02 z28 needs help...

[whitez28]

The transmission just went on my z28. It's an automatic and i can't afford to fix it. If the blue book value on it is $7500 what's a reasonable asking price for the car if it needs trans work which should be around 1800 and a new driverside door which will be 1000 total. I know i should just fix it but i need to get rid of it anyway....

Sorry to tell you, but the door would not be a factor in the resale price.

[whitez28]

why would it not be a factor?? You;re saying if you went to buy a car and the door needed to be replaced you would still pay the full price??

[wrightz28]

Ohh, my bad, I read that as you put a new door on.

[whitez28]

up.... anyone???

I sold my Z28 after I blew the tranny. I just took what I thought it would be worth in working condition, then subtracted the amount quoted to fix it and listed it a few hundred more. That way I had room to negotiate.

So... for example:
$7500-~$1500-$1000+500=$5500, so you could start at $5500, or whatever you think is reasonable. I sold mine to some dumb kid, so I lucked out a bit.
