I have a 2007 black C6 Z51 coupe with 31,000 miles. It has a rear widebody with $8500 Vellano 3-piece forged wheels. It is lowered with blacked out tail lights and side markers. It also has Kooks headers with high flow cats, corsa sports exhaust, and a callaway intake. It has a Kenwood DNX-5120 installed.

Just trying to get an idea of what it would sell for..

What would it sell for? What exact price or around what price range?

Uff tough call. It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I know... lame answer.

You need the 'right' buyer. Otherwise, it aint worth ****.

probably about $36k. Mileage is high and the only mod that is worth money is the widebody on the rear and the wheels. I just bought a 2007 3Lt, nav, F55 and chrome wheels with the A6 tranny for less than $30k. So I would say that $36k would be about what you could get for it if not less. And that is if it is the 3LT package

For a buyer where mods are worth nothing and may even subtract against the value of the car, I'd say $30,000 maximum.

Unless you are willing to wait a long time for the right buyer, you are basically selling a 2007 C6 with average-high miles.

Do you still have the stock parts? I would suggest putting them back on and selling the aftermarket parts separately. Obviously you can't with the wheels/wide body.

You can always put it on the market for about $40k and hope that there is someone out there that would mod the car the same way, has the ability to pay for it and decides that a 2 year old car is ok for a similar price as a new car. Used Z06s are in that range also.

Probably less than a stock one with that mileage. It's a matter of finding that "one" person who has similar tastes and is looking for that type of mods.

Wide-body conversions seem to be popular so I would think someone out there would be interested in a car with this already done. As for the performance mods, I think that is a wash - you don't get much back from those unless you pull them and sell the items separately...assuming you still have the stock parts.

But there is always an exception to the rule, try selling it as-is first and see what happens.

I agree with those saying it'll go for about $30k, if you can find a buyer. Your best bet is to put it back to stock, then it'd be easier to sell. You could try to sell the aftermarket parts separately to recoup some of the money you've spent on them.
