lsx 3rd gen value

Just curious: For those of you that sold your 3rd gen with a LSx engine in it, how much were you able to get? It seems that these cars can't even be given away. I was wondering if having a new engine in it would entice a buyer or if nobody would pay any reasonable amount for these cars no matter what.

Theres a buyer willing to pay the price for anything. When you know what a LSx can do, and have actually experienced it, you just know that this is the best setup you can get in a 3rd gen body.

If the person didn't want the car for free to begin with then I doubt and engine swap will change their minds.

The cost of the parts alone was more than the BB on my car. If you had to include labor you would never get your money back.
