Hey all, I was just wondering.... how much do you think my car is worth? What would be a good selling price for it?

I have an 89 GTU and I am thinking about selling it because I have this itch for a turbo II........ click here
thats the website with lots of pictures of the car. The whole exhaust system has been replaced with a bonez superflo cat system and a custom cat-back system. The engine runs strong, but is a mix of 88 and 89 parts (dont ask me which parts are which im not really sure), but the only thing that doesn't work correctly is the 6pi. The engine in it before was blown up by the first owner, the second owner (a family friend) had mazda put in a new engine (88 and 89 parts... I think he wanted 88 parts because they are cheaper to replace or something...). The car has only 68k miles on the BODY, and less on the engine because it was replaced, but I'm not sure how many, most likely less than 30k. The interior is in extremely good shape, except for the steering column cover (it is missing) and the drivers seat has some tears in it (which are covered up by a matching seat cover that looks exactly like the seat (I didnt notice it was a cover untill I had already had the car for a week). It has a Sony Xplod single CD player with a removable faceplate. The door speakers are 6.5' infinity kappas. In the storage bin behind the driver's seat rests a Jensen 200w amplifier which can handle 4 different channels. The amp powers the two 8" woofers in the stock rear speaker spots. Mind you, these are NOT SUBWOOFERS, they are only woofers, but do provide enough bass to fill the car up very well and make things rattle around. As for the exterior of the car..... The glass is all in VERY good shape with almost no pitting and no cracks. The paint is in very good shape for being 13 years old. There is a small dent in the front left fender over the wheel, but could easily be fixed, and I can get it professionally fixed before I sell it, if the buyer so desires. The left mount in the rear spoiler is cracked and some paint is chipped off the spoiler from a small branch falling off of a tree during a thunderstorm, but it doesn't vibrate and is nowhere near coming off, some touch up paint and bondo would fix it up in minutes, I may have that fixed too before i sell the car. There is a small knick in the front front fender from clipping a curb, which I will probably also have fixed. The tires are in VERY good shape, but are not super sporty tires, but they work very well. The wheels are chrome, but some of the old factory chrome is coming off and I am planning on getting them sandblasted and powdercoated silver, which I think will look very good! Everything in the car works except for the intermittent controls for the windshield wipers. My ACV isn't working but I am replacing it this weekend.

Thanks a lot!

thats basically my exact car, but when i got it absolutley everything was working great.
Mine was $1500

I would prolly try for maybe $2000ish

I hope you don't expect the stereo to add value...

I am next week picking up a 91 with the same color, and a sunroof, but with what looks like a little better condition, and no cardboard intake surround for $1000, so I wouldn't give much more for your car.

i have a sunroof too, and the intake is wrapped in heat resistant silver tape and would be as good as sheet metal, but sheet metal is A LOT harder to shape. i dont think the stereo ads value, im just telling what i can about the car. but how many miles are on the 91?
