Default Thinking of Selling My Car

Just as the title says, I am thinking about selling my car. It has been my baby ever since I bought it 4 years ago. The ONLY REASON I am thinking about selling it is because I have only driven it 1000 miles since April, and that includes 2 200 mile round trip drives to New England Dragway, where it got an 11.7 at 118 MPH. The car is Beautiful, Never seen Snow, Stored in my heated garage with a cover on it from October 31 - April 15, Rarely Sees Rain! Some members on here can vouch for that.

Now getting to the car, it is a 2000 Pontiac Trans Am with 67,000 miles on the clock, Black on Black Leather, Factory Ram Air Hood, Power Seat, Monsoon Stereo, 6 Speed with Hurst Billet Plus Shifter, Kooks Headers, Kooks ORY, SLP Dual Dual, Procharger D-1SC at 6 Pounds of boost, LS7 Clutch, Moser 12 Bolt, 33 Spline Axles, Eaton Posi, No Expense Spared, etc. All of the mods and tuning were done by Don at Dez Racing, aka SLOWHAWK.

The only bad part about the whole car is it has a rebuilt title. I bought the car from a guy who OWNED A BODY SHOP, so all of the repairs were top notch, and the car looks perfect. Car took 2nd place at Camaro Firebird Day last year, first place was some shop car with over $80,000 in it

Looking to get $15,000

The title is the only thing keeping me from looking for more money. The mods cost:
Procharger, injectors, fuel pump - $6500
Kooks Headers and ORY - $1000
Moser 12 Bolt - $2500
SLP Dual Dual - $500
LS7 Clutch Kit, Flywheel, Hydraulics - $750
Subframe Connectors - $200
Install and Tune - $2500
Total in Mods - $13,950

So it's like the car is only 1,050!

Do yourself a favor and keep the car, my biggest regret is selling my first LS1 that i had for 5 years and bought brand new. Believe me as soon as the car leaves your driveway your going to be wishing you never sold it.

It's not a problem getting the car registerd or insured. It just takes some value away from the car. I would almost be willing to bet this is one of the cleanest F-Body's around

R,S,F titles are Value killers. You can have the cleanest lowest mileage car and then the exact same thing with double the miles and it will sell for more money then you can get for yours. I had to take a loss on my 97 Prelude SH 5 speed with 75K for $3500 and KBB was $6500
