about $6-7k mainly because it is fresh paint and looks nice, being a swap detracts some from value.
that is what i would expect it to bring, that is what i have seen comparable cars bring. you may get a little more with a bit of patience.
you'd actually make more rounding up all stock TII parts and converting it to a stock TII swap and selling the car for $4-5k and sell the upgrade parts off seperately. modifications are almost always a huge loss when selling with a complete car.

You are probably going to take a bath.. The car looks good, the market is a little up right now on these and with the modifications you have I would say to sell it quick $4500-$5500 if you want to sit on it a while $6000-$6500. If you ebay it you will have to list it a few times due to flakers but it may pull a little more.
I see a lot more money in parts unfortunately.

thanks for the help guys, i guess if i decide to put it up, ill put it up for 7500 to leave room for haggling. but as it stands im not positive im gonna sell it. may just keep it and do a 35r or something
you could probably get a decently nice rolling shell FD with a blown motor in trade, that's about as close to an FD as you will get with it. but most FD owners are ****** when it comes to "trading down".

well i wasnt gonna try to trade for it. i had planned on selling the car itself and taking my deployment money to cover the difference, but i may just 35r this one and buy a daily brodozer

i thought i was pretty rough with brutal truth, some of you guys are downright underselling the car. but i suppose you also didn't look at the album pictures which help show that it is decently clean.

And behind the bumper is just as fine. only modification was the 2 holes for IC piping, and the grill was just evenly shaved down to fit the fmic.
what it is worth and what you want are $6K you will be lucky to get 4-4.5K. Sold many cars. You could have gotten your six grand 5 years ago, but now think about your car being 25 years old.

a fellow member on here, rotarybeat sold his car for 6500 with a blown motor. only thing he had better than mine was equips, IMO. mine is pretty much as clean, and has more work to it. i doubt ill sell it now anyways. ill just put more money into it and enjoy it while im young
