that air box looks mad silly dude, does nothing for you.

Your car is worth however much someone wants to offer you for it.. If someone will offer you 5, than its worth 5. I say this because with modded cars, people tend to say it lowers the value.. With how low the value of our cars is, tasteful mods im my opinion bring them up.

oh i know it's just hard to put a price on 7's in the midwest in general because it seems like they are alot rarer than the southern states. the fc's i see in 2nd gen 4 sale section are for the most part much better for the general condition of the car, on the other hand this is the nicest one i have seen in the midwest in about 2 months of searching cl every day. i also dont know how much those wheels would be worth maybe they are a big factor to the sale.
any advice appreciated.

funny little airbox :P

tell him forget the wheels and drop the price to 3K... then go get youself some real Japanese rims and call it a day....... its a nice fc though pretty good condition for what it looks like in the pictures (if the pictures are not old)....

and that airbox is pretty funny looking... and he should have connected the inlet from the top of the shroud to get some cold air

Motegi wheels suck, unless they're the touge version or roja.

Tell him to keep those piles.

Used market with tires (in OUR market) is prolly worth $350. Fwd offset and looks like ***.....


Price seems fair to me. Granted i've seen some clean Tii's with some MINOR ISSUES go for $1000-2500.

Newly painted Red emblem

The car is in excellent shape and IF it runs good and there are no major issues, its def worth $2500-$3000... you can get a TII for $3000-$4000 in great shape so....

1500-2000 without those POS wheels. a proper airbox would be nice too, and 300 gauge spark plug wires? I don't believe that.

thats my old car folks...
it looked like when i owned it
Tein RA coilovers, newer trans, stock engine+interior and 5zigen wheels



He turned it into that a few weeks later ...

i can say that the entire chassi had ZERO rust when i had it, and i believe it was garage kept since he bought it from me.
