I'm curious to know your reasons why, other than the fact that it needs work done. Not trying to get personal, just curious. But some things to consider:
- current market/inflation
- do you need the money for something else
- why not keep it and continue working on it
- if it gets fixed, you could use it as your daily/grocery getter
- I wouldn't sell it
- please don't sell it
- keep it forever

The money will go towards my 2013 CTS-V to bring it to around 700whp.
Tired of working on it. Have a 2012 Tacoma that I built for wheeling.
Have a clean 2000 Honda Accord for daily grocery getter but it's my daughter's new car.
I really want to fix it and keep it but no time to touch it.

That's a good deal. The issues you listed are straight forward fixes and that's before you consider the mods. Normally non-working vehicles are sold with no idea of what is wrong, so people will ask for a lower price since they could get screwed on fixes.
Since yours seems to have straight forward fixes, and a good frame it's an easy purchase at that price. A 4wd 4runner in the coastal states with no rust would sell for about that and that's not even considering the mods. They sell replacement leather upholster for 4runners, so someone with the smallest amount of DIY could make it a nice vehicle for say 2400 at most. To make an equivalent vehicle would cost much more than what your asking plus the fixes
Your crazy but you do you. Hopefully they treat it well.

I'd try my best to make it run, I mean it's either no spark or no fuel.
I'd buy it for 3k right now but I don't have time to drive to colorado, and yes, you're crazy for not trying to get it running and then sell it for at least $7500. or more. If you don't have time to fix it right this second, let it sit until spring. You'll regret selling it for less than you and I know it's worth.
Fix it then sell it.

I'd say if it is just going to sit indefinitely might as well move it on. Not like you can't find another 3rd gen if you want to get back into the chassis at some point.

Sell it and go, you've obviously lost interest in it, so unless you want to spend the time trying to get a few more $$$ sell it and go.

At least pull the bumper with winch and lights. Knock 300 off the price if you have to and save or sell the bumper and winch combo for 1700. The wait time on AOR bumpers has been very long historically and I'm sure someone would pony up.....just a thought.

I think your crazy. Fix it before you sell it. You'd probably collect double at least.
Market is softening...... finally.
I mean, if you just don't care, and it doesn't matter anyways. But if it's a question of time versus money, man, I would at least kick it over to a shop and let them get it running before you sell it.

This is my thoughts as well. It's obvious that time is a big factor and you've moved on to other projects. But at least throw it at a shop and let them fix it, it would be a fraction for what you'd get extra for a running vehicle.
PS shoulda sold it 1.5 years ago when the used car market was insane!

Even if you have to pay someone to fix it you will most likely make the repair cost and much more back by selling it as running and driving. In my area if that was running/driving it would be $8000-$9000 easy.

Well I feel the universe is giving me a sign. Can't find the main keys. Just the spare ignition key and fob. Battery is dead and can't unlock it. I left hood unlatched so I could jump it in the future but for some reason it's closed. Went to find title and it's no where to be found. Go to DMV this morning to get the title and realize it's under my wife's name and they would not give me a duplicate. Haha.
