I think thats everything, lol
I bought the car for 6k$, I know I put more than that into it, i just want it to go to a good home and what to get whats fair for it.

Everything listed has 40k miles on it max, odometer reads 200k, but just about everything has been replaced

Ive taken care of it like my baby for the past 5 years ive had it.
I have pictures of me and my dad installing engine and trans somewhere.

add ons are almost always a complete loss on used cars. dont expect to get anything more than nada will say unless you sell privately, then it is worth what you can convince someone to spend. really really dont expect to get money for replacement of used parts

4000 if clean.
the best you could get would be 5000 IMO

to me the car would be worth just keeping. you gotta think could you ever replace the car for that? but then again maybe thats why my garage is full of cars i never drive.

Id keep the 4th gen (sweet btw) and get the 2012. Like the pp said, add ons r lost on a trade in. They will give u bb and thats about it :(

and take the SS badging off already

[daveagogo1]

That is a sharp ride. Sell it private. If you were local i'd give it a look over.

So you put the old parts onto a new block? What does this have in it now?

[vroomapunk]

EDIT: I dont know why I said the heads are original, they were new lol.

I will most definitely sell it privately, I know I wont get anything from a dealer.
If I cant get 4k or 5k then Ill probably keep it.

I didnt have as good of a job now as I did then, and couldnt afford insurance or gas on an ls1.

Bottom line, If I was 16 or 17 right now, I would love this, Im hoping some dad wants it for his kid as a cheap first or second car or something.

Its still a V6, I only had enough money for that at the time. The heads, valve covers, and intake are original, but everything else is new.

And I know about the SS badging, leave me alone haha I was young.

And actually I live in new orleans, so im not that far lol. I worked as a detailer thru college so the paint is still very good on it, I kept up with it as best I could.

Thanks for all the responses guys.

I guess I realize I put trade-in in the subject, lol. I just meant I need to sell it when I buy a new one, not trade into a dealer, my mistake, didnt think that one through.

[Wizard1183]

You shouldn't have a prob getting 4-5k. Put it on eBay

[VR Baron]

My 98 z28 not as nice as your car and privately may get 5-6000, but is a low mileage car.V6 I dont know but dont trade it. Dealer only offered me 3000 trade in and said sell for double privately. For the new car, nice color choice!

[vroomapunk]

Thanks, I figured I need to stay away from a dealer with it since they would only look at the odometer and not care about what I did lol.

And I went back and forth with RJT and VR then IOM and VR, but had to settle on my all time favorite lol. I cant wait to get it and start modding lol.

[daveagogo1]

VR is the way to go. Hands down the best color. Of course i am biased.

[Wakemaker89]

Gotta agree with dave here VR is the way to go!

That may be the nicest 4th Gen V6 I've ever seen. (Not a fan of the SS badges either, but, sweet car nonetheless.)

[doubletap407]

sweet car man ! you should get 5k to 6k easy ! But do us all a favor take the SS off . It makes a bad statement ! By the way man it is an awesome looking ride!
