Getting ready to sell my 87 GN and need some opinions. Is it easier/faster to sell a car that is closer to stock than one with a bunch of bolt-ons? I'm not looking to try and get more $ back, just would like to move the car as quickly as possible and thought a car that is closer to stock would be easier to sell. I have nice shop with a lift so swapping stock parts back in (trans/torque conv, turbo, etc..) is not that hard.
What is the used GN market like these days? I will definetely start listing on this web site first, can't imagine trying to list it on craig's list :eek: and dealing with all the BS.
 
Gn market-bad. Dont sell on Craigslist. I tried that with mine. You ll get 80,000 lowballing crackheads that want to offer you 10k less than what your asking so they have leftover money to put TVs and 24" rims on it. I ve seen them go on eBay for more than what theyre worth so check there too.
 
I don't think you'll have any trouble selling it quickly with those bolt ons.

You might make back labor money and a bit more by going to stock and then selling the parts.

Again with a lot more hassle on the parts sales.

Just my .02. your car seems to have a nice bunch of parts and should sell easily. :)
 
Years back, I was trying to sell my bolt on GN. Most of the intrested buyers were looking for stock GN's.
The concerns were that the car was abused from "racing" and a stock GN has more collector value down the road.
Decided to keep the car rather than take a big loss..glad I did.
 
Keep your car as is. If it was caged up, 400 trans, no heat or A/C it would be different. Your paint, body, and interior condition will really be the deciding factor on the price.
