Should I sell it? Just for kicks, I am interested in seeing what you think my car should go for in a private party sell. The reason is that my wife and I are preparing to relocate 35 miles away because she is starting a newer with slightly higher paying job (She is an RN), and I have considered looking into an 03 Cobra. I would no doubt have to work a piddling job to help pay for it and still have plenty of spending cash.
According to NADA it is worth about $15K, according to KBB $12K
Here are the details:
1999 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6
M6 Hurst, Red, T-Tops, leather, Monsoon
93,000 miles (Mostly Interstate)
LG Motorsports Lid, MAF
K&N
Motive 4.10's, LG Motorsports Cover
LS1Speed Street T-56, GM Clutch & Flywheel (NEW)
I almost hate to even think this way, but...I am just curious...

15K w/93K miles sounds a bit on the high side, but whatever the market will bear!
Realistically, and depending on the right buyer, GUESSING somewhere around 12-13K.
You are caught in that 5 -7 year trap where most vehicles depreciate quickly. If you could hold on to the car for another 10 years or so, your depreciation wouldn' t be so significant. Despite being a WS6, the market is soft for V8's and F-bodies.
So many ppl selling them these days, for so many reasons. I know my insurance has jumped dramatically over the last 1.5 yrs (33% increase)....no points!
