Most people are looking for a un-modded car, but good luck on the sale of your car.

yeller z06

True that.

I do.

KnOmEeZy

I get that, it's obvious that I would have a much smaller market for a modified car

mschuyler

No. You are overvaluing yours. By modding the car you have reduced the population of buyers who are interested. That reduced population translates to less value. You needn't get into the philosophy of it at all. The market is what it is.

KnOmEeZy

which is why the option of converting it to stock and selling parts to yield 60k is an option.

keep in mind someone said 30k in this thread...

dryadsdad

Here it's worse. The OP just screwed a bunch of mods he wanted and left it at that. There's no indication that the result is reliable or fast. He gives no indication he's run many miles and he openly states he's never done a quarter or a top speed or a loop of VIR or whatever he was after.

Frankly, it looked to me at the OP that he screwed all this on, then realized it was a bad job and is now bailing.

$100K ? I don't know what all that might entail, but if return on investment is the issue, 1) you "invested" in the wrong thing, and 2) anything you can unbolt and sell separately is your best bet for recouping a little of it. Otherwise, it's just another used car. A search of such for sale will give you your best estimate of what you might get for yours, but asking price and selling price often vary, of course.

All the best, in any event.

and the earth is flat and vaccines cause autism.

you ignore the part where I said I wanted to run it this season? You know the car is not for sale yet right?

I also have every receipt from every part and install...

but go ahead and just make stuff up in your head and choose to believe it lmao

KnOmEeZy

thanks,

car was 75k new, easy to go over 25k with these parts installs, tuning.

but yeah, I feel like this forum has been clear on that

I also feel like a majority of corvette guys here don't have a lot of experience in the modified market vs. A regular used car.

KnOmEeZy

Thanks, if I sell it

mschuyler

Brings up an interesting point. If you returned the car to stock and sold it, would the fact that it had been modded be disclosed? There are some who would claim these mods, even if taken off, represent diminished value. And if taken off, the only way to tell is to look at the ECM for a tune, which would at east indicate that "something" had been done to the car, assuming a buyer was astute enough to check. So my question is, would you disclose what had been done to the car or would you just forget to mention the mods?

dryadsdad

All mouth and no runs. I'd not bid on your car at all and if asked by a friend, I'd advise a pass. I don't see a functional car but a hot air production machine.

KnOmEeZy

You sure are an angry little fella

KnOmEeZy

Interesting question. I would disclose it in the listing, and if asked.

If I were to sell it to a dealership, I probably wouldn't bring it up.

I doubt I would go through the trouble in the long run of converting it back, probably just keep it if I couldn't sell it for a decent price or find a buyer who has experience with modified cars.

JayhawkCPA

I'd list it for $50K

KnOmEeZy

Thanks for the input

Good example --
This modded (supercharger, etc) 2014 3LT Z51 for $46,500 in NC
that you mention should give the OP a good idea for an "asking" price" --

Bill Dearborn

Compared to the GTR the C7 is a high volume vehicle. GM produced about 4 times more C7s in 2014 than all of the GTR production combined over all of the years it has been produced. You are talking about a lot smaller Customer Base with different interests than the Corvette Customer base. That alone will swing what people are willing to pay and then of course there is the volume of cars available at a great price for somebody to put their own mods on and not rely on your version. Put it back to stock and sell it and the mods separately.

You are trying to compete with a professionally engineered and built C7 Z06 that has everything put together in a nice package. There are plenty of used ones around with most still having at least a couple of years left on their power train warranties.

Bill

village idiot

The problem is you can buy your car with a shitload more performance upgrades (brakes, cooling, wide body, etc etc etc) as factory stock with that many miles for your same asking price. It's called the Z06. They're a pully and some minor mods away from making the same power. Quite frankly, almost everyone would rather have a factory stock Z06 than your car. You need to price yourself under Z06s of the same mileage.


You paid $75k for a stingray?

mschuyler

Sure. That's not unusual. I paid $72K and that was with a 12% discount off MSRP (3LT vert, MSRC, etc.) Add sales tax on that and you exceed $75K easily.
