What should that car be worth? One owner, 37k miles, Z06 wheels, Hooker headers, Borla catback and Procharged with upgraded fuel pump. All else is stock. Has had at least a qtr painted and needs new carpet.

So is House of Boost selling the car, or is it an individual selling the car who had House of Boost install the Procharger?

it sounds like they just installed the Procharger, and he was interested in their work quality
I would think if the car is decent, somewhere around book price plus 2-3 thousand extra
in a modified car your always taking a chance, hard to say if its been run hard
kind of a buyer beware, esp buying long distance

Its on a car lot. They have recpipts of the work. I did speak to the originally owner but he didnt care to talk for long since its no longer his car. I do know what the lot paid for it and they want 4k profit.

Knowing that gives you the upper hand and I wouldn't be affraid letting them know you know what they paid for it. What do they have the car listed for?

$4k profit. That right there makes it sound overpriced.

Procharged and only putting out 411 rwhp???? P1SC's put out more than this. If you are really interested in buying this car, play hard ball with them. Tell them that you know what they paid for it, and while some profit is in order for them, it sure as hell aint' going to be $4k worth.

You're talking about it being marked up $8,900 over blue book value, correct? The mods are worth something, but the place needs to realize that when you sell a modded car, you're never going to get out what you put in. That car will sit for a long time at that price if they aren't willing to negotiate much on it.

Tell them you'll buy it at $14,000 and see what they say. I bet they will still move off that $14,900 price. I wouldn't buy a car like that if you're thinking about selling it. Buy it and enjoy it.

Would anyone on this forum pay 14900 for that car now or down the road? It just seems high for a 98
