What's it worth??

[Batmanntexas]

Hello all. I'm toying with the idea of letting my Baby go. The car in question is a 2012 Camaro 2SS/RS, LS3, with about 71K miles. Below are all the mods.

- 2.9L Whipple, 3.625" Grip-Tec pulley
- LT headers (1-7/8")
- full 3" exhaust
- ported stock heads
- custom blower cam (227/243 @115) w/springs
- solid trunnion bushings
- 115lb/hr injectors (@58psi)
- twin AGP fuel pump system, E85 compatible
- Alky Control Methanol system w/4-gal trunk tank
- Active Interchiller (non-competition)
- A-pillar dual gauge pod (boost and A/F)
- Rohanna wheels, 315/30 and 275/40

Now, for the important stuff....

@ ~10.5 psi, on 93-Octane - 745/636 rear wheel
, on E85 - 806/676 rear wheel

Both of those runs were without Methanol.

Is this worth $28-30K? To low? To high? Out in left field?

Thanks,
Scott

I think that is a good starting point. Right buyer and you are set, but if you are really wanting to get rid of it for any reason, you will definitely be dropping the price. Even though it is a solid built car, the buyer will be like "oh they beat the hell out of it".

I just bought my 11 for 20k it only had 13k miles though. I also did a whipple, no cam yet or head work or meth and have about 15k into it. If I were to sell it tomorrow I would ask 30k. Would I get it who knows. Its a funny thing when you start modding. If it were all stock I'd day 16-17k in may area. Trying for 10k for your mods would seem fair to me

My experience is mods often hurt resale more than they help unfortunately. Your car looks like it’s a hell of a monster. Best of luck with your sale, it would be hard for me to let that one go!

In my opinion, mods are great, and sadly expensive unless you do the work yourself. Now what do mods do for you? Well, for the most part, they are put on to make the car go faster. And, if you modified the car to go faster, one would assume that you did indeed enjoy all that newfound power. I'm sure you enjoyed it more than once or twice. And there's the rub. How much beaten did you do? Nothing wrong with that, mind you, but like a good race car, when you really get on it, constant maintenance is needed to keep everything in tip top shape. So yeah, dealers don't want these type of cars, and some people are just scared at how worn some parts may be, OR are really scared at the power you put under the hood. Will they wrap it around a tree?

Look for a modded 5th gen on the market with similar equipment, and set your price within that range. Good luck.

This^ Myself, I’d be leary to buy a heavily modded car knowing that someone had -some- fun with it. Age old argument I spose. Someone will buy it and take their chances. Good luck. Sounds like a fun car.

If you find someone looking to do exactly what you did you may find a buyer. I'll tell you when I bought mine I already knew I was supercharging it. I would have paid 25-30k for what I was looking for if it had the low mileage I was looking for. I wanted very low mileage though.

Joking, awesome setup and good luck with the sale!

Thanks fellas, I really appreciate the input. I'm keenly aware of buying a modded car, the wondering of just how much it was beaten on, etc. To those potential buyers, all I can offer as a testament to how I treat this car....it's still on the factory stock clutch. They would then look at it in 1 of 2 ways:

1. Car was taken care of, enjoyed responsibly, and not 'beaten' on to bad, or
2. Car is a ticking time bomb, and that clutch is just waiting for me to buy it and go 'BOOM!'

I definitely believe I'd have to 'find' the right buyer...I suppose they're out there somewhere....

As others have said and you seem to be aware of, a modded car can be difficult to sell, especially if you are trying t get more then what it's stock 'siblings' are getting. The average buyer will either not want to buy it or will only offer less then what the current market value is for a stock equivalent. However, if you have patience and are willing to wait for the (posibiilty) of the right buyer coming along, then you might get close to what your are thiinking about asking for it. Personally, I would never touch a car modified by someone else unless I really knew them, the type of work they put into it and how they took care of/drove it.

You should hold on to the car and continue racing and modifying it (unless you need to replace it with a family car. Yes, babies happen).

If you really really want to sell it without losing your shirt, only a fellow racer will pay for the performance mods. Everyone else will absolutely not want it at ANY price.

Have you thought about swapping parts with someone wanting the mods you have and taking their stock stuff and some cash to boot, then return yours closer to stock? It may be a way to get more of your value back. Of course the way that works would mean you almost certainly have to do the work yourself and basically give your labor away for nada.
