I am considering selling so i can save for a house and this seems like a good time to sell i have a 2012 red jewel tint 2ss with 80k on it it has long tube headers cai a tune and exhaust work i dont want to sell but with the housing as expensive as it is here it is the only way i can think of to get ahead a little bit

If you have a 2012 it is a Crystal Red, the Red Jewel was stopped in 2011 due to not being able to get the pigment anymore for the color. My buddy just sold his 2014 Red Rock Metallic SS/RS with the same mods as you and with about the same miles and got 23k for it. And it was an L99 car. So it depends on what you want for it. There was a guy on here in Fl looking for a good used SS a couple days ago.

Low $20k's.

Sounds like regret in the making. Remember, you CAN sleep in your car! I mean, how many people talk about their Red Jewel Tint house?

While you may regret it, don’t let your car be the cause of you not being ahead. Unfortunately life happens and sometimes hard decisions have to be made. Thankfully this is the best time to sell it.

Realistically you’ll get low to mid 20k for it, I have a 2011 with 53k miles with headers/cam/intake and they seem to be going right around there. LS3 helps too.

Keep in mind that a potential buyer is most likely going to try to beat you down on the price. Especially a good negotiator. You can always come down, never back up. The market is in your favor. Poke around on a few sites like carvana, auto trader etc. to see where prices are. It doesn't sound like you are in dire need to sell it so shoot high. Say if you put it up for 27k & don't get any hits you can always drop the price. Low to mid 20's is realistic.

Browse the market (either in your area or nationally if you're going that route). That's the most accurate way to assess the value of your vehicle. Just bear in mind that a trade-in is going to take a big hit depending on the buyer.

And a house is exponentially a better investment than a car. It's not even worth debating on any level, to be honest.

Thanks for the support guys I really appreciate it I think I'm going to try and sell it on here first I'd like to see it go to someone on here if possible I love the car but I'm engaged and eventually gonna have some children and while I might be able to sleep in the car 3 probably wouldn't fit

Many big banks and high rollers are predicting a big reset in 2022. Good time to sell now but bad time to buy either a house or car.

Great time to stock up on TP or car parts tho.

If you are selling your muscle car before you even get married, you might as well put your balls in a box and hand them to her now.
