Arrow How much is my 3rd gen worth?

Lately my sensible side has been getting the better of me and I've been considering selling my FD. If you guys could tell me what you think it's worth as is (I know I can get a lot more if I part it out) I would appreciate the input.

BASICS

'94 Base 5 speed, first sold in May of '95
95k miles
Black Interior 9.5/10 (new trunk carpet and floormats)
Mercedes Bahama Blue Mica (the color of the '99 - '00 SLK) Exterior 9/10

MODS

Greddy Intakes
PFS Intercooler
HKS Mild Steel DP
Racing Beat Dual Tip Exhaust
M2 Radiator'
Aluminum AST
51R Battery Tray
Ebay Torque Brace
Ebay Strut Tower Bar
Tokico Struts
Greddy Profec B spec ii
Greddy turbo timer
Blitz boost guage in a RE-A steering column pod
SO-3 Pole Position tires w/80% tread
RPS Performance clutch (street disk with a sport pressure plate)
Unorthodox Racing Underdrive Pulleys
HKS blowoff valve
Efini emblems
Painted R1 lip
Feed headlight cover
Fan switch mod
etc...

MAINTENANCE

Had a complete bumper to bumper check done @ Mazda Masters less then 1k miles ago and had everything inspected and replaced as needed...

Motor - good compression on all faces, about 18 in of vacuum
New OEM water pump
New OEM O2 sensor
New OEM motor mounts
New OEM Oilpan
New turbo coolant hoses
Bushings replaced recently
Fairly new brakes
Plugs and oil changed frequently
etc...

I'm sure there is lots more misc maintenance I'm forgetting. I'll post pics so you get an idea of the cars condition and overall look.

Thanks again for any input.

MY GOD Jason...are you crazy?! After the CRAZY hours you've put into that car? Mr. Meticulous? Dude, there's a serious rarity of such clean cars, and of all modes, a BASE?! I think you're crazy to even consider selling it. If you must, wait. I'll take it

What? Who gave you permission to sell that car??
It should be worth a lot considering the condition it's in... You should add : "Great attention getter". IIRC every time I've been at the meet and seen it someone has commented on how nice the car is, even in the midst of all our other fd's...
If you part it let me know . Can't decide what price to put it at, but at least on ebay prices have been going up so good luck with the sale if you do it... but dont :P.

(side note: is that a driving glove on the seat?)

Thanks for the comments/ego stroking guys.

That's a weight lifting glove. I have to move the car out of the garage in order to use the weight set, I guess I set the gloves in the seat while I took the pics.

Mr. Meticulous is right. This guy cares more about how my car is looking more than I do. Even a speck of dust is unacceptable to this OCD neat freak.

I can vouch for Jason's car. It's one clean car. Soundly built and meticulously kept.

Well Jason, looks like you've got a bunch of free bumps if you make a thread to sell her

If you want to sell in a few weeks: $14k, a few months: $16k, a few years: $18k, never: $18k+.

I would pull the mods off and sell them separately.

Well put and exactly what I was thinking as well.

BTW to those that PMed me, I did NOT say I was parting my car out or even certain I was selling it yet, but thanks for the interest.

Some more shots....









Realistically I'm thinking 16k, maybe 17 tops if I wait for the right buyer. The rear hatch needs to be repainted because I had an RB type 2 wing that was removed. The interior is nearly flawless with the exception of some fading in the seats and one small hole in the drivers seat.

It may still be a while before I sell the car, but if anyone who sees this is really interested, feel free to PM me for more info.

that car is too good to sell. keep it!
love the color *drools*. its probably my fav color on the FD!
edit: oh yeah, id probably pay 16.5-18K(hmm...maybe not 18k w/o shipping) for if there arent any problems with it , seriously though, if i had the money i would consider buying your fd if you were gona sell it. and probably 18.5k to ship it across the country to NYC
