$82,500??
 

Worth it?

I mean it's a NICE car.. I love the color and I dig the engine.. but is it worth that much coin?

I'm think more in the $50k (maybe $60k) range.. thoughts?

No.... I think that the interior looks cheap and under the hood has to much going on I think. I dig the wheels and the motor though.

I think it could be. It's a pretty clean car, but the TCI stuff has to go. That front clip is junk, but other then that the car's pretty nice.

The TCI test car was at the track last time running the cones and the skidpad. It had the new TCI front clip and rear deal.

It pulled over 1g in one direction and almost g in the other direction on sticky Toyo RA1 R-compound tires..

True story..

If I had to guess, I'd say the low end of fifty, if that.

82,500 for that.......So that makes your car what steve 130,000+?????

No way. I saw your post title and expected alot more. What is special about that? I dont even think it deserves 50k, but I could understand it hitting that mark maybe.

Hey Craig, you coming down with the Vette for the shoot/test? .. if so I owe ya a beer I think.

The Vette is done, and will be tested April 4th. Sony has even done all the shooting for GranTurismo HD! We want some track time!

We even have a video camera on its way and mounts to get some driver perspective for the slalom.

Very close to what I am going for, but t-56 and no ls2.:( Pretty nice car though, lots of things I would change.

No kidding? Wow, I have heard nightmare stories about TCI stuff. I still think the car is pretty nice and a few things done to the car would really make it worth more, like cleaning up the engine bay, but I'm not going to bash the car, it's not bad IMHO. Where did you come up with the $82k, the owner?

Reserve not met!!!

seems high. No LS7 (Z06 reference), no mi nitub, no real trick suspension/brakes. very nice car but a bit overpriced in my opinion, but it's a dealer so they need their cut.

It says is near the end of the description..

I don't see that much wrong with it, Some stuff I would do differently. Over all the car presents well. The stance is great, the wheels flow with the car well and the color is nice.

I don't see it bringing that much $$$$$ though.. but I've been wrong before.

Not to get anyone fired up. But the fit and finish on that car looks cheap to me, There are some good parts and money spent but the overall car does not fit the bill by any means to me. Lacking some tactfull taste especially in the interior.

Somebody might pay $50... but definately not me. The floor pan is more beat up than your last girlfriend.

I see that the Z06 reference was toward the C5 Z... not the C6 Z.

I agree that it could be worth it with not much else done to it. The interior is hurting it, especially the center part of the dash is pretty cheap looking. I think they would have been way better off painting the underneath trim black. If your not going to smooth off the floors better than they did, you shouldn't paint it body color, IMO. There's definately some time and money invested. I think 80K is in the realm of possibility, although it probably won't bring quite that much. However, I hope it does for all our sake!:thumbsup:

still wouldn't be an LS2! :D

Yeah I doubt it will get that, might get 60, but that's about it. I didn't see the where it said the price they wanted. I don't think they will get it.

To me this car is a great set of parts for a build project, Take pic number one look at the hood fit, High crown in the center and down on the sides, Body guy should have blocked the sides up and pushed it down. Pic number two shows a horable fit on the hidden headlights, and the high quality of import bumpers. Pic number three shows a better shot of how bad the hood and headlights doors fit. Pic number four really shows the crown in the hood. Pic number five really look at that door to fender gap. Pic number six shows it even better, Also notice how it sags and the line goes away at the rocker. Pic number eight shows more bad fit. OK Pic nine and ten show more bad fit finish look at deck lid color does not match also spoiler fit. I dont even know what number I am at but look at the interior we have some nice parts then we have some bad real bad. Imagine what we cant see.. The problem I see with this car is a prime example of internet sales and trying to pull prices based off quality cars, This car looks slamed to me for money I see no quality work on this car just parts and slamed I'd like to ask Frank what he thinks. I dont want anyone upset but you can get a quality car and this is not it.

I like the toggle switches in the center dash, I think I saw some of the other custom interior pieces during my last shopping trip to pep boys - or maybe it was the automotive section at Target.

A column shifter? Seriously?

From my days at Budnik.... I've seen that car, and there's no way it should pull that kind of coin. It's a nice car don't get me wrong, I talked him into the finish on those wheels... but that price tag is about 25K too high.

I'll give the guy credit for suppying a lot of detailed pics. :thumbsup:

Could do without the "used car salesman" text. ie. cocky and technicaly challenged.

I'll give the guy credit for letting me preview a great wheel choice for Twist Machine's new project car.

man you guys can pick a part a car! ...j/k

There is defintely some sheetmetal fitment issues. All in all, I like the car. The engine is killer, with the carb set-up.

Speaking of the engine, who else is running a carb set-up on a LS engine? Pro's vs. Con's? I read an article awhile back about the carb on the LSX engines, but didn't give an overall opinion.
