Idk if this is the right location or not for this

I'm considering selling my 2ss rs and getting a zl1 but I really don't know how to price it. Was looking for a little help please

2012 2ss rs fully loaded with 101k miles

New trans with warranty 3 year
New built rear end with a 3.91 with warranty for a year
New 3800 yank converter
Gpi ss4
Refreshed motor
New paint
All New bmr drag suspension and springs
New tires
New 1500hd starter
New battery
Interior 9 of 10
Lowered 1inch

Maybe a little more give or take. Just looking for a ball park estimate

Don’t take offense when I say this, but you’re looking at $20k tops if you can find someone who is looking for a heavily modded car. Otherwise you’re looking about $16k maybe less if you trade it into a dealer.

20k is right at what I was thinking really... if I can get about 17k I'll be happy. I just see a zl1 for a nice price I want to get. So no offense taken at all 😁😁😁

A new ZL1 from a dealer? What's sales tax like there? You may be better off trading considering any money made on private sale may go to sales tax when paying full for new car. Plus, you don't have to deal with joyriders just wanting to test drive or Craigslist killer/robbers or all the other hassles. I traded my '13 ZL1 in on my '17, but that was when I was in NY where sales tax is 8%.

In order to properly value your vehicle, check the market in your area for the going rate of comparable vehicles. Forget about what Kelley or any other "expert" thinks; it's all about the market.

I tried looking up camaros in the Greenville, MS region, but apparently you guys don't sell those down there! As such, it's going to be real hard to accurately price your ride. I know that up here in the Southern Indiana area, my 2014 LT1 V6 Auto with 50k miles is going for $15k-$19k just for comparison's sake.

It's a 15 zl1 with 124k for 24k.. I'm thinking about just keeping my car tho.. but ur right.. I still owe 16 on my car. And I may only get 10 trading it

^^^^ This exactly. I have a friend that has a 2014 ZL1 and he would rather ride in my Camaro than drive his ZL1 because he says MY Camaro all modded up pulls way harder than his ZL1 does!! Go figure. plus I can out run him in the quarter. lol. So yeah I would keep yours as it looks awesome and all the work you have done so far to make it "yours" goes a long way, plus as money allows you can do more to increase the performance. I would NEVER get rid of mine love to much!! Enjoy it sir...

It's a nice looking car. With new trans, etc. I would just consider forced induction for it.

ADVMax · 01-14-2021, 10:50 AM

No kidding?

The V6 seems to be holding a better value than I anticipated. Local kid at cars and coffee bought an '11 LS2 with 155k at the stealership for 15k. I wouldn't have given a third of that. Purty car tho.
