Thread: looking for price ideas for father-in-laws car

Prices seem to depend on where you live alot and if someone is willing to pay extra for a rust free and very clean car.

I decent lower mileage car in my parts is around 3-5k and 7-9k for a newer body style but mainly the GXP package cars.

I'd still figure around the $4,000-4,500 mark for a pretty nice car. Start you price higher and see if anyone is willing to come close to what you are willing to take. Someone might bite and pay a little extra.

As long as the rockers and rear strut towers are not rusted out, then I think you could start at $4900 and take best offer. May sit on it for a bit but someone that appreciates these cars will see how nice it is and what maintenance you have done and may go for it. These cars are getting harder to find in rust free well maintained condition. The gold color could be a strike as it will have to somewhat appeal to the buyer. it would not be my first color choice but someone else may not mind one bit. Good luck with the sale, sounds like a very nice ride.

I'd say a solid $3000.

I go CL all the time and see GP's listed for the $5000 price tag and they just sit there for months. No one is gonna is gonna pay $2000 more when they can find others for cheaper. And then I go back and see them at a reduced price.

If you pull out of the driveway and are ran over by a semi destroying it completely, three grand is about what insurance will pay. The value on my two barely adds up to that much. But there's a sucker born every minute. At 4K+, you are not likely to even get a call on it. It's almost like there's a special value penalty for having a 97-03 GTP. The only way to get the value out of that car is to drive it for the next 5-10 years and do absolutely nothing to it. If it just won't sell, you'll have to remove engine and trans and scrap the body just to have parts that will. Other parts are pointless to keep and try to sell because the teardown work isn't worth the garage sale prices you'll have to sell at. Advertise for 32-3500 and hope you get lucky.

Im in your same area I bought mine for 800 bucks but it was a 132k basket case.. but already had mods. So no where near the quality of your car. i would say here in portland your car is valued at 3500 to 4500. there is not a lot gtp's around here also on top of that most are beaters like mine. So even though its gold you may fetch a better price.. average price around here is 1200 to 3500 keep in mind a good number of CL cars here are 150 to 250k miles. good luck with your sale

you should buy it and race me

Rule of craigslist, if you have the time, start high and try and find a sucker, might take you a month or two to sell, but, hey, if you get an extra $500-$800 why not. But, that's just me. Around here 6th gen GTPs are mostly rusted out and/or beat to crap.

Did you let someone test drive it by themselves? Or was it 219. Either way I feel bad for your father in law.
