blah blah whats my car worth blah blah Well, I'm 19 and I'm gonna be starting college this fall. I was thinking about selling the ta and buying a bike. Gas blows in my car. Just wondering what you guys would "list" my car for... not buy. Let me hear what you guys think. Also it's my DD and by doing so the miles are going up and i'd rather sell it now to get more money out of it. Most people look for the low mile ones first...right?

Black w/ chrome lip C5 wheels with Falken 452(if i remember) tires w/ 90% tread left. Corsa tips. Painted all sidemarkers and third brake light black. Chrome "ram air" decals on the hood. Have a hotchkis STB coming that is used that I am going to polish(the 275 dollar one). Fog light/running light black outs. 5% tint out back and 35% on sides. I know there is more.............................................. .........................IF YOU DIDN'T FEEL LIKE READING IT, IT IS QUITE OF BIT OF APPEARANCE MODS....A LOT OF BLACK

lol I'll be selling it myself. Bought it myself i'm pretty sure I can sell it too, buddy. Like you, I had a 2000 v6 firebird. Mines not sold, it's totaled. I got hit...by an 18wheeler I might ad. Used that money on a down payment on this with some extra money of my own. I still owe 4k. I race it. I don't abuse it. I am probably a more responsible driver than you. I gun it 3-4 times a week...? That includes the weekend cruses... Some kids can actually afford and work for their own ****!
To anyone who wants to answer what I had originally asked, I'm all ears.

Your asking price depends on how fast you want to sell it. If you don't need to get rid of immediately, I'd ask $18K for it.

Car seems to be in excellent shape--if I was in the market, I'd definitely be interested. I'm gonna say $15K, give or take is what it's worth.
On the other hand, are you prepared to freeze your ***** off on your bike in the winter? A bike is a logical choice, what with performance and mileage in one package, but the winters up there are pretty harsh.

I would keep it if I could buy another car. They won't let me. If I do get another car the ta has to go outside. I only get the garage for the "convenience", not because my car is in perfect shape and only has 40k miles. Plus we are in the process of moving and I won't have a garage to park in. I'd rather sell it than have to worry about my car. Driving to work round trip would be 1 hr 15min. Then school is a good 50min round trip. All highway. Too many miles.
I guess I should list it for 17.5 and see how it goes.

I say keep it and the one guy had good advice about having dad be the front man on the sale..no belittling that I saw.
As to price..well, youve got to aask yourself "do you NEED a car like this?" well no, nobody needs a car like this, but do you WANT a car like this one? oh yeah baby, if I had an extra 17,000k in the bank and was tired of driving the "girlie" V6 model you used to think was fast, and your disposable income rivals that of the Catholic church (which youll need to feed the fuel and insurance rates) then this Goliath is EXACTLY what you want baby!

An older person can sell the car for more. Also remove the mods. You will get more for an unmolested car.

I'm leaving all the mods on there if I sell it. I don't have any of the stock parts. But yea of course i'm gonna let my dad show it and act like it was his. I thought he was implying that I'm a young dumb 19 year old who doesn't need one of these cars.. especially what I have done to it so far. I know a lot of people look for unmolested cars but this one is untouched internally. I would not ever buy a car with cam/heads but that's just me. I'm gonna talk to my dad and see if me and him are gonna sell it or if he is gonna let me buy a DD. I don't like driving this car as a DD. Too much hassle. I want a auto 4 banger to get around in.

clean car man! here's what I think... you have to remind your dad that you only owe $4k on it, and the car is in tip top shape. the parents I know of either my own or my friends are impressed when people our age can pay something off. congrats by the way for getting so much of it paid off at your age 
if you sell it, you're going to want another one eventually... especially when you get that DD beater car. you'll realize how much you miss it. if you got... say like a cheap economical car ($4k or $5k)... rack the miles up on it, then drive that ws6 when you feel like it. a $4k economical car isn't going to hardly cost anything if you opt for liability insurance.
