I'd say about $14K with the wheels/tires. Nice low miles, car looks clean. Mudflaps gotta GO though

+1 on the mudflaps and $14k sounds about right.
For reference, I paid $15.5k for 2002 CAMARO Z28 M6, 35k miles, Fully loaded, leather, etc. AND 1 owner clean cafax, new tires, PERFECT CONDITION, but it had the stock wheels, so for yours, since it is an auto w/ the 2.73's, it will fetch a lil bit less than a 6 speed and I would pay 14k for it....

Good luck. I have a 600+rwhp 2000 Z28 with less than 1/2 your mileage and can't get anyone to offer above $14K. The used car selling market sucks right now...

Why aren't you getting more? Something isn't right. This is very depressing. Let me know.

i would pay more for his stock Z28 than your modded Z.....90% of the time a stock car will sell quicker and bring in more cash than a modded car

That's interesting. I would think that someone would want to get more for their dollar by getting the mods included. Why would someone want a stock car over a faster car with mods? Are they afraid of abuse?

I held out for a stock car. That way you know they haven't been beat on at the track, nothing is missing, etc. I also like make my own choices when it comes to mods. Rarely do I see a car with the exhaust, suspension, wheels, etc. that I would put on said car. Also many people expect their modded car to sell for more. I'd rather have a clean, non-abused stock car and mod it on my own.

When in my search for cars I saw some where the mods really brought down the value of the car, IMO. For example cars with racing stripes, radical lowering springs, nitrous, heavy wheels, flowmaster exhaust, etc.

On a side note there was someone local who bought a used bolt-on LT1 Trans Am. Car sounded badass, ran great, etc. About a year later however the engine blew because the previous owner was using lots of nitrous. Just something to think about in terms of modded vs. stock. I know it's an extreme case, but it can happen.

I would make exceptions though. Recently I talked to someone who bought a 1999 White Hardtop A4 Camaro Z28. It had a built TH-400, 12-bolt rearend, camshaft, Patriot cylinder heads, valvetrain upgrades, Borla exhaust, LT headers, subframe connectors, full suspension, bolt-ons, etc. The car was built for racing and the seller was very honest. Granted the car had 106k on it, but he got it for $9900. I think it was a steal seeing as the car had a new rearend, transmission, top end, full exhaust, full suspension, etc. Basically everything except a bottom end. The interior and paint were also in great condition. Looked as good as my 1999 Black Hardtop M6 Camaro Z28 with 56k on it. Just something else to think about.

In general, however, I wouldn't buy a modded car for the reasons explained above.

Yup, I held out, too. Wanted as bone stock a Z as I could find. I did NOT want a modded car. When I found it, even the windows weren't tinted. Paid a little extra but I was willing to do that.

People beat stock cars just as hard as modded ones, but generally I agree with the above. My car is a steal, but since it is set up the way I want it, it may not appeal to every potential buyer. Worst case, sell your mods and return the car to stock, then sell it.
