how much would you offer me for my car?
i don't know i probably spend about 8k on parts alone though the 2 years i owned it.... and lots a labor but if i were put it up for sale say to get a STI, Rx-8, Evo8, how much could i really expect to get. Just wondering what some of you guys would offer. SEE LING BELOW

?? no idea... but its a damn well done car.... just a tad too low fro the streets around here though. I guess about 10G+ would seem fair. Maybe 14G or 15G if the person buying know what they are getting.
EDIT: Don't listen to them... It's a really nice car, great shape, low mileage. Most of us here are pretty greedy with money too and are never willing to pay what its worth.
EDIT AGAIN: Oups... I always think canadian $... maybe 7 or 8G US$.

Regardless, the fact is it's a non-turbo, the interior needs work, and really all it has going for it is the knock-off bodykit and the rims, everything else is pretty much common.
i'm not generally a fan of body kits...but I like that one. What kit is that? Good choice ditching the spoiler...looks good with that kit. I'd say 4k tops? Mostly because it's NA (other than the nitrous).

A 'perfect' NA with low mileage or with a rebuilt engine (with regular mileage) is worth $2000-2500 IMO.
Yours however isin't worth nearly that in my eyes. Nitrous? Bodykits? Missing interior? Please.
Take that **** off, sell it to some rice kiddies ($$$ for you!) and you can get much more for the car with stock components. It seems like a clean car except for those "mods" of yours.

Car looks nice except for all the ******* stickers all over the bottom of the body kit. Get rid of that garbage, seriously those really hurt your resale value. If you have the missing interior peices you may want to include them with the car when you sell it.
Unfortunatley its still an NA car. I wouldn't buy it nor will most people on this forum. If it was a turbo car you could easily get $7K+ for it. Turbo swap that bitch and you got yourself a hot sale.

I was being quite generous. Almost all cars are always valued at less than the sum of their individual parts, unless its a NEW CAR.
ah common, its a S5 GTU (base model)... It looked good on the first page, but then the rest of the garbage drops the value. The guy even painted it in his own garage.
Maybe worth $1500-$2000 USD in current condition, but I personally wouldn't offer anything for it if I was looking for a base model S5... I'd just walk away... looks too hacked.

Best FC find IMO. Unmolested S5 GTU.
New Rims & Tires
4-pot front caliper vented rear rotor conversion with Hawk blues
Replace shocks/springs/swabars/bushings.
Miata Torsen Carrier with 4.3 gear set.
Full exhaust with no cat
Cone intake with Heat shield/box.
Fuel Controller
Full Tuneup
Snell SA helmet
Local Road Course
and you got yourself one hell of a fun to drive reliable rx-7.

it doenst look that bad geez, too many old people on here lol
remember young people are buying up alot of the rx-7 out there now days , and body kits and rims is the "modern fad" now days i guess...
im sure u could find a young person,in there 20's ' to buy that car for 3500 anyways. sucks its a base model but a non rx-7 person wouldnt know that....

The paint job looks like he actually used a spray gun, not a can, so it might not be as bad as you think.. but, without eyeballin it in person, i really can't tell if its orange peeled, fish eyed or ran...
The wheels themselves look good, but you are running the wrong sized tires. Makes the wheels look undersized, especially in the back (which they are). 215/45/17s would fill out the fenderwell better in the front and you could put a 225/45/17 on the rear.. If you wanted lower profiles and weren't staggering the wheel sizes, you should have got 18's (not that the staggering part matters, but its easy to find 18's that will fit when all four wheels are the same.. a little tougher to get the same wheels in 18's that have different widths front to back and will fit the car up front)
Honestly, I'd put the stockers back on the car to sell it and chuck those wheels on ebay.
Its got a rollcage, which is a plus.
The body kit seems like it fits well.
the Naws.. well.. i guess that's candy to kids that would be looking at your car.
Interior aint that bad, but it IS hacked...
I think you can get 4000 for the car with the stock wheels and get some more for the aftermarket wheels on E-Bay!
Keep in mind though...... its still an N/A FC... they don't go for much more than that in GREAT condition.
what a bunch of ****... its a nice car, he did aot of work to it... how is it a waste of time? ****. whats wrong with making an n/a look good? thats exactly what mine will look like, same kit, diff color and rims. does that mean he didnt want to turbo the car? hell im gonna turbo mine or drop an ls2 in but havnt decided yet, thats why im going body+paint right now.... depending on where you live is whats gonna determine how much you get. around here (in my town in georgia) i wouldnt be surprised if you got 5 or 6k for it... cars go for high around here... put it on ebay and you'll get a decent price out of it
you can sell that to some kid for 5 k...... tey dont know what they are getting.. nevermind its slow... they see it looks fast.. really 5 k and its gone.. someone will suck that up.. no one here in the forums cuz we know better than to pay that much for an NA thats been chopped up. not a rookie though.. 5k...
I wouldn't even buy it. Even when I was getting into cars when i was a kid, I knew better than to use NOS, body kits, and put stickers on your car(especially if you don't have them).
