Thinking about selling '95 T/A 6 speed

[inthered]

Just as the title says... I was thinking about selling my car. It has 145,000 miles on it and believe it or not most of those are highway miles. It's a 6 speed. The clutch has 6,000 miles on it. It has been fed a steady diet of mobil 1 synthetic its entire life at 3,000 mile intervals. It's not pristine or polished with a baby diaper but it's in fairly good shape. There is wear on the driver seat as is common with these vehicles. The starter is brand new less than 500 miles on it.

I was looking for your opinions on what it would fetch (with mods in signature except satellite radio and radar detector) and if anyone had any interest.

Going price for that type of car etc is around $3,500. Yes people are asking more than that for them all over the place, but that's why they are STILL for sale.

[deadtrend1]

my off the top of my head guess was $3500-$4000

[Dudbird113]

Around 4000 pesos

lol where are these prices coming from? Ive seen ls1 cars sell in that price range. its an lt1. crappy year because of obd1.5 and isnt a collectors edition. 3k would be the max i think anyone would pay for it.

3k if auto. the 500 extra because its stick.
same as how those cheaper LS1s are auto for the most part.

yeah but looking at his signature he has some exhaust work which is going to be a pain in the ass when trying to get the car inspected and its a bastard year. 3k seems tops. if it was a 97 m6 t/a with ram air hood i can see it grabbing over 3k and maybe even up to 4200 but not for a 95. im just trying to be realistic about the market here. it sucks but the market isnt what it once used to be

how does it suck ? hell it use to be for a 19 year old car with over 100k miles you were lucky if you could get $1000 most sold for $500 at max. so id think that being able to get that for a 19 year old car in this market is a good thing.

asking 3 grand for the car and getting 3 grand for the car is two different things. also cars have made more technological leaps and bounds from an 85 camaro to a 95 of the same model. they last longer and stay in nicer shape than cars used to.

95 is one of the best year lt1's to own. These are facts.

how is it? every other gm car ive ever known 95 was the year to stay away from since its an in between year for OBD systems. from everything ive seen and read the 96/97 cars would be the higher priced sellers with 93-95 taking a hit in price 93's/94's specifically for being early year of a new generation and 95 for the obd1.5 setup being an oddball one year setup

First year for vented opti system and tuning software is much cheaper along with a single cat. Other subtle differences that people who are aware can take advantage of.

[LTb1ow]

The ONLY advantage to 96+ LT1 cars is the lack of a real inspection at DMV. Otherwise, if you know LT1 cars, 95 is the best year.

Meh thats if youre selling it to an F-body person. If he plops it up on craigslist the average person looking to buy a car doesnt want mods on a car that needs to go through inspection for emissions. OBD2 will sell easier and better to the general public.

If you do manage to sell it to an F-body head, theyll find ways to chew you down even more, especially if they know what to look for on an fbody. there are a few points of every camaro/firebird out there that you can immediately go to and knock a few bucks off for not working.

im still saying max youll get cash in hand is 3 grand, but asking for 3500 seems reasonable to stay in that ballpark. i'd still expect someone to try to chew you down under the 3 mark though, especially since its modded.

There isn't anything done to the car that would make it fail emissions.

The other points you make are valid, but he posted on an Fbod board and all

headers = instant fail

Not true. Shortys can be smog legal if they do not move the cats and retain AIR/EGR. Others have had issues but I have personally taken 4 "post 1974 cars" with long tube headers through inspection and been fine.

And to the OP, this is the type of thing that is best answered with some pictures of the car in question. The true value can vary greatly based on how good the body and interior look, etc. If it looks like a pack of wild badgers ripped apart the interior and then drove it through a barbed wire factory, you'd be lucky to get $2k. But if the interior is clean and the seats are tear-free, and the paint shines up nice with no dents, cracks, or spiderwebbing I would say you might be able to get twice that.

lol billy makes a point. all this back and forth can be solved by just seeing the damn car. if its in as good as shape as maromans ws6 then you might be right billy

1. 93 was the best year for LT1's, speeeeeeeeed density /discussion
1a. 93's were actually the easiest to tune
2. I bought my 93 M6 car with ~128k on it in 2005 for 3500, so if you got that i'd be surprised

What color is it and hows the paint?

Nonvented opti is a dumpster fire.

As are burning chips to tune your car, as is a non MAF car, as is the crappy fuel line setup, as is the non PCM controlled trans, as is the complete lack of anyone to tune them well.

No idea why or how you would ever want a 93.

Not so much.

If by crappy you mean easier to access and work on, then you are correct!

Not an issue with an M6 and I bet if you asked Adam he wouldn't mind not letting the PCM lock out the shifts in his setup.

You had great luck finding someone tune your car, right?

It's a 93 thing...kinda like an LT1 thing.

lol it doesnt matter if the headers claim to be ''legal'' iirc you can be failed for the car being too loud or on visual inspection under the hood. youre at the mercy of the facility doing your emissions testings.
