I am starting a business and need money, so regretably I must sell the SE.
  From what I have been told by some members on the site I will start the price at $32,500 but am open to offers. I have no idea how to put pictures on here, so to interested people I will send pictures if you PM me your e-mail address.
               
             Thanks

I guess that's to high. Just going by other members sugestions. I will lower it to 29,950. I am still open to offers.

If your not in a big hurry to sell, I would keep the asking price in the 30's.
Toss it on ebay maybe, just to generate some interest. I am a little biased but these are fairly sought after T/As.

If you can wait until the weather breaks for spring, you will find more buyers.  Something about warm dry weather makes people want to get back to cars again... :lol:

I agree with Paul - being a fan of these I would also keep it in the 30's & go the ebay route.

Good luck!

I am in the process of getting my pictures together and writing an ad for e-bay. I feel the same as far as the price as you do.
   My other problem is I keep finding more f-bodys that are interesting and reasonably priced. I found a 79 formula w72 and a 80 turbo formula. Both need work, but are pretty rare.

                          Thanks for the input.

That is a very nice car. The base interior will hurt it a bit pricewise, but it should do well. I'd say 30 would not be a problem.
Brett sold one on ebay a few months ago, it was the only 1107 car that I saw finish the auction. All others sell off ebay early.
Nice car, I wouldn't sell it!

Why would anyone pay over $25K for a used car that only cost $7K new? :lol:

It's unbelievable!  In the early 80's you could pick one up for around $3K  I see so few of these cars on the road nowadays.  Even the salvage yard can't find any new meat.  I think we're in for a fun ride in the next ten years.

hahaha

I was trying to up my insurance today...they looked up the book on my car in LOW condition $14,500!!!!! Not sure what book they looked in..but that is up quite a bit from just a year and a half ago!

Time for our T/A's to take over the market place!!! BRING IT ON!!!

Good luck with your ebay sale!!! Really nice car.. my bet is 32,650!
