Default How much is it worth?

Going to upsize to a bigger car so I need to move the Fairmont on, just after some input to as what it's worth. It's a 98 Fairmont with 140 on the clock,6 cylinder auto, reasonably good nick just the usual odd dent and scratch you get in a 10 year old car but the interior is excellent. In the last year it has been converted to gas, lowered with supperlow springs, gained some BA XR6 rims and has 2 1/2 inch spots exhaust other than that it has the usual Fairmont goodies and has books.

Probably around 7-8k privately ?

Trade in = much less. :-(

Some good advice here.

You have some extras on the car which should help sell it to a younger person or enthusiast. Sadly though performance extras dont really add much value to the vehicle.

At best 8k. But stick to your guns. The right person will come along and snap it up.

Yeah thanks guys, was thinking of putting it up for 10 and see what happens. It looks pretty good and has reasonably low ks so hopefully it will catch some one eye. Cheers for feedback.

Not a bad idea. Gives u room to be knocked down a bit.

I wish your car was around a month or so ago. I would have snapped it up. lol
