The highlights of the original ad are quoted here:

Bought the car from the cars first owner who was in his 70's. He died from a stroke. My intent was to make it a track car taking students for training rides on a sport car course. Never happened. Spent too much time on my race car. I bought hardware to do this and I'll include it with the car. If parts are not wanted we can talk less $$ for car.

Adjustable coil overs for front.
Shorter rear springs
Adjustable panard bar [ need when rear is lowered ]
4 New shocks [ already installed ]

I bought the car 6 years ago with 28K miles on the car, it now has 32K miles. Since I have owned it it has been run with Mobil 1 oil. In fact I just changed the oil and filter a week ago.

Kellys Blue Book lists the car for $12.6K

Starting in 2001 all LS1 engines came with LS6 [ again corvette ] intake manifolds without an EGR system.
Advertised HP raised from 310 to 325's with the SS options which is what the car is. Actually probably higher because GM has been know to lie on HP of performance cars.
All 6 speed cars had the corvette ZO 6 clutches.
At 70 MPH on highway with cruise the car gets 26 MPG. Difficult to believe but engine is only turning around 1750 RPM's.
I took the chrome SS wheels off to keep them nice and have corvette wheels on ; both come with the car.

I want $12K for the car and parts. Less if you don't want the parts. I've discounted the price already so don't offer less. I don't ask more than I want so you feel like you got a better deal by talking me down. Ask Pat if you don't believe me.

Price the similar cars on line and you find them priced much more than $12K. I blew two engines in my race car and need $$$$$ for winter rebuild/upgrade for the 2013 season.

I have put approximately 2k miles on this car. Since I purchased it I've done a tune up (plugs, wires and fuel filter) since it didn't run well at all when I picked it up (it runs fantastic now) and I've added an SLP "lid", SLP "SS" floor mats, SLP front license plate bracket, Hellwig 22mm hollow adjustable rear sway bar (to go with the front 35mm bar on the car) and a Spohn strut tower brace. The car also has a Hooker cat back exhaust on it that's in excellent condition (and sounds great without being too loud). (I've likely put over $700 in it since buying it).

It still includes the front upper control arms, rear springs, coil over parts and chrome SS wheels ("ZR1's" with SS center caps, it's currently wearing '91 Corvette "sawblades"). I'll throw in the 5 point Sparco cam lock harness (expired) if you want it. I have a box of monsoon speakers to fix the blown front speakers (I never got around to it, but I have the parts). I have stock a car cover and the Decarbon rear shocks and you can have those too. I have a stock PHB for the car, it's included and I'm sure there's more.

For an extra cost I have a set of new trackbrackets and virtually all the parts for the conversion (add PAB's and brake hoses and you're there). I also have an assortment of front and rear sway bars for a 4th gen, if you need/want other bars we can talk about that too.

$12k

I thought it was sold ... But I passed the info along AGAIN !!!

For the life of me I can't understand why this hasn't sold at that price! I love the car and don't need another but its so tempting!

I really can't either. It still has 35,5xx miles on it. Since it was supposed to be sold I haven't been driving it. I have a current dyno sheet and I cleaned it all out recently. I may go get it aligned today and I'm starting to make plans for what I want to do to it (in case it's still here when I get the Corvette project wrapped up...which should be very soon).

$10,650 somebody come get it.

[trackbird]

$10,200 firm (that's basically payoff).

Somebody grab it before I trade it in.

It's a good thing I bought a house and don't need anymore debt, otherwise I'd probably be looking at a divorce. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)

I had 3 buyers when I started with the last moron. The second guy had everything ready but he was actually second. I just hung up the phone with him, it looks like he "won" and is getting a $750 discount and it's heading to Texas.

I decided I was going to sell it. I'm going to sell it. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Sale pending.

[mitchntx]

Good ... it's gone.

Here I was about to offer to trade a brick of 22LR for it.

A whole brick? Based on current market rates, I'd owe you change...

And if you're interested...it's likely headed to Texas. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[trackbird]

Sold! It's all official and everything this time. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The transporter is taking it to Texas tomorrow afternoon.

[CrashTestDummy]

Congrats!! Wow, what a journey! I'd try to sell our LT4 Z28, but I'd have to sell it AND a brick of .22LR for the price of a brick of .22LR.

Tough crowd out there these days.

[trackbird]

I know. Right now I can't give things away. I posted an MSD distributor that was $295+tax new, has an hour of run time on it (if that) and I can't seem to sell it for $195. Not even a nibble. If it lays around long enough I'll just buy a 3rd gen to put it in (I know me).

I've begun raking stuff off the shelves and into garbage cans.

I've begun raking stuff off the shelves and into garbage cans.

It's sad. It's also a possible sign that the economy is slowing back down. Guys used to fight over parts, now nobody even sends a PM.

I packed up all the leftover SS parts (shift knob, sway bars, some poly stuff and frame bushings I had, PHB, stock airbox and anything else that would bolt to that car) and stuffed them in the back of the car for the new owner. I can't sell it all and now it's out of my garage. I'll call it a win.

Depends on what you're selling. I put (4) used 6 year old tires from my dually on Craigslist two days ago for $100. I had 6 e-mails and 5 phones calls in the 4hrs it took someone to show up. After that, I put up an ad for some bald Saturn tires for free (so I don't have to pay the $2.50/tire to dispose. Hah). I've got 3 people who want to come pick them up today. I think people are pretty much sticking to necessities and controlling the impulse buys a little better.

I've been looking for an SUV for the wife but used vehicle prices shot up after everyone got their tax returns. It's getting back to the point where stuff is sitting around and the prices are coming down.

I'm not looking forward to selling some of my spares that I don't need anymore, but ebay has free listings until Saturday, so at least it won't cost me anything to find out no one wants my stuff. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)

New car prices are just as insane. I drove a 2014 extra cab/short bed (I don't believe in short bed trucks, but I need to park it and don't need "that much truck" these days) the other day. It was a Z71, 4x4 LT package (trip computer, cloth seats, towing package with built in brake controller....nice truck) and it stickered at $43k. After rebates and discounts I was looking at $35,350. I can't really bring myself to spend $35k on a truck. And I drove it, and it was nice...but I didn't fall in love with it (and I'm not sure the seats would be comfortable for long trips). So, I'm looking for a truck. New truck prices are "stupid" and used truck prices are just as insane (if not completely unreasonable) these days.

I may be driving my Jeep for a long time...

Pretty much. Cruising Craigslist has pretty much become a part time job trying to find someone who isn't out of their mind. I don't see how people think their shit box with a bunch of dents qualifies for KBB Excellent RETAIL pricing...

Well, KBB isn't standing here with a stack of hundreds to buy your truck and I am...

They only rated it as "excellent" because KBB doesn't have a "my shit is spectacular" price on the website...

The one buyer I had come look at my truck (when I was selling in 2012) said "book is 11 and I'm thinking "$10k". I booked it (honestly with the options) and it was $12,800 to low $13's. He didn't add any options, just "2007 C 3500" and said "Oh, $11k". He was going to give me $10k. Carmax gave me $9k and I didn't have to screw around for the day getting the title work done and all that. He called back two days later and I told him it was gone. Oops.

If I found that same truck today (2 years and the mileage later) someone would be asking $15k for it....I'm almost sure of it.

My Tacoma would be over $32k to replace, so $35k isn't that bad. But driving the Jeep for a while is probably a wise move.

But we are counting the days until we can get rid of this jeep. This is one of the few vehicles I've ever owned that I really dislike. I'm sure it's leaving....just when and for what?
