Default Contemplating selling the SS

I've got a lightly modded 01 SS with 14,000 miles on it. The car is fully loaded with leather, T-tops, traction control, and a six speed with the hurst short throw, but does not have any of the other SLP options. The only mods are a borla, wisper lid, subframe connectors, trailing arms and panhard bar. Due to the low miles, I'm struggling to get an idea of what I could get for the car if I were to sell it privately as opposed to trading it in. My initial thought is that it should be worth somewhere between $18 and $23k. Any thoughts on what it would be worth?

id say you'd get around 18k. You will probably get more if you turn it back to stock though and sell the aftermarket parts separately.

18k on the high side, IMO 23k is unrealistic....

I agree..I payed 10,000 drive out for mine....had 50,000 on the odometer....leather, power everything, auto, hardtop, CLEAN car..so i'd say if you can get someone to take it off ur hands for anything close to 18...DO IT!...and yea...break it down and sell off the mods....people think that a non modded car wasn't abused

Do what everybody else does. Post it for too much money in the for sale section. Then do a TTT on it for the next year.
