn't touch a heavily modded car. Why?? Too many issues or potential issues. Was the car abused or raced too often?? No thanks. Too many other cars are out there to look at. These heavily modded cars can become real 'money pits' and people shy away. This entire 'what's it worth' section page has almost all the same problems. Gorgeous beautiful modded cars that no one will buy for the reasons stated above. Owners either have to keep the car forever and pass it on to their kids or take a real heavy financial hit. Of course there are buyers out there looking for these modded cars, but very few, and usually younger folks that have no cash. Loans are out of the question in most instances. Now you see why it is so tough to sell these cars. Even the stock examples are not selling that well. These cars are just not a hot commodity right now with so much stock performance stuff on the market. Sellers of these F-bodies are now competing with used late model V8 Mustangs (since '05 already), Chargers, etc.. Tough market.
