That price would be right on if your car had about 55K miles. But ive personally never done that. I usually just price my cars for what i really think there worth (double the dealerships trade in value  )

Most the time when I sell a car it is to get something else. By that time I am ready to go and don't want to dick around trying to get more money. Plus Karma is a bitch.

I tried with my car when I had no interest in selling. Everything has its price, just some are higher than others. Now I am serious and have a reasonable price and cant get a nibble. | |

I have contemplated putting my car with the built motor and trans up for 20k. Its a 2001 Z28 with 29k miles. forged bottom end cam only toy shop built TH350 on centerline convo pros with lots of weight reduction lol don't really want to sell it but if someone gave me close to 20k it would be gone and I'd buy a duramax

I tried selling my two cars on here, this board. And a truck, knowing I'm not going to get one person come and buy all three leaving me without a ride.
I can tell you there are some fucking idiots here, I was asked so many stupid questions I just told everyone I sold them both.
1. Why are you selling three vehicles? sounds odd to me. (guess he never heard of a dealership--they sell more than three at a time don't they?)
2. so the Z28 has a factory original SS spoiler, huh I never heard of a Z28 coming from the factory with that option.
The SS is going to sit in a garage, I'm moving dec 1st. I don't care if it sits and rots, I can't deal with these types of people.

I'm sure a lot of people try to overprice their cars, especially if they are modded. Everyone wants to recoup some of that mod money - I know I would. Prices can always come down.

You aren't doing anything a stealership wouldn't do. And people still buy from a stealership. No use leaving money on the table.

If the mileage were under 30k then yeah i could potentially see that as an asking price. But hell, I got my 02 z28 for 16k with 32k on it, and that was in 05. | |
