I have to admit something. For the past few months I've had thoughts of selling the Z for money to fix up the Jeep and GN (and pay off some of my debt). One of my buddies said he would give me $4500 for it, which I don't think is very bad at all. But, as much as I love the GN, it just isn't the Z. I'm torn. I know, its just a car. But, man, I love drivin' her. I did buy for the sole purpose of being my daily driver and a second set of wheels, but I don't know if I should hold on to her or not now that I have the GN. I'm torn guys. What would you do? Any new perspectives?

You guys do make a good point. If I was to be debt-free, I would pretty much have to use the entire $4500. That would, however, free up a total of ~$150/month that I could use for the Jeep and GN. Plus, I mention the Jeep because I finally found a kit to let me install a 700-R4 . So, you think $4500 is reasonable? Do you think I could get some more for her? Thanks for your helps so far guys, keep it comin' please.Steve

I think $4500 is a reasonable offer. Of course things like mileage, condition, etc... come in to play with the price....but $4500 seems very reasonable.
To be honest, and I bet I'm probably alone on this one, I personally don't care about being in debt. I mean, I do, but my car is more than a good reason for me to be in debt. I don't care how much I have to work, I don't care when saturday comes around and I have little to no cash, I don't care that I can't spend more $$$ on other things. What I do care about though, is tearing it open on a nice summer day. As a matter of fact, I love it so much, that I am seriously considering buying a 2002 WS6 the day I pay off my car. That won't be for another year or so, but it's already being seriously considered.
Everyone's situation is different though. My suggestion is to set your priorities straight, and take it from there. If being out of debt more so and fixin' up the GN and your jeep outweighs drivin' the Z....then go for it. If you absolutely cannot part with your car...then don't.
You have 3 cars where I only have one right now, thus the reason why my opinion could be different. If I had a bad@ss GN as well, I might have said a different answer. Keep in mind also, just because you might have to give up your LT1 Z right now, doesn't mean you can't own an LS1 Z laterblack 95 t/a, a4, beefed up tranny w/ higher stall converter, transgo shift kit, trans temp gauge, trans cooler, richmond 3.73's, loudmouth, hypertech programmer, 160 thermo, descreened maf, TB bypass and airfoil, trick flow intake elbow, underdrive pulleys, moroso cai, edelbrock panhard rod, bmr stb, slp sfc's, fiberglass firehawk hood, hawk pads, taylor wires, ngk plugs, royal purple fluids,...and hopefully more to come

Sorry Steve!
But I've never seen a GN or Jeep worth getting ride of my Z28!
It's nice to be debt free but I would rather see the jeep or the GN that sell the Z28.
They don't make Z28's any more Do like I've done. I work part time at AutoZone. This has fully paid for my Camaro!
I also work fulltime for a local community college here where I live!
I'm sorry but I just don't think you will be happy! I hope you don't learn the hard way. Camaro's look much better than jeeps or GN's
Get another job and work parttime besides $150.00 a month isn't worth selling your Z28 for!
Later Lee!Lee Stroud in West Virginia

Keep the opinions comin' guys, its really helping. Thanks to everyone who's posted so far. Even if I do sell it, I can always find another like Joe said (maybe even a good 93 TA with the mondo wing ) or bite the bullet and get an LS1 . Thanks everyone.Steve

Thanks everyone for your help on this . Joe, you do make a good point, I could easily find another if I do need to sell it and will keep that in mind should the occasion arise. Take care everyone...and thanks againSteve
