2016 FRS with a knocking motor. What's it worth?
Long story short my engine started knocking yesterday at around 110k.
Just exploring all my options and selling it as is would be one of the easier options. Body has 2 dents and I'm sure tons of scratches. I didn't care about keeping it pretty to be honest. Transmission has a slight grind getting into 5th. Though it can be avoided. Interior is 7/10 Besides that it's pretty solid. What would you think I could sell the car far in today's market? |

Why not find what is wrong with the engine first?
That more than anything will determine the car's value.

I have seen two in my area recently with rod knocks and minor mods, okay condition for 6k. One is now gone, other is a 14' Auto with 93k.
It's all about finding the right buyer. Really, you could spend the money for another short block and fix it and come out ahead. It's all a matter of do you have the time to install and the cash for another motor, or do you want the convenience of it out of your hair.
