Might have to sell it

Do to some situations out of my control i might have to sell the L and get a different vehicle, its not a money problem but 100mile commutes arnt looking to good for the L.

Just wandering what yall would think it might sell for,

2003 Sonic Blue
17,000 miles
TCE Willwood big brake kit http://home.houston.rr.com/meatbag/...ing-dir/Brakes/
Bassani cat-back
filter and REM intake tube http://home.houston.rr.com/meatbag/L...d%20intake.JPG
Stereo upgrades http://home.houston.rr.com/meatbag/Stereo/
******* x2000
3inch shackles
Delphi boost, water temp, and fuel pressure gauges
Never been to the track

Figured it would be worth it to part everything out to get as much money back as possible, what do you think?

Nothing is set in stone yet, just trying to figure out my options.

Check the Blue book...But I would guess, as is, 23,000.00us

Sorry that your backed up...how bad may also help you set what price you want as you know how fast you have to sell...Be cool and see how it goes...

You could try E-bay to see what the market there is as well...Good luck...

29k is way high I think. of course its worth what somone's willing to pay. mods don't count more much (or anything) when you're selling it. in fact, they'll scare many buyers away. exhaust and intake mods may be ok. I would say it should sell somewhere in the 24-26k range.

If you decide that you want to sell, I'll help by taking that sub enclosure off your hands...I've thought you had one of the nicest sonic blue's on here with the few but clean mods you've done...sorry you might have to get rid of it.

Jeff

BTW I'm only a couple hours away from you so you wouldnt have to worry about shipping...sorry for being a vulture

I believe you ~nightcrawler~

I bet you will be helping a group member out...I too have found that the Kelleys Blue Book is not very well believed...That's why I said the price I did...But I later looked at his pictures...Very nice...What he showed was first class and I bet the rest of the truck was as well looked after too...

~nightcrawler~
You have some sharp truck there...I like it...nice sign off...

Nice truck

I would say it should bring $23-24k.

A new 2003 would have been about 29-30k (after ****ering). You lose 5-6k when you drive it off the lot.

17k is a bit high miles for an 03, but the mods might offset the miles.

If you're interested in parting your truck's mods out...I'd be interested in some of the stereo stuff.
