How much is my car worth?
 

I hate to ask, but I have to seriously consider selling my car. I'm going to be moving and my expenses are going to increase dramatically, and a second car would be a serious burden.

Most people probably know all this stuff, but here are the details:

1997 Firebird Formula
102,000 miles
Dark Yellow Green Metallic
Automatic with 3.23 gears
T Tops which do not leak
Traction control
Power windows/locks/mirrors
Monsoon cd audio system, newer speakers
Gray cloth interior in excellent shape
Paint is in good condition but has a few dings and scratches
Brand new OEM water pump and distributor cap, new rear calipers going on soon. Good battery.
Car runs strong and hard, no issues with the opti.
It has some seals and gaskets that leak, intake manifold, oil pan, possibly valve seals. I've just been driving it as is and topping off the oil but ideally those should be fixed.
AC is not working, I believe it has a leak somewhere. Compressor is fairly new quality non-remanufactured unit along with the dryer, expansion valve and most seals. Heat works.

I would be selling it as close to stock as possible. It will probably include the cold air intake since I don't have a stock intake to put on. I plan to sell the WS6 wheels and Koni shocks separately. Stock exhaust, all emissions present and working.

Anything I'm forgetting? I just want to get an idea of what I should ask for it.

NOOOOOO!!! Don't do it man, I regretted selling my 93 for the longest time until I got my TA, but, I got 3800 for my Z when I sold it just to give you an idea. 180k on it 6 speed, basic bolt-ons, chipped front bumper, ripped drivers seat, somewhat leaky t tops, no mechanical issues that I was aware of. I think you should be able to get more than that for it but most people will cringe when they hear about leaking oil seals.

Sorry to hear you have to move. You sure you have to sell your car, maybe you can just store it until you can get back on your feet.

WHAT! Where are you moving to!

Your car is clean as hell but we all know the market for them. 4-5k I think would move it. When are you planing to move? I'm almost done the garage lol

I'm only planning on moving two towns over. I just hate where I live now, and I've lived here for almost five years. To make this work something will have to get sacrificed, and the car is the obvious choice. It sucks but I have to make some difficult decisions. Life has a way of catching up with you.

That would be fine if it didn't cost me anything, but finding an arrangement like that is a long shot. I had a friend offer to let me park it at his place, but it would have to stay registered per that town's BS regulations. Just to keep it on the road is about $80/month. Things are going to be tight for me if this all goes through, and even that much would be a drag.

That sucks but maybe down the road you can get into something better. Doesn't mean you won't ever get Into another f-body again. I'd say 4-5. They are nice cars just sucks the retail value isn't there.

If I can ever get myself into a better position I would definitely get another one, and it would be a six speed next time.

As far as the value of it I would be really surprised if I could get $4K for it but I suppose that would be a good starting point. I'm still not 100% sure I will be selling it but I don't see many good options for myself.

4k for your car is more then reasonable. Its hard to find clean unmolested 4th gens.

Just start whoring yourself out.......:buttsecks:

Not a bad idea right there
