Default Determining Sale Price...Help

ok guys...need your help. How would I go about determining the sale price of my car. I could go to auto trader and look at averages or go to a dealer but not sure thats accurate due to the mods? any idea.. I know I wont get my money out of the mods but it must be worth something. Thoughts?? and thanks...Oh, and if youre interested in buying it, youre not allowed to assist in determining the price

Steve, I'm sure that others will have views on this, but I have no idea what effect the mods will have on the price of your car. I paid $53,000 for my bone stock '03 triple black, if that's any help.

What are you going to get to replace that beautiful car?

You are better off selling the mods and putting the car back to stock. I have been following the trader and it seems like any vettes with mods don't have any increase in value. You may find the right guy and the car may sell quicker with minor mods but it also is a deterant for most people. When people see a modded car they feel the car has been abused and thus stay away.
Just my opinion.


By the way, what does your car have?

Rob, see my signature for mods... the only performance mods I did were air in-air out mods...nothing done to the engine at all.. the rest is all what I consider subtle exterior mods that arent really reversible... SO I guess I need to wait for the right guy.. I think the wheels might bolt on the C6 so i will be keeping those, I think it would look sweet

Hey Mark and Kevin, yep...thinking of selling it.. Looking at getting either a c6 vert or c6 convertible... which also means I'm gonna blow out the c5 inventory I have

In the trader it seems like most verts are around 43-50.. I wonder if I listed it at 50 with all the mods how it would do?...thoughts ? again, I know it sounds like I have a limited market because of them...but damn...it looks hot...lol

He's right. The Majority of people want stuff that has been left STOCK.

I guess you can use ebay or this forum to sell your mod. parts....

Im looking to see if the 505a's will fit right on the C6 and if they do, the factory polished thin spokes with brand new rubber all around will be going back on, if they dont, the 505's either go with the car or sold seperately... as for the rest of the car...Pm me

and Michael, as I said when I met you the other day ( I LOVE your car by the way)... everytime I look at my car in person I say no way can I sell it, its sweet as hell.. I only start thinking about it when its in the garage and I cant see it. I just think might want to do the same stuff to it with a C6
