Default Thinking About Selling

I'm not sure I posted this in the correct section, mods, please move if I posted incorrectly. I wanted to know what my 2003 Black coupe is worth if I choose to sell it. The paint has minor chips in it, 42,000 miles, aftermarket black Z06 rims, misc. aftermarket accessories, and a Stage 2 Procharger with less than 500 miles on the system. What do you guys think is a fair price?

Try going to sites like KBB or Edmunds.com and get a base price for the car with factory options. Then factor in your mods at about 35-40% of cost. That should get you fairly close.

Umm, no. Looking to see what it's all worth together. I don't want to separate unless someone is willing to pay for the uninstall also.

I’ve seen this happen before, add mods like a ProCharger or cam/heads then look to sell. Are you unhappy with the results from the ProCharger?

A pro-charged Vette isn't exactly baby friendly.

I would recommend posting it for sale here. List as much detail as you can about the mods and horse power/torque output. Post a dyno sheet and lots of pics.

Best of luck to ya!

I'm think that's what I'm gonna do...I refuse to sell a procharged vette for some of the prices that these cars are going for. Looks like all I will get is around 28, 000 for it. Naw, I'll keep it before I give it away, especially sonce the blower has practically no miles on it.
