What do you think about this car?

Was it worth trading my truck for? My truck was worth about 20k

Not really sure, how many miles are on it? 12-14k is a more realistic price for it IMHO. Does it have a built shortblock? I didn't see it mentioned there....

Blood

Im not sure he didnt say, he didnt get it built some old guy did for his wife. And it was too much for her. But he said its pretty much all performance. He said its got around 20k under the hood, and the car is worth 16k off of blue book. My trucks worth 20k or 19k but it needs a lot of front end work.

PurpleIcedGT

20k under the hood? Not a chance....did you already trade with him?

Blood

No, he prob means 20k in parts and labor. I have never seen a super charger like that though. It must be a newer one. The thing is a lot like I wanted

PurpleIcedGT

From the posting it just sounds like he drove the hell out of it.

Blood

Ya he wasnt too easy on the pedal when showing me. What do you think its worth with all that under the hood? The car is KBB 16k stock.

PurpleIcedGT

I wouldnt make the trade. The car probably isn't even worth 15k as it sits right now.

Blood

He has only had it since 43k so hes only put 5k miles on it. Cant really hurt that engine much I dont believe. He said hes never taken it to the track either.

20k for parts and labor still sounds way high to me for what he has listed. Also is that 500 rwhp on the stock bottom end end. If so that's something you should think about.
