How much could I expect?

Greetings all,

I am in possession of a triple black, 2003 Corvette MN6.

I am considering selling it and was wondering what I could expect to receive from the sale.

Current stats:
101,000 miles
Cammed engine
Built exhaust (Kooks LT Headers, Corsa catless midpipe, Flowmaster quad exhaust)
Vararam CAI
HPTuners performance tune for 93 premium
Short throw shifter
Stage II Transmission build with performance clutch

New Additions:
Just paid $3k for new A/C
Car is currently in the shop but it needs some wiring work done, quoted at around $1000 so that'll be done as well.
New Power steering pump and parking brake mechanism

Paint is in all around good condition except for the front bumper which has a few chips.

LED light upgrades for the taillights and halogen brights upgrade for the headlights.

Thanks for any input!

I tend to think $17-18.5K or so. Unfortunately the mods add only portion of their cost to the value of the car for the right buyer and the other issues are maintenance items. Can't hurt to ask the $20K mentioned above and see where that gets you.

Hard to say without pictures. How's the drivers seat? Engine compartment, tires, etc? Everything needs to be considered.

Per NADA you're looking about $18-19K. That is assuming everything is in working order and the car is in above average condition. I think if you could find the right buyer you may be able to get $20k with the mods but realistically you may have to settle for $17-19K.

15-18K is reasonable. There's a bunch of 70K Z06s in the 20K price range, so you've gotta figure that people looking at something around 20K would likely go with a lower mileage Z. You'll probably have to aim a bit lower to get anyone to bite at it, especially at 100K miles. When I looked for my Z I tried not to go too far over 100K.

$15K-$17K at the highest. Out of everything you posted there's two things people will focus on;

- "101,000 miles"
- "Paint is in all around good condition except for the front bumper which has a few chips."

It's still quite easy to find sub $20,000 cars well under 100,000 miles which is going to hurt you against those cars. Paint work is not cheap to do properly if you're unable to do it yourself.

Like any sale I'd say start high and work your way down until you find a buyer that will buy at a price you're willing to sell.
