all your aftermarket/gmpp is not worth crap, make it stock before you trade it in, aftermarket parts make the car worth less and aftermarket makes the dealer beleive youve abused the car

if you get an offer for 17 or 18K jump all over it imediately. don't expect to get anything for your mods. you're better off going back to stock and then selling the parts here.

dealership-14 or 15

private party-17 at the MOST

truth hurts, ive researched this deeply because i considered it also, but it would not be very wise for me to do that when the car was 23k

oh and aftermarket parts dont add value, if anything they decrease it, unless you are talking (major) modifications, looks you got simple bolt ons, better off returning to stock if your gonna sell.

id say 13K at the very most and thats if you are really luck. You will get more if you remove the mods. Very few people want to buy a used modded car, why because chances are a modded car has been beat on. In order to sell your car, your going to need to find someone who wants to buy a cobalt ss supercharged and a modded one. for the most part you have already turned away prolly 99% of car buyers in the fact that its a sport compact and its modded. So you need to find someone dumb enough to buy a modded car in the first place. Usually if someone is going to spend the kind of money on a SS Supercharged, they are going to want to mod it themselves. So youve gotten rid of most of the tuner scene and any true auto enthusiats. Now your pretty much left with ricers, and most ricers dont have alot of money to spend on the car. Your best chance at selling that car modded is to sell it to some rich 16 year old who has no idea about car maintanence or value. Most likely going to be a first car experience, so expect your car to get totally trashed once you sell it.

Let who ever wants to buy it for less than 19K go buy themselves a brand new one. And for whoever said 14K...let me know when you go to sell a car would you...that way I can buy it from you and then turn around and resell it for a profit

Some Kid Out there would probably be more interested in a New One.

MODS = depreciation... so... less than if it was stock.

go back to stock and part out all your aftermarket. best bet if you want to sell it. and then you arent losing a horrible profit on the money u put into it.

my not-so-educated guess is around 15k
