I know it's not a Camaro, but i wanted to find out how much i can get for my Firebird with the condition it is in. It has the Lt-1, but it needs a new water pump driveshaft installed (already have it) i also have a brand new water pump, timing chain, and distributor for it. The body isn't too pretty. Bent up hood (i have a new one, just needs paint) the drivers side fender is cracked, and the nose cone is damaged. I was asking $3,500 for it. But i don't know if thats too much for all the work it needs.

 

Would be kinda hard to judge without pictures of it, mileage, etc. From what it sounds like, it does sound a touch high for what needs to be replaced.

 

I got my 96 Camaro with 90k with no major problems for $4200. I would say your car is worth 2k or less unless it has like 20k miles on it. Painting a hood and fender would eat up around 1k or more of your buyers budget, and putting on a new WP drive shaft would probably cost $300 to $500 at a mechanic.

Not trying to be mean, but if you want to pull $3500 out of it, you would have to have it completely fixed. You may then be able to get $4k for it.

 

It has 170k on it. Would $2000 be fair?

 

2K you might find, given the right buyer. You'll have a better shot, if you can get the repairs done yourself. It puts you in a bind though, because you won't get back whatever you spend on the labor to install the parts, unless you have a buddy or someone that can do them for you.

 

$2000 is fair if it is rust free, has a decent interior, and is a decent base to repair.
