youd be better off selling it and using that cash as a down payment

most, if not all dealers wont give you more money because of "mods" or upgrades, they have a book value and thats it. You would be better off selling it privately

The car's probably worth about $8500 max. If i remember the pics of your engine it's an 00 engine wish isn't much better than the 98 ls1 besides having better heads. The fact that another engine was pit into the car might even steer people away from the car...

its a nice car but the dash brings down the price considerably...its cracked in like 10 spots when i saw it. cloth interior. 98 model. the thing that makes your car desirable is the transmission.
how many miles are on it?

Any time you trade in a cr you only get a fraction of the value, even less than a private sale. Best bet is to talk to a few dealerships, see what they will give you as a trade in and then sell it yourself. You will get a bit better money for it and you willbe able to make sure the car isn't going to some random auction house, scrap, or to some retard that won't take cre of it.

How much is the GTO gonna cost you? Your car will be a tough sell to get much more than $6-7K if you're lucky. The M6 helps though.

Never trade to a dealer, they will always give you less than its worth. It would be even more of a hit because of the money you have into it. Try selling it yourself for a while.

Sites like kdd, nada and edmunds will give you ball park estimates regarding value, both private seller & trade-in. Remember to be honest in the assessment. With a cracked dash board the car is at best 'average' condition. And 'mods' rarely help resale and never help trade-in, often it hurts both cases.

kbb is no where close to the actual price. galves is the book/site most dealers use.

If you are dead set on trading, demod the hell out of it first, and send it to the dealer as close to stock as possible. Good luck, I was tossing around the idea of a GTO for a while after selling mine. If you search you can find a few deals.

I test drove a GTO a year and a half ago when they still had 06s on the lot and 0% financing. They are very nice cars and have come down considerably since then. The only thing is that its not a huge upgrade from what you have. If you never got a 98 then a GTO would be a wise choice. Its all up to you and if you can handle getting raped by a dealer and/or handle a bigger payment then go for it. They are better cars overall after all.
