How much would you buy my car for?

Just curious, heres some background.


BOught the car 2 years ago for $900 as a base model. About 1 1/2 ago it got a full paint job including sanding down to the metal, and all body work was fixed. The car has a rebuild motor with literally 70 miles on in right now, a rebuild diff. with 50 miles, a new battery, waterpump, and lots of other little stuff.

The body has 220K miles, but little has that many miles. The shocks and springs have been replaced with the aftermarket ones earlier this summer. It also has GXL seats and hubs.

So basically it has a new engine, diff., suspension, paint, and the mods in sig.

What do you guys think?

If it has all those mods listed in ur sig, then Id say $2500 maybe $3000 if 7s are rare in ur area. That is one clean azz ride! I know u put tons of $$$ into it, but mods really dont increase the value all that much. Out of curiousity, why are u selling it? Good luck tho and propson the ride!

I think you are really going to have to wait out for the right buyer. You'll need to wait for someone who (A) Wants a modified car, and (B) has the same taste as you. The car still "technically" has 220k miles on it, which could be a big turn-off for alot of people. The custom paint job could go either way, all depends on the buyers taste. I'd say there is a pretty wide range on price for the car, from $1500-$4000. Unless you get lucky though, youll need to wait it out until the right buyer comes to get the upper range of that.

I havent decided to sell it, just curious what I could get if I did. I know I wont get much for the mods, but Im looking at it as a car with nice paint, engine, suspension, and diff, so it should be trouble free for quite awhile.

RXmfn7- Ya Im definately aiming at a young kid with some money who wants a "dope ride"

is that blue decal painted on or is it a vinyl that you can take off? If it can come off I might be willing to make an offer but if it is painted on then I would have to pass on the car.

The body is fine from the wreck, only thing broken was the body panels. The blue stripe is painted on, not vinyl. My taste wasnt as matured as it is now, but I still dont think its that ridiculous.

Well the time has come, it is for sale. I'm asking $3,500 or best offer. Feel free to make an offer.

Probably one of the best performance you can buy for $3,500. Car could run low 14s with the SAFC tuned. Plus it handles very well.
