how much can i get for my car?

How much can i get for my TII if i want to sell it?
list of bad things:

1.odometer resets at 79k every 100 miles (true mileage unknown)

2. needs new water temp sensor, was planning on replacing this weekend.

3. clutch lost pressure last weekend, should be fixed this coming weekend. i believe the clutch slave cylinder is leaking.

4. some kind of weird rattling sound coming from steering rack... dont know what that means?

5. noisy throwout bearing i think. can hear something spinning when you release the clutch out of gear)

6. wiring harness is spliced in and is kinda ghetto. because of the engine that was put in. (exposed engine harness wires in the engine bay)
thats about it.

a couple of noted good things:

1. engine has good compression

2. new bridgestone potenza(rear) and kumho(front) tires.

3. paint is decent. could use some work, but acceptable.

4. brakes, wheels, tires, all in good condition. car is very smooth braking and very stable when driving fast on the highway.

5. no grinds or crazy **** from the transmission. shifts fine. nice and solid.

6. emissions removed.

7. i replaced the turbo with a good used s4 turbo and it spools and boosts nicely.

thats about all of the good and bad stuff i can think of. the mods on my car are in the sig and the car boosts to about 9 lbs in the cold and usually 8 on the average day.
i was thinking that i would try to get 2600 bucks or maybe a little more since the car will will be running and very driveable. let me guys know what you think.

2600-3k sounds fair...if your car had those actual wheels in your signiture it might sell for more j/k

good luck

i guess the thing i'm trying to get across is that the engine has good compression, turbo works great, transmission is fine, etc.. all of the important stuff is fine. there are just a bunch of little BS problems that i dont like dealing with.

lol... mine is exactly the opposite. the car on the outside is pretty much a show car, but the transmission is shot, clutch is barely present, and then engine has a blown water seal. the interior is pretty rough too.

breaks down like this:
4000 for this car and a parts car with good engine/transmission, rear end.
then, another 1700 for rebuild/sp and 300 for an act clutch, swap the tranny from the other seven and boom, new car.

2600 is pretty cheap

With a solid compression test... 3k-3.5k. It's a good car. AND it's a turbo.

Everyone will tell you "that's cheap you should ask for more" then if you put it up for sales everyone is like "man I'd buy if I had the money". Good luck with selling it just ask for what YOU think it is worth.
