Well I've decided to sell my Trans Am and buy a C6 vette. The problem is....i really don't know what to ask for it. I paid 13k for the car but have put about 8-9k into it. I know you don't get everything you put into it but??? So i figured i would post up everything with some pics and get some opinions.
OK.....It is a 99 with 120k miles. Most of these miles are from driving on the interstate just cruisin. The motor runs excellent, no leaks, the oil is changed every 3k with mobil1, The rear end has moser axles with 4.10 gears, t/a performance cover, full bmr rear susp, subframe connectors, front sway bar, suncoast ram air hood, custom cai, underdrive pulley,longtube headers no cats and magnaflow exhaust with corsa clones, strut tower brace,160 stat, chrome and mirror accents, blue headlights and fogs, ls6 clutch,flywheel,master cylinder, b&m ripper shifter, tuned with hp tuners, crossdrilled/slotted rotors, c6 zo6 18x9.5 fronts and 18x10.5 rears with bfg kdw fronts and bfg drag radials rear, custom heated two tone leather seats, floor mats, blue led dash lights and interior, blue suede t-top shades, pioneer head unit with pioneer speakers. Almost 90% of upgradeds was bought 6-8 months ago. I have won two trophies, 2nd place at f-body gathering a few months ago and 1st place at local car show a few months ago. And i know this doesn't add value but Scott Settlemyer signed the engine bay! Any help would be great. Thanks

that thing looks great man, if i was looking for one in excellent condition like what yours appears to be i would offer you 15-16... maybe more if i had alot of cash but i think that sounds reasonable. doesn't matter how much blood sweat and tears you put in it you can get it back, but being the color combo helps out alot. i'de look closer to 16K

 

General rule is that mods add zero to the valve of the car unless the buyer wants them. Look up trade in and start from there.

I understand all the money you put into it but a vehicle is not an investment and you shouldn't expect a return on it.

 

you should just keep the t/a, it's a nice looking car.

 

no way your getting 15-16k for it. i would say 12k is pushing it...

 

Well, it's a real problem to sell a car like that. If you look through the for sale forum, you'll see what I mean. You can sell a stock or crappy car A LOT, LOT easier. The bank is only going to give miles+year KBB value, so you're only dealing with people with cash. People with cash might be looking for Vettes.

You do that much work to an Fbody, its either going to stay in the family or someone's going to get one hell of a deal.

You made your bed. It's a damn fine looking one, but now you're sleeping in it.

good luck.

 

i'de say 15-16 just because of how clean it is. it's a white WS6 with white interior. i don't know about you guys but i don't see very many of them driving around as i do a plain jane red, black, blue like us. 12K is way to low and i personally wouldn't sell it for that unless i NEEDED the money. blue book doesn't tell you anything about these cars because honestly people will pay what they want with these. i got mine for 13K with 60K on the clock. looked brand new

 

Also don't think i'm saying you're sitting on a gold mine, but some people want that car more then a plain jane one. on a site like this, good luck with getting alot. but if you park it somewhere or ebay it i guarantee you will make a tad bit more then 12K

 

It's a 99. There's no way in hell he'll get more then 12 for it. No one will pay big money for a 99. If it was an 01 or 02 they would.

 

Amazing car but i don't think you'll get what you want for it.

 

Where did you get the seats done?

 

put it as many places as possible and hope someone falls in love with itcause i know someone will be like damn and not really care how much you are asking or how many miles are on it

 

I'd say about $11K. It's really sharp, but the year and miles will hurt the sale. I couldn't even get a decent offer on my Z28 when I went Corvette shopping, so I kept it and bought a Z06 anyway.

 

excellent point. i bought my 2000 WS6 about three months ago. 44,000 miles and all i could get a loan for was $14,000. food for thought.

 

I say keep it. I think you'll be mad you got rid of it

 

dam that is nice, i paid $8500 from an old guy that works from the dept. of defense (98 Z) 78k ALL highway miles garage kept and covered i thought it was a 2002 when i first looked at it immaculate condition. t-top covers still in original package. all original camaro. i dont know if its just me or i got a really good deal on it.

 

Damn, is a beautiful looking T/A..very tastefully done..unfortunately I wouldn't hold your breath on getting more than 12k just bc of the miles and the year. Unless you hold out for that guy looking for this exact T/A or a collector of nice T/A's you're gona take a hit. I would keep it and save for that C6

 

IF i were u I would put as much of it back to stock as you can, b/c your never goin to get waht you have into it with that kinda miles

 

I ordered them from leatherseats.com and installed them myself. it was pretty easy!!

 

I only got 12,800 for my 2001 SS with only 66,000 miles on it. It was cammed and had all the bolt ons. Those miles would kill you. You would prob have it up for sale for months if you were asking anywhere over 10k BTW I sold my SS to get a Vette also Good Luck
