    Chevelles are cheap pieces of shit, rust bucket junk that isnt worth shit. I wouldnt pay $1000 for a chevelle.

    Thats what guys like Silversol does........ find the cheapest worst example of a car and apply its value to any car that anyone ever owns of that make if he doesnt like it. My s13 could go on overhaulin, be customized by chip foose, leave chip foose's garage to go be gold dipped and hand signed by Carroll Shelby.....

    To him it would still be a $2000 piece of shit.

    Damn bro... You went back to 2005! Inflation needs to factored into the selling price to compare!!

    None of those cars you posted as "comparisons" are worth their asking price. Don't get me wrong, I think you're asking a fair price for your car if everything is as you say it is. I tried to sell mine once for $7500 before I became discouraged with the selling process and decided to keep the car. Only to sell it much later after the motor popped and got screwed over by a shop to "rebuild" it.

    Problem with pricing/selling 240's is two-fold.

    First you have the obligatory drift tax added, because every 16-yr that can convince mommy and daddy to buy them a rwd car is automatically a drifter. If you find that kid, you're lucky.

    Second the car has to be priced retard high because 99% of the 240 crowd are broke-ass kids that will low-ball the fuck out of you, so you need wiggle room so Johnny thinks he "stole" the car from you.

    You've probably seen it. I mean, how many offers have you gotten that are like "Hey bro, trade 4 a boosted d16 ef hatch wit teggy wheelz? All it needs is blah blah blah"?

    i agree with you, a lot of those cars were way over priced. I agree with all of you statements and know that a lot of 240s are complete pieces of shit. I shop for 240s too, i deal with these same kids, a lot of them get pissed off at me when i tell them to their face the car theyre selling is a piece of shit and walk away from it. My point is, my 240 is in the top 5-10% of 240s, i obviously take better care of my car than the avg kid's drift bucket. I did the same thing with chevelles that silversol does with 240s. I linked a bunch of cheap piece of shit chevelles and then applied a blanket statement to all chevelles.

    comparing a 4door chevelle is like comparing your 240 to a maxima

    Im a Nissan fanboi, but if I had 8K cash and was looking to buy a rwd car I'd buy a 4.6 modular mustang gt. Or I'd save up a little more and get an s2000. I think that says a lot about 240's.
