I do not have current pictures handy but will work on that ASAP. Really I am looking for some additional advice on how to sell / what to ask for..
I understand without pictures not many people will even glance at this twice, I am working on it. So I have a suspended license and the car will not currently pass inspection which has it pretty much parked at this point. There is some body damage on the passenger side. As far as mechanical issues the transmission needs rebuilt or replaced (slips in second) as well as the front seal has a pretty serious leak. Also has fairly high miles (~220k). I did put 17 inch rims w/ low profile tires on it, as well as an Injen CAI, J-Spec tails (clear corners), Hunsaker buckets, custom metallic tint and a fairly badass audio in it (eclipse deck, 2 10" subs, 800 watt amp). I called one of the local "we buy your busted car" places and they offered me $300 which I just can not fathom.. It seems parting it out would be a more rational way to go but I simply do not have the space or time to go into that, not to mention the mechanical aptitude. If I were to sell it locally naturally I could at least pull the tails and sell them to someone who cared as very few people but us 6gc'ers would even notice.. Really, I am just looking for some advice, or a reasonable offer to buy the whole thing. The saddest thing is the emotional attachment. I really love my 6gc but with my current legal and financial situation fixing it is just not in the cards. |

pics would do some help.
transmission bad? and high miles, depends on the body. give or take 800 to 1000. like i said. unfortunately transmission work is not cheap, and most guys that are looking to buy a car like that, at least here is to swap. but if the damage is not so bad, you may get more, pictures will give you some room. Easiest thing to do, is get the stereo out, and sell it. stereo or not stereo, i would not pay extra for a car, since ultimately i am bound to buy my own system. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

Sell the rims, tails, audio, seats, and air intake separately. Take the cats out and scrap them. Those first two sentences will bring more than the $300 you were offered. Can part out from there or sell whole as a parts car.

Im looking to buy another one right now. I really dont want an auto but I do have a spare tranny and all the stuff necessary for the swap. Is it a GT or an ST, Hatch, Coupe or Vert? Pics and asking price would help out.
