We're going to be thinning our collection a bit, so our '12 Caprice will be one of those items. We've ordered a new vehicle that can do double duty as our tow rig, toad for our motorhome and pup-mobile, so are moving our '02 GMC 2500HD D/A and the Caprice to new homes.

It's been a great car, and a TON of fun to drive. It's one of those you turn back to look at when getting out of it and smile. It's got about 97,300 miles on it, I think we've put ~10K on it since getting it in 2015. It runs great, and everything works. If you want to see what we've done with it, there's a build thread here:

https://www.newcaprice.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2541

It'll come with a lot of spares and parts we haven't installed yet:
G8 carpet
G8 console
G8 power seat rack
Holden rear spoiler, painted
BMR front sway bar
G8 3.27 LSD differential
OEM steering wheel (it's been replaced with a G8 leather wheel we got from Crazy Paul)
Installed the Holden fog lights per the thread on 'Adding fog lights to the Caprice' thread in the Electrical section. They've been wired to, and out of the fuse box in the engine compartment, but I haven't run the wiring into the cabin or installed the G8 light switch yet. Have the switch in a box, though.
OEM front cat (take-offs when we did the X-Force exhaust install)
OEM springs and struts (Installed BC Coil-overs)
OEM sway bars (Installed BMR rear bar, but have front to install, just never did and never missed it autocrossing the car)
OEM exhaust (I never get rid of anything!)
OEM front brakes (Installed GM PP Brembos)
Spare accessory idlers NIB (got when I replaced the belts, but the OEM idlers are in great shape)
Chevy SS wheels (never did install them)
NIB 9C1 wheels (planning to widen them for moar tire, just never did)
Spare 9C1 shifter
I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff.

The headliner did sag, and I've removed the fabric from the board. I honestly don't even notice the difference other than being able to see out the rear view mirror. I still have the old fabric so it can be matched, but I have zero plans to replace the headliner at this time.

I'd like to get $10,500 for the car. I KNOW I'm going to regret selling it, but we need to lighten our load some. Thanks. Questions? Just ask!

You're probably right. A friend's wife had one (auto), and I got to drive it a bit. That's what kind of piqued my interest in this chassis. That, and we like the retired service vehicles for our DDs.
