Thinking of getting rid of my car
 

I've been thinking of getting rid of my car but have no idea what to ask for it. I know I do this every few months but I'm really torn about this one. It's a 98 1le, has suspension work, Moser 12 bolt rear, long tube headers, magnaflow exhaust. Don just put the motor, clutch and cam in a few months ago and dyno tuned it. The interior is mint, exterior needs a good detailing which will probably happen on Friday. I don't like the hard top and hate the crank windows. I haven't driven it since the dyno day, it just sits. I really don't have the time for it and have a few other projects kicking around. What do you think it's worth?

5k? How many miles on it?

Well that didn't take long! lol

Just over 100. I hope I can get more than 5k or I would part it out.

Unfortunately the values of the ls1 car is kinda down it seems. Maybe 6 or 7k depending. Hell ask what you want to and if someone buys it then that's what it is worth.

For a 98 probably 6k but i have seen as high as 9k if you can get the right buyer. I say put it at 9kobo and make sure it is clean when people look at it it's sitting there And you don't have to sell it. If someone offers 7500-8k jump on it.

I think I need to take the car for a ride and decide after that. The lack of power windows is really what bothers me. I know it's something simple but that passenger crank is so far away! I was thinking about a cts-v, c5 or gtm but we all know I would get sick of any of them too. Maybe I'll just put power windows in it.

i say keep it. and install the power windows.

isnt the underneath of that car kinda rough?

No the underneath is not rough at all, it was filthy but cleaned up very nicely.

Car is definatly a hard to find cool car but the only thing i see you having a problem with, are the same characteristics that make you dout keeping it......

95% of the people wanting to buy an Fbody these days are looking for power everything , leather ,T-top cars. Thats the only killer.

If it had power , leather , and T's you could sell it no prob for 7k+ , BUT , then you wouldnt be selling it Now would you! :sFi_hammers:

But hey , on the bright side............Theres no way you wont make profit ;)

If you part it, you have a buyer for the interior and ls swap parts hehe

:klab:

honestly, no way you would get more then 5k, unless you found some newb to buy it. Cars with 60k miles, t-tops, power everything, bolts ons, 98-00 are going for like 7-9k on the daily.

go on tech, built cars, HCI, 6spd, 70-90k miles, owners are having trouble getting 7k! especially the camaros. z28s can be had for dirt cheap.

Yeah I looked on ls1tech, craigslist and ebay they are all over the map. I saw lt1 cars for 5k and the only 1le I found was 13k but that had ridiculously low mileage. I took the car for a ride tonight and fell in love again. I'll keep it for a little while longer. I don't need to sell it was just thinking somebody might enjoy it more, it is a shame that it just sits.

If you are thinking about selling it again sometime soon, let me know. I want to get into a 6spd LS1 in the worst way haha. What did this car put down for numbers again?

Car put down 373 for hp and I don't remember the exact number for torque but it was close to that. If you are serious everything is for sale for the right price, pm me an offer and we can talk or come take the car for a ride and we can talk. I just bought another project, definitely not keeping this one but it's something I've always wanted to build.

You better off just owning no cars. Your not really into it and will only lose alot of $$ in the long run going through cars. I've seen a few people do it.

my 1le sold for 5500 this year. And mine was a LT1, 4 years older and about 60k more miles than yours. Same options it seems. So could you see more than 5k for the car? Yes i think you could.

It's definitely not that I'm not into it, just ask my ex about that. I get bored or frustrated way to fast. I find I have the most fun finding and tinkering with them, once they run good and the problems are all worked out I enjoy it for a little while and get bored with it. This one I took to you because with the new job and the army I don't have the time to work on them. I also have two other projects sitting in the garage and I somehow turned my daily driver into a third project.

throw it up on CL for like 6k, thats fair for a 6spd ls1

After driving it the other night I decided I am not going to actively try to sell it. If somebody makes me an offer I like I'll sell but I'm going to hold on to it and get some more work done to it. I was looking at storage units this morning and there are a few decently priced ones within a few miles of me.
