Miles are good for the price but hard to tell how beat the car is. I’d say it’s a fair price if that’s what you’re in the market for, if that makes sense.
Your best bet would be to pull off the blower and sell it as a close to stock car. Might be worth $16k stock ish. Get maybe $3k for the blower set up. What would you take for your car? Figure maybe $18k~ After wrench time and mis parts.
edit: after seeing your car is listed at $17 obo this probably is a ok trade. I’d buy the hood lol
I get groceries in mine all the time, shouldn’t be an issue. The snow might be, I’d get a set of 16" wheels off a V6 Camaro and run a skinny little snow tire on it. You can also raise the suspension on the stock bolts and call it a day. Then when summer comes along slam it on the summer wheels.
I think you’re going from one undesirable car to another. The Merc because of it’s miles and the Vette because of it’s mods. Sure there are guys out there looking for a modded Vette but they’re a really small percentage of Vette buyers. Then at least half of those ones that want a modded Vette want to start with a nice clean stock one so they know they’re not getting someone else’s hack job.
probably a difficult car to sell as is so make sure you want this car. You could probably take this C5 and put it back to stock and sell the car easier and then sell the parts and come out ahead. but that’s work.
I’d say 15 is a good final price for this and your car… so even trade is good.
