I'm seriously thinking about buying a new GTO. In order to do that, I'd have to get rid of my Trans Am. Now I can't see trading this car in. I think it's best to sell it to someone complete. I'd rather not part it out at this point. So, make me an offer. Blue book for the car is $7800 and I'd like to start there.

There are a couple of threads that I started after I had low dyno numbers. The #5 cylinder was not firing at all. I solved the problem by changing the plugs and wires. The car runs excellent now. I drove it over 150 miles on Sunday in the mountains with no problems.

Location: Los Angeles, CA

I have all receipts and flow sheets for the heads. The blue book on this car is about $8,000. The mods alone total at least $9,000.

This car is not smog legal in California. If you want to register it in California, you will be responsible for obtaining a smog certificate. How you do that is up to you. I could never advocate bribery :-).

e-mail llafro@yahoo.com if interested

 

i live up in washington but i would only be able to offer you about 6500 =(. anyways goodluck with that!

 

I could probably get $6,000 for it trading it in. Someone needs to buy this car. All the mods are already made. I'd keep it, but I don't really need three cars. Nor do I have any place to park it if I did.

I said to make me an offer. What's it worth to you? If it turns out that I can't get much for the car, then I will keep it. It's not a money problem, more a space problem. I don't have any place to park it if I keep it.

This is what I get at kbb.com for the car:

Trans: 6 Speed Manual
Drive: Rear Wheel Drive
Mileage: 78,000

Consumer Rated Condition: Excellent
"Excellent" condition means that the vehicle looks great, is in excellent mechanical condition and needs no reconditioning. It should pass a smog inspection. The engine compartment should be clean, with no fluid leaks. The paint is glossy and the body and interior are free of any wear or visible defects. There is no rust. The tires are the proper size and match and are new or nearly new. A clean title history is assumed. This is an exceptional vehicle.

The only way you can consider a 9 year old car excellent condition is if it has 2000 miles on it. Or at least thats what the dealers will tell you. Excellent, when you do kbb, you have to type in good if you want an accurate figure, youd be lucky to get 4 grand for it from a dealer, i would think you could get between 6-7500 from a private buyer. But also remember that not as many people want a modded car as they do a stock car, especially from a dealer.

 

go look up invoice on the GTO or better yet, GMS pricing .. tell the dealer you'll give them $200-400 over that .. and then see how much you get offered in trade value ..... that's what I'll pay for just about ANY car ..trade in value .... since you said you were going to trade it in I figured I'd offer it ...

you can park it at my house
I will even drive it sometimes you know just to make sure it still runs and stuff,

 

the dealer will definitely screw you, my bro only got $5000 in trade for his 96 modded Z28 and they car was in great condition, i told him he should have sold it to a person, but he didn't wanna wait to find someone, his impatience cost him at least 2-3 grand.

 

I know. That's why if I do sell it, it's going to be private party. At least that way, I can find someone who would appreciate the difference it makes to have all these mods done to the car. I can imagine though if someone bought it unknowing from a dealer after I traded it in. They might go out and race their friends, and have a few jaws drop.

 

Any more offers?

i would offer 6500 except neither my parents would come to help me pick it up in cali =( maybe you feel like a road trip? . Man that is such a steal for that price i wish i lived closer.

 

Get a cheap South West ticket and fly down there...unless you really don't have $6500.

 

i have 3500. parents are paying the rest. im 16 worked hard for the money i have now, if i had more i would fly. i knew if i cud get 6500 that wud be the price i wanted to pay most for whatever car it is i get, now that i have it, i dont really cant bring myself to putting it off any longer to get more money.
