Default Thinkin about selling the monte.

I have been throwing around the idea of selling my monte. Now my car has ALOT of stereo work in it and still isnt quite done. But once its done i may sell it and go to a 350Z or a G35 or maybe a suburu WRX. Just kinda want a new toy. My monte only has 80K miles and i have had it 2 years this weekend. I work for comcast now and never drive it anymore due to i have my company van and also a harley. So it is worth selling since its paid off and so much work in the stereo. My stereo alone is around 5000$ and its not even done yet. It sits on 20s and the paint on the car isnt perfect. Iknow i wont get near what i have in it back. But what is your oppinion? Should i stop the stereo build and sell the car how it was or keep it all in there and sell it as a custom car? If i keep it, its getting air ride and new paint. Just curious and want some oppinions! Thanks!

Agree with 2nd post.
Keep it, financially its the wiser decision.

If you do decide to sell you'll probably be better off taking out the sound system you probably won't find anybody willing to put what you did for it.

I would keep it because your never gonna get enough out of it. If you do decide to sell I would remove all the stereo stuff and sell it separate.

Thanks guys! Iknow i could never sell it as a whole and get near what i paid for it all. It would just be easier since everything is custom built for this car. But in a year or so it will be garage kept and repainted white with blue pearls in it. My goal has always been to turn this thing into a 100% show car. I guess its to complete that!

I agree with everyone else almost no one will appreciate the money you have into it and never pay enuff for it. Theres a cavalier that was on cedar rapids or maybe it was waterloo craigslist it was a 1990 5 speed and had all custom work, sound system paint job almost everything guy wanted 10k for it n someone posted an ad as a reply saying to him are you crazy its a 1990 cavalier no matter what you do to it no one will pay 10k. After it being on a year its down to like 8k or maybe 6k and no one will even look at it.
