Default How much is my Camaro worth? / FS

I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this thread at but I found it appropriate. If not please redirect me

I'm starting to consider selling my Camaro. I'm finding a lot of interest in building a c10 or early 90's 2wd chevy or a Cadillac CTS-V

I feel like these cars will sell for what people will pay for them. At least in my area. So I'm not sure . I could use some help. All I know is that I will definitely not get what I put into it lol

-Brakemotive Drilled and slotted Front & Rear rotors

All said and done this car runs and starts and puts out great power. (426whp/391wtq , On the bottle 543whp/554wtq)

CONS: small oil leak from the oil pan, AC has been removed but can be included and the car will not pass emissions if you are required to pass emissions . Some random interior plastics need replaced And last but not least, it is pretty well modified and is a "buyer beware" type of thing which you should already know.

NOTE: I HAVE A BINDER FULL OF ALL PAPERWORK FOR LITERALLY ALMOST ALL MODS AND CHANGES DONE TO THE CAR

Mods really mean nothing when selling. Its all about the miles with any car. KBB says 4-5 grand for your car. Now there are a few people that would give you more because of the work you put into it though.

With that many miles on the body I would say 6-7k, but if someone appreciates the mods they'll pay more. Also if it is a true ss and you have the original hood and everything that will add more. I would say 8k is realistic. I personally would think it would be worth more because from the pics it looks really nice, but your average Joe is going to want something with lower miles. I would sell my car for 8k and it only has 95k and is bone stock.

^^Exactly. And having less miles on the motor still depreciates it because its not the original motor. But yeah the car is nice , paint is nice and body is straight. Its tough to price it . im thinking the best thing to do is price it at what i think is fair for me and see what happens from there

Selling these cars is kind of tough. They're old enough to be cheap, but not old enough to be cool lol.

I paid $4000 for a 98 Z-28 that had 180,000 miles on it. But it was very very clean and unmolested southern car. Only had it about 3 weeks and its been sitting in garage since I got it home.
