Ok I know somebody is gonna ask for it for 2 dollars or something but I have done a kelly blue book. Just wondering if you think I can get a little bit more than kelly blue book for my SVT (89k). Brand new painted hood and front bumper and brand new headlights. I think everything else is in my signature other than eibach springs and new sway bar endlinks and bushings. Both rear doors have a few dings in them even though I park rediculously far away from people in parking lots. Bad luck.

Probably wont be for sale for another few months but what do you think? Interior is spotless. Basically the car looks excellent for 7 years old and 89k.

you see this line right here......

this will answer your question...... by asking your self if you would pay more than book value for a 7-8 year old car!

to anyone other than an enthusist the aftermarket accessories like the headers, the chip, cross drilled rotors and resonator add little or no extra value to the car.

I guess my answer to your question is; to the average person your car is only worth book value. But, to someone who understands what the aftermarket accessories are about it might be worth more to them.

If you market your car to the right person you may be able to get closer to what you want for it, but, you may have to be patient.

Yeah I wasn't expecting the mods to get more money for the car. Just seeing if people might be paying slightly more than book value for the SVT. Not to the extent of a 94-96 impala ss but on those lines.
