Default The time has come... :(

So I've got absolutely no time and money to put into this car anymore and have to sell it . I wrote up a little summary for personal reference, not an ad. But based on that what do you guys think I should ask for or think I could get for it? Thanks in advance guys, this really is a sad day for me. Here's my write-up:


1994 Chevy Camaro Z28


Basics -
-Color: Blue/Green Metallic
-Mileage: 65XXX
-Engine: 5.7L V8 LT1
-Wheels: Kumho Ecsta AS/Ts with stock Z28 rims
-Body: Stock 2 door coupe
-Audio: Stock Delco Bose sound system w/CD player


Performance Modifications -
-Moroso Cold Air Intake
-Hypertech III tuned w/ 180 degree thermostat (also have tuner)
-Underdrive Pulleys
-Borla Cat-Back dual exhaust


Style Modifications -
-Dual Autometer Ultra-Lite A-Pillar digital readout gauges (Oil Temp & Trans Temp)
-Red map lights
-AutoVentShade (AVS) Blackout taillight covers


Repairs/Replacements -
-New AC/Delco Optispark Distributor (about 2,000 miles on it)
-New waterpump (about 2,000 miles on it, replaced at same time as distributor)
-New front brake rotors and ceramic pads (less than 1,000 miles on them)

What needs to be repaired/replaced -
-4L60E Automatic transmission needs to be rebuilt (does not shift into 3rd gear)
-Front end (upper & lower control arms, inner tie rod ends, ball joints, alignment)
-Body damage (front bumper has some cracks, left drivers side between door and front quarter panel crack, nothing big

With tranny problems (have you had it diagnosed by a shop to confirm it does need a new trans, btw?), it's maybe worth $1k. Oh, I see you're near me, I'll be right over with the cash!
Actually, it's worth more than that, I kid. But why did the trans go bad at 65k miles?

between the front end and the trany, you are looking at around $2500 if you paid someone to do it.

So, you don't get your money back for repairs as I'm sure you know. The repair list is nice tio show but that's all.

So what is a 94 Z worth in your area? If you say $4k, then subtract the $2500 needed for the repairs and you have your figure.

Yup I took it to the shop my folks have been going to for years and they said they cant find out exactly what's wrong with it without pulling out the trans but they ran an electrical diag and they said it came back clean so it has to be something mechanical inside of it just snapped. Trans fluid was clean as a whistle so literally something just broke out of the blue with no prior symptoms .

I recently found out the guy I bought it from had it rebuilt before but wouldn't tell me who did it and when :/ but all it needs as far as I and my mechanic know is a rebuild kit and somebody with a willingness to try .

And hell 69 if it turns out I can't sell it you can have it for $2550.72

Sheesh...65k miles and it already had the trans replaced and now needs it again?
Man, what else was abused on that poor car? I think I'll change my bid to $500.

I think he was full of **** to be honest, he knew nothing about cars when I went to look at it before buying and the shop didn't see anything that would lead me to believe the tranny had already been messed with. He probably said that thinking it would bring more appeal to potential buyers . Everything else runs in tip top shape, except for the front end like I said earlier lol.
