Hi Guys,

LPP Stainless steel long tube headers (Installed by Baddls1ss)
Pacesetter off road Y-pipe
Borla stainless cat back
Staggerd Black C6 wheels (17x9 in front and 18x10 in rear)
Cross drilled and slotted rotors all the way around with hawks pads
New Brass gears in headlights
Founders performance double adjustable panhard bar, lower control arms, lower control are relocation brackets and poly end links.
Full 3:73 motive gears with all new bearings and seals (set up by Baddls1ss)
Alluminum T/A rear end girdle
Adjustable shocks
Slp intake Lid with new k&n filter
MSD 8.8 wires
Midwest race converters 3500 stall converter (Installed by Baddls1ss)
Full transgo shift kit upgrade (Installed by Baddls1ss)
Boxed subframe connectors
B&M transmission cooler

Almost forgot that Tom (Baddls1ss) who does all of the tuning for west bend dyno tuning did a full custom tune for my car which made a world of difference!

I love my car but due to the economy I have to sell it and buy a daily driver for the winter. I'm just trying to find out what I should be asking for the car for a fairly fast sale?

Thanks in advance guys

Dave

Default $6000!

I guess I should of clarified and said only people that have a clue give me an idea of whats its worth because you my friend don't have a clue! The car stock with 87,000 on it in good shape is worth more than that. I understand that I will never get out of it what I have into it but the fact that you said $6000 is insulting!

For 6k? The car would definitely be a "quick sale" lol

Start at 12k and work down, but probably wont get much more than 10k in today's market.

Nice car though! Tastefully modded.

Just a bit harsh since you did have "quick sale" in the title. These types of posts are always tough because owners always feel their car is worth a lot. Not to say that it's completely wrong, but a car is only really worth what someone else(usually someone looking for a great deal) is willing to pay for it. Also, I wouldn't call your car stock. In fact, with all the add-ons, if I was a buyer, I'd bet you'd got on it more than just a few time, which would definitely be a minus in negotiations. So, taking into account the crappy economy, your mods, plus the huge fact that you asked for a quick sale; I'd say you should get about $7.5K in a quick sale, maybe $8.5. However, I would agree that it's worth more. You'd definitely get more if you're willing to wait for the right buyer. One piece of advice, when you do advertise, don't let on that you need/want to sell quickly. Good luck! I actually wish you were selling when I was looking to buy.

No mean to insult you. Just trying to give u reality. I've sold a few cars in my time. So I know how folks think. Here is some examples of car I have sold in here.

This is a great shape z-28 with cold a/c, less miles than yours, more mods than yours and was 2 yrs newer than yours and this was 2 yrs ago. I had to end up leaving my $1200 NOS kit on it and then taking $7500 for it. Had about $15k in parts. It was a 10 second car and had videos to prove it. NADA clean trade in value: $7800, Retail value: $10,000...I got zero dollars for my mods.

This one is a fair shape Grand National with cold a/c, less miles than yours, more mods than yours, runs low 11's. Had new built engine and about $15k in parts. Ended up taking $10k for it.

Not trying to be mean, just giving you what I know.
