Want to sell my camaro but.....

I want to sell my camaro and get a cayman but as you can see my camaro is modded.

So anyone sold a modded camaro with fast serious replies on it?

Also i am curious if taking the mods off and putting it back to stock would be the better idea. But with doing this what all cars can i sell these parts too?

a Cayman? as much as i love my dad's.... thats not much of an upgrade, especially considering the mods you have done. all you will be getting is steering feel that is just absolutely sublime. but if you are dead set on selling your camaro, either sell it at a car show or part it out.

2nded, or look into trading it in as a DP for a Z/28 in two years (or less). Depending on what you've done to it the dealer may find reason to mark the piss out of the car as a one off and in turn give you some leverage in the negotiations.

Caymans and 911s are nice, but having done a side by side with my 4th gen I'd take my car on just a blind pick of the two. And it's a 4th gen. The benefits of parking in the 'members only' spots at the course to avoid bird poo.

Seriously, with the Z/28 99.99% confirmed just hold on to it. They say cars make horrible investments but at least you'd possibly have a leg up in trade over a stock SS.

You'll need to weight the expense of putting it back to stock vs what you can get for the parts off the car vs on the car.
As far as the Cayman, if that's what you want, go for it!

IMO, you will be better off returning it back to 100% stock and selling the parts.

For performance cars, mods usually reduce the price the car is worth. Most people view mods that they didn't do as added concern and possible extra cost as they don't know what kind of workmanship went into installing the mods, what kind of effect the mods will have on the car in the future, and what effect they had on the warranty (the big issue here especially with a supercharger and tune).

At best you might get an extra couple grand with the mods in place if you find a real hard core enthusiast but it still won't be as much as you could get if you sold the mods separate.

True and not true. Under previous cars, this is true. But since GM has said that any sort of tune on a car (which his car does) then the warranty is voided. So even if the OP returned the car to stock, it still doesn't have a warranty.

Returning the car to stock will net you more money, but it is much more time consuming, because you have to take the parts off and sell each part individually.

The problem with selling a modded car is that it is modded to YOUR TASTES. You have to find an interested buyer that has the same tastes. Fortunatly for you, the mods you have done to your car are very common.

I would take roughly 1/2 the price you paid for your mods (not to include labor) and add that on to the NADA value of your car. That should roughly be your asking price. If you are selling the car with the mods on it
