Ok .. I'm looking to buy this car .. but I'm getting a lot of "That car isn't worth that much!" from my friends/parents/fiance.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm going to buy the car anyway .. but it would help the situation if all of you could give me their HONEST opinion about how much this car could go for.

I'm purposely not posting the price they want, so you won't just say something higher to help me out .. I do want HONEST opinions.

THANKS!

The Bad:
There is an exhaust leak betweent the engine and the HKS manifold One of the studs in the block came out (this can easily be fixed when fixing the exhaust leak) The sunroof needs to be painted to match the car.


I am sure that I am forgetting some of my mods, I have got so much done to the car that I tend to forget stuff. In the cars current configuration the car dyno'ed 308 to the rear wheels at 15psi. With a larger .96AR on the turbo the car should easily hit high 300's and has plenty of fuel to do this.

 

so are you looking for a value? If the body, paint and motor are great its an 8-10k car, which means its a super clean car, yes?... Its totally down on power and needs to be tuned...That should run 400rwhp pretty easy with that .96...

Without seeing the car its hard

 

It's worth about $1500.



















Actually it's worth quite more than that I work with the guy who's selling it and I've seen lesser cars sell for $8k and up.

 

Addition: "the car also has a Walbro fuel pump"

These pictures are "... still very close. Only difference is the sunroof is different, and the rear bumper right around the exhaust is burnt a bit from shooting fire. But that isn't really noticeable."

Here are some pics of the car.

It really depends, you can't price the car off KBB value etc, because market is now dictating the price and it is definatly a sellers market. I paid 5k for my bone stock S5 TII (the black car in the pics) with 77k miles on it. Some people say mods don't add to the price of the car, some people say they do, it all depends on YOU. If YOU want the car what is it worth to YOU. You can never get into these cars (or pretty much any modern car) and expect to even break even, its a loosing battle.

The outside of the car is about as clean as a S5 TII can get, a quality repaint, nice wheels, etc. I belive he would have no problem asking 8500 for it and getting near that from the right person.

 

Ok .. can I get some people who DON'T know Jay?!
(You've got too many friends, J!)

hahahah

We wouldn't steer you wrong Ricky. NOW... if you were buying a Geo Metro from me with a suspiciously out of shape core suport....

 

"oh ****!!"

 

Bwahahahhahaha...

That car sold for $7500 wiith paint and drivability issues.

 

I know this .. I trust Jay .. hell .. I bought my current 7 because I trust Jay .. granted I expected to learn from him, then I moved .. le sigh .. oh well ..

I haven't found too many Tally people that'll take me under my wing .. at least none that have a really nice 7 (no offence to any of ya)

The biggest thing that people are harping on is the selling price in 5+ years.

 

I have no clue who this Jay guy is... but I'd pay at least 8k for a car like that!

 

Anybody else got $0.02 to throw in?

 

i just would be leary about buying a car with many mods. not really "your" car. but if you want get it.

 

Well .. I know the man .. and I like his tastes .. and I can always put an 8-ball shift **** and foot-print pedals on it and make it mine! ;-p

 

Anybody else?
Can I get a bump bump?!
