I am thinking about selling my Auto 97 Arctic White at the Corvette Expo coming to East Tennessee on Oct 13th. Just not sure about how much to ask , I have an idea, but a little help would be appreciated .
The car is loaded with the following , and I may forget a few things because a lot was done to it :

The car minor chips here and there , has had some paint work done for that reason , 1 minor ( less than 400 bucks fender bender according to car fax otherwise clean as a whislt report ) paint is maybe an 8 or 8.5 out of 10 .
- The bad is the mileage is 102k , but runs like new !
- the good:
the car has a full HP tune by Nick Steffens and it RUNS !
1- Novi 2000 by ECS with restrictor plate to 10PSI ( engine not forged )
2- 60lb injectors.
3- racing fuel pump.
4- silicone plug wiring and new plugs .
5- headers and high flow cats.
6- 2 guage pods , fuell pressure and boost guages
7- Z06 titanium catbacks.
8- Z06 Z51 leaf springs front and back.
9- a set of C6 Z06 shocks
10- chrome Z06 wheels , factory size , with very good BF tires
11- Z06 new 3.42 rear .
12- modded radio 2 din bezel painted black .

21- complete blue LED interior MOD
22- HID kit conversion for low beams only.
23- lowered on factory bolts .

there are few more things here and there
any thoughts on price?

 

lots of mods but i think 13k asking maybe you can get 12k

 

Trying to sell it at the Corvette Expo I would ask 12900 and hope to get 11500. There is a guy on here asking 14k for a 98 or 99 with 100k. He has told us he's been getting offers for 10k. However this is only because your selling it at the Corvette Expo. Be prepared for mooches that are check writers and will penny pinch every dollar out of you. However just slap it on Craigslist or Ebay for 14k.

 

you would make a couple thousand more selling the HP stuff and making the closer to stock before selling

 

 

wow. the Novi blower alone is about 8k and the brand new z06 3.42 rear was about 2500 , both have less than 2k miles on them if that .
the prices you are suggesting are what I see low end stock 97's go for.
hmmm....
I guess we will see.

 

It's a bad time to be selling a car, especially one that has been modded with a SC. Between the economy being in the shape its in right now, gas prices what they are, and winter approaching it is a buyers market with many choices available. As has been suggested, you might be better off removing the SC and what other performance mods that you can, sell them separately and then sell the car.

 

342 rear willl get you 600- 700 on here. The novi system will get you 3500-5000 here. top down mod= 100. Z06 catbacks 300-450.

A car with that many miles with those mods tells me wore out from racing. Take off all the performance mods & leave the cosmetic mods will help with that. The market is poop now. Selling a vette with 100K + miles will be hard to finance & not alot of people have $12+ laying around to spend on a vette when gas is $4 a gal. Regardless of taking off the mods or not, it aint lookin pretty.

I just realized that all the "stuff" I am doing to my car is for "not" when it comes to resale. My car is 10 years old & who wants a 10 yo car? oh well I will just keep it & drive.........
