I have a 2010 listed and asking 26k it has more then 7000 in performance mods. I am literally 200 above trade in value and people think I'm high. The car will sit in the driveway before I let it go for 24k. My last option is to part it out and trade it in stock but I wanted to sell it CHEAP to someone who had planned on doing any mods

Camaros have a huge audience and when everyone and there mother is selling a used one - You have to expect some clowns to show up to your sale looking to get it below book value frankly i find it very hard to think most sell at book when you can find modded Maro's for fair price now.

Great no-sell. I'm happy u didn't take his low-ball offer.

Go to kbb to get the real value. Then opinions can come in on cost of mods which will be a few hundred here/there if you're lucky.

Lot of reasons why the guy went with the 45th. May have received more financial support from the wife. May have figured he'd use the money on new and pay for much longer months. I wouldn't jump to say he's just low ballin.

A good indication of what the true value of your car's worth can be found on Ebay, log in and look at the completed listings and see where the cars that did sell were priced at, and see where the bidding ended on the unsold cars. The KBB and Auto-Trader values are just guidelines and based on what I have seen are not real world. When pricing the ultimate question is do you want to sell your car or do you want to have your car for sale?

I was offered 21k for my 2011 SS. If he would have game me 25.5 I would have took it.

Your mods are taking away from the value of your car. If you had left it stock 25-26k might have happened. When you modded you voided the warranty, and also took the majority of buyers out of the market for it.

For example I had my fully modded 10-1SS with 2500 miles on it and 8k in mods, perfect condition. The car ended up selling for less than it would have had I left it bone stock for the reasons I listed above. After months of being for sale I finally cut it loose. Painful lesson learned, don't mod unless (1) you plan to keep it for a very long time or (2) you don't mind the financial hit you will take should you decide to sell.

$25k is a low ball offer. Just got over $30k for my 2011 with 30k miles. Don't believe the hype - your car is worth MORE THAN THAT.

It's all about being able to find that right person that loves your car and would have built it the same way as you. That is rare because most car builders like their own little twist and when they see a car already done and its a way they would not have done its hard to sell. If you have patience that right person will find you. It just all depends on how much time you want to kill with your car on the market.

$25K isn't bad for a 2010. I sold my 2010 back in late 2011 for $27.5K. So $25K is pretty good considering the car is low $30s new and its four years old. Consider that a 2009-2010 C63, which was well over $60K new, is going for $35K nowadays...

I was getting a lot of resistance from the wife so I told him I would think about it so give me a better figure. That same weekend he goes out and buys a $45,000 2013 vert. Go figure I guess he really wanted a Camaro.

Is it a 1SS or 2SS/RS? That does make a big difference.

7k is really low miles! KBB for a 1SS manual show 27k for fair condition. So 25k is pretty low.

Some mods do violate the warranty and are a turn off to some folks. But not down to 25k unless its a salvage title.

Turbo_J89 · 07-10-2013, 05:22 PM

I had a 10 2SS RS in excellent condition with 40k. I was very lucky to get $23,700 for it. I've watched a lot of eBay auctions on others selling and $25k is slightly under a fair price but not far off. Someone can go buy a brand new one for right around $35k. 4 years old for $25k, not that bad.
