dont know how to add pics, so here is a link to the craigslist add. Do you guys think my price is too high for a fully built T/a with less than 10,000 miles? Not much bad about the car except sun visors need replaced and stiching started to pop in drivers seat. Leathers not torn, just the stiching. Blue book using odometer shows about $7000 in my area, but using accual motor, tranny, and top milage, shows $13,500. Money accually spent is far above that and of course, kelly blue book doesnt have a section for port and polish, forged parts, ect.

The CL ad didn't come through so we don't know what you are asking. The news is not good though with all that $$ you have in the car. The bottom line is it is a '97 'vert with high mileage. Most, not all, people looking for such a car will not pay much for it. They will use the price guide books, period. If a price guide states $7,000 then many will not pay a dime more, no matter what has been done with it. The low mileage on the re-builds does not equate with an 'original' low mileage car that has 'premiums' attached to it. All you can do is try to get what you want but don't expect it if above 'book'. I'm sure the car is worth so much more but convincing a buyer to agree with that worth is very tough. Best of luck!
