I say sell it for sure. $4500 is a very good price for a 93 model.

I say sell it for sure. $4500 is a very good price for a 93 model, especially with it having $3000 in damage.

man thats a beautiful car. It looks so clean for a 93'. I have to say sell even though its awesome looking. Truth is its an old car and the value will prolly go down by the year. I'm still just amazed how good it looks for being like what 14 years old...

Did the insurance company give you the 3k check?

If so yeah go ahead and sell that car for the 4500, take that 3k check and save up about 4-5k more andget yourself one with half those miles on it. That Z looks nice but 107k on it is pretty high. If you plan on keeping the car for a really long time, try to find one with less miles on it, unless you dont mind or are able to do any necessary rebuilds etc of parts that may need it from wear n tear.

She's a beauty, but the $7500 you'll have in hand will go long way toward a newer LS1 fbody. Sell.
