Again, thanks for the replies.
Yeah no need to flame when you are legit..but if you have lurked long enough you can understand why we as a community have to kind of watch out for the guys that come on...sell their crap and leave. So its hard to judge each case by case so..yeah I understand. That is why I suggested a price check subforum or something.

100 posts is a poor way to encourage board volume and thus increasing the "market value" of the site. I guess it has worked though... no longer privately owned.

You could easily post 100 s in a couple of hours.

I will have decided to sell the car or not within the next week. Most likely I will be taking off the wing and selling it seperately. If I do decide to let it go, I will be sure to private msg you.

KKB has the best prices for the buyer (low); where as NADA has the best prices for the seller (high). What I do is take these two and Edmunds prices and divide the highest and lowest by three and that shows a fair price for the top and bottom asking price. Not the best, but it 'kind-of' works.
Good luck,
C'ya,

Thanks for the tips guys. I think i've figured out a good asking price now. A bit lower than what I expected but thats fine.

I don't think it would be depreciated this much if it wasn't for the slow economy and crazy high gas prices. But i'm no expert and could be wrong.
