Losing my job & need sell my car. What's a fair asking price? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

zirotti · 10-04-2010, 08:16 PM

I was notified today that I am essentially losing my job. I JUST bought this car 1 month ago and without the income from this job, no way I can justify keeping it.

What do you guys think is a fair price for:

2SS/RS L99 (every option)

Mods:
Roto-fab CAI
Dyno-tune from Speed Inc. (got about 25 miles on it since the tune & CAI)
Pfadt lowering springs & sways installed by Berger Chevy
RK Sport spoiler
Heritage Grill
etc.

It's got about 4500 miles on it (all highway, in one month...)

Thoughts? Thanks guys.

You mite get 35 for it

Ironheadspearo · 10-04-2010, 08:20 PM

about 4 grand...... where can i send the check?

My prayers go out to you and your family brother.

I think it would probably go best if you sold it for exactly what you owe on it just to getout from under the payment until you can get back on your feet.

Is it too late to get unemployment insurance on your loan? I'd go ask your lender, but DO NOT tell them you've been notified your job is being eliminated.

Or... since you live in Chicago, you could also take it to the bad side of town and just leave it there. The rest will take care of itself.

Thanks man. If I got what I owe on it, I'd be happy. I don't need to sell it today, but would like to have an "exit strategy".

And there are a couple different bad sides of town

mikeSS · 10-04-2010, 08:25 PM

i hate to hear something like this... and your camaro probably is probably a beauty.

you might have better luck, putting back stock as much as possible

Ironheadspearo · 10-04-2010, 08:26 PM

gap insurance and back it into a lake

Hemlawk · 10-04-2010, 08:28 PM

Sorry man. :( that's really shitty

You might have to eat the cost of the mods. I'd say 34k-ish

Brettscamaro · 10-04-2010, 08:39 PM

Put back to stock and sell it for 34-35 or eat the mods...sell mods piece by piece

buzzy56 · 10-04-2010, 08:40 PM

Feel for you and you are not alone sorry to say.I have a Son whom has been in graphic design & employed continuously since college up until the recession hit.He had been out of work for almost a year and a half.Luckily his wife had a teaching degree which kept them going.Well he kept faith and finally landed a job(in his field) starting this month with a leading automotive supplier of mirrors.So just remember no matter how bad it gets there is always light at the end of the tunnel.Good luck and hope things turn for you in the near future.

zirotti · 10-04-2010, 08:41 PM

The only mod I can remove is the CAI, which honestly shouldn't really matter. It would cost more money to remove the Pfadt springs and sways to put back to stock. The grill and the spoiler are cosmetic and I still have the stock ones.

I mean, it's not like I have a blower, headers & cam on this thing.

Also have a Corsa cat-back on this thing.

Won't work, they're not dumb. They'll check and request when he was notified, check it with when he decided to upgrade and proceed to present middle finger.

Sell the wife, and keep the Camaro.

Jessica-Rocks- · 10-04-2010, 10:03 PM

That really sucks =( I have had several friends sell to Carmax and they were happy with it. Might be worth a shot for you. Good luck :(
