Need help on pricing a 2004

With great regret I have a 04 Mag Red Metallic C5 Coupe with 13,600 miles that I’ll be selling but I’m not sure how to price it. I’ve added Dynatech long tube headers, high flow cats, Corsa exhaust, Predator II, Blackwing, chrome wheels, GM warranty till Oct 2010, and some of the dress up accessories.

I can’t remember the name of the option package but it has the heads up display, auto trans w/3.15 axle, 12 disc cd, memory package, Z51 Handling package, dual roofs, twilight sentinel, and telescoping/tilt steering column.

What would you suggest?

Thank you

The long tubes may not be for every one, you never get back your money on mods. If you put it back to stock and sell your mods you will do better. I would price it just under 30k, like $29, 900 and be willing to negotiate just a little bit, the extended warranty is a plus.

I would ask 31k, but settle for 27k if it came down to it.

I agree if you want 29K price at 31K, but 27K would be giving it away for the mileage, and warranty. Hey I get to invoke the often cited phrase here, "I wouldn't sell mine for that that".

I would buy it in a minute for 25K, but if you want more 27K is about right in todays economy

29K is about right. If you sell it as soon as the snow stops, most likely you'll get it

sooner than if you try selling now.

Some good answers so far. It depends on how fast you need to sell it.
The mods could help or hurt, it depends on the buyer.
I agree with the others at 26-28k.
Good luck.

What color interior? Black?

Do you still have the OEM parts available and would they come with the car?

Thanks for your input everyone. Seems like a lot of car and options for $30K. Is trade in value all you normally receive for a used C5?

BTW, the interior color is gray and black. I do have the original header system.

Thanks again.
