Default Tough Call. To sell or not to sell

I am trying to decide whether to sell my 2000 SS. I am not sure would be a fair price for the car. The paint is good( garage kept most of its life and as we speak), of course it has a few of those clearcoat bubbles up on top. I have all the factory exhaust. Its a California emissions car, so should I install all the factory exhaust. QTP longtubes on the car, and weld in BMR subframes ( done right). Its has 30K on it and the tires are like new( BFG G-force sports). I just need some Wayne Carini opinions, Its also Build #0001 if you didnt already know.

You may have a better chance of getting a price in the "what is it worth" section in the for sale area.

But mid teens sounds good to me

If you don't want to sell it then don't. The only real reason to sell it is to feed/house your family, or of course to upgrade to a Vette.

Keep it. You're not going to get what you put into it and you'll probably regret selling it later on.

He can keep to and feed his family. You can use the car to drive to the grocery store.

If you really want to sell it and are not to desperate I would just put a for sale sign on it drive it around see what kind of offers you get if you get something thats sweet if not just keep it.
