hey guys bad news

hey guys some bad news. long story.............

i mite be selling my sa, but not to worry ill be putting a 13b or 20b in to some thing for sure if i do sell it.
i mite not be selling it but i mite i dont know for sure yet need to sit long and hard with it.
i was wondering if you could help me figure out a price. if i do sell it i want some one who will take care of it and not junk it ect.

i am not trying to sell it just need a idea for a price if i do have to sell.i really really dont want to have to sell. but some times when money gets tight you have to do what you have to do.
i paid
1500$ for car

no shipping included.
300$ for new clutch
125$ for front coil over
60$ for front springs.
260$ rear coil over.
250$ for shocks/ struts
100$ for new bushings
225$ front sway bar
700$ exhaust, block off plates gaskets.
400$ for gilmer drive
100$ braided break lines

2520$ just in after market parts.

500$ or more in random parts plug's, spark wires,msd blaster II coil's, 130mph cluster, glove box, new alt ect ect.

4520$ cost of car plus after market parts and random tune up ect parts.

only thing that the car needs is rockers, and 1.4 panel fixed, paint, and the panels around the shifter and radio need to be replaced. car drives like a dream handles great's just got a new mass inspection sticker and iam dding it.
i have a box of spare parts like lenses for some of the light's. master/break booster ect. mirrors.

Well, the thing to consider when selling a car isn't what you put into it, but rather what it is worth. And something is worth what another is willing to pay for it. Sadly, this is usually much less than what you paid. I think you could try for $2400 and call the difference a loss. Now, paint it(even Macco for $200-ish with self done prep work) and maybe you can get another $1000 or so just because a painted car gives a new feel mentality, just so long as the mechanics are sound.

I hear kidneys can fetch 3-7k$... depending on hoe "used" it is

Sucks to hear about your car man. Like what was said, you will only get about 1/3 of what you put in it, if that. Sell that kidney!

yeah..sell something else, or just sell off some of the aftermarket stuff and use stock parts for now. Unfortunately, aftermarket parts add almost nothing to the value, so you might get $1500-$2000 if you sold it as is. If you have to sell the car, then pull the aftermarket stuff and put on stock stuff. Sell the car for say $1500 or whatever and then sell off the aftermarket stuff. You still won't get everything back that you have invested, but you will get a lot more than selling the car with the aftermarket stuff still on it.
