Default Question

Thinking very seriously about selling my 2017 C7 Z51 2LT coupe.
Car has approximately 8100 miles on it.
Never raced or tracked.
It's a rare color Blackrose with Kalahari interior.
Has won Best of show and a lot of 1st places in class.
Also Best underhood/Trunk art many times.
Have only been to 2 car sows where it didn't 1 2 or 3 place in class.
Has a ton of art work done by Steve Ray.
Has new Michelin as/4 Run flats.

Now question is this what's it worth.

My guess: $48k - $52k
Add $5k to a CarMax or Carvana estimate.

If the car is in excellent condition, I would lean towards the upper end of the price range posted in post #2. It may be worth a bit more, but the mods you have done have a minimal impact on the price since they are really individual specific when it comes to liking them or not.

Exactly, as those estimates will be wholesale pricing though I'd lean more towards to CarMax as opposed to Carvana as their pricing can be very erratic at times. .

Just get several offers, also use KBB. If you want to retail just add a few thousand. Compare with retail for sale sites. It's the season now in your area to sell.

it's worth what someone is willing to pay, many people are still unrealistic about what some of the cars are worth. The value has dropped off the crazy highs last year but people still think they can get top dollar. Thats why I seem them sitting for 6 -8 weeks.

I've never agreed with that old adage as purchasers pay both more and less everyday than what the general market determines items are worth.
Worth is the average of cost or amount paid from many sales of like items in a given area, not what a single individual pays for that item on a given day.

Say for example, someone sells their 2019 Stingray in excellent condition for a ridiculous low price because they need cash fast due to loosing their job or whatever reason, does that now mean that ALL excellent condition 2019 Stingrays are now worth that same ridiculous low price? Of course not.

I just bought a 2017 Z51 M7 1LT a month ago from Country Chevrolet in Virgina. Its perfect and only had 9,020 miles on it. I paid $55,000 for it . It also has carbon fiber on the hood ,top, and down the sides and back. I feel like I got an OK deal, but I could have done better if I had waited and looked around more.. After looking for about 4 months I was really tired of looking so I pulled the trigger.

Something else to consider is that not everyone is going to love the "artwork" that you have on the car so that could turn some buyers off. GLWS!

None of the trophies are going to matter to anyone, but is it an Auto or Manual?

Manuals are going for more money between the two and I'd say low to mid 50's if it was an M7.

Agreed, but some people think their car is worth way more than it actually is. I recently saw a car local Facebook 2017 base 3lt 20k mikes and she's asking 69k. this lady is out of touch. that car at best 55k. I have seen them in the 52k range. with the interest rates at almost 10% the market has gotten much softer. I think it will decline even more one we pass October

I was going to question this, because I'm car shopping and finding 5-6% for used and 3-5% for new rates.

So I googled it and found this:

https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/...interest-rates

Those are average rates so some people are paying crazy rates.

Black rose is one of those colors you love or hate. I love it. But it may narrow the potential buyers. Or give you an advantage to someone that wants it. Depends on your timeline to sell. Same as LRG.

starting to see C8 in the low 60's and some c7 dropping fast too, I think the market is starting to come back down to realistic

I don't think you're going to see C7 prices drop until the end of the summer. They dipped in the winter, but look to be heading back up like last year. My trade value has jumped $1000 in the last month.


I mean you may be right, but the market in general is back up again on pricing. Depends on how much summer you want to give up waiting to find out.
