Hello fellow Corvette lovers! It’s looking like it might be time to part ways with my baby after owning her for over 7 years. This post is to discuss what would be considered a fair price for the buyer while still being fair to me as well. By the mod list you can see a lot of time/money has gone into the car but being a rebuilt title and 172k on the odometer I’m really unsure what price to put on it. The car has been virtually stock up until a few thousand miles ago. Only reason I’m selling is working and going to school full time means this car sits way too much since it isn’t my daily driver and so I want it to go to someone who will enjoy it. All constructive feedback is welcome, thank you!

I’ve never rebuilt the motor but I purchased it around 122k so I can’t confirm if it was before I bought it. I did however do a compression check on the engine prior to the supercharger and they were all good. I plan on redoing the compression test and posting the pics of the results as proof when I do go to sell it

oh yes I was so concerned with the mod list I forgot the simple things like the year haha. It’s a 2001

It was involved in an accident in California, I saw the carfax from the guy I bought it off of and it had damage on the right rear quarter panel

Thank for the honest feedback! I completely respect what you have to say and I actually agree, that’s why I was seeking a realistic opinion among my peers. Ive easily spent 13k+ on mods (just doing quick math) and I know I’ll never get that back out of it but I was hoping to get near 15k for the car. I really don’t want to sell the car believe me but in your opinion on a car so heavily modded do you feel id be better off just parting it out?

My only advice is not to go to college simply for a degree that you won’t use. You’d have been better off going to vocational school and learning a trade you can actually use from day1 out of school.

The majority of college kids have debt for crap/degrees that are worthless in their post school life.

Honestly the car car without the mods would barely make $10k. Salvage title with very high miles. Any number you get wouldn’t be worth selling.

Yeah I mean I suppose I could go through with getting the carfax again, it had a bunch of pics of the damage on there if someone was truly interested.

I hear ya I actually went to Universal Technical Institue for automotive technology right out of high school. I’m also a veteran and have been going to school for the past couple years on the GI bill so selling the car isn’t so much for the tuition (because that’s covered) as it is that I simply don’t have the time to enjoy the car and feel bad it sits so much. I mean the car was “done” around 2016 and I’ve put only a couple thousand miles on it since then, so I clearly don’t drive it much. I just want a somewhat newer truck to get me back and forth to work and school something a little more practical and I really don’t want to finance it since my corvette is paid for. Hence the idea to sell the vette to pay cash for a truck. I know I know the truck wouldn’t be anywhere near as good or fun as the vette but life is about timing and right now this might be for the best unfortunately. Trust me...if this car sells I will end up crying as i watch it drive away lol

^ I agree. Cash out the bigger ticket items like the blower and wheels. You’d get the same for the car with or without those items.

Those wheels are freaking expensive.
