I've been workin on my project car for the past 3 years and have put less than 1500 miles on my car. I love this car, but it seems like all i do is spend money on this thing! Soo now i'm entertaining the thought of selling my baby.


I've spared no expense and bought all genuine products from japan and had work done by professionals. it really paid off. people stare at the car and i get complements everytime i drive it out, but i can't keep spending money on her!~here's a list of mods. let me know if anyone is serious about buying.

I've spent over 48 grand and would like to get at least 32k out of it

hate to break it to you but no way will you come close to getting 32k if you decide to sell.

 

looks like a 20-22k car to me

but thats my opinion

thats the problem with modding, you can NEVER get back the money you put in..

so my question is, why mod the car when you know you're not/cant keep it?

but holy crap, 48 grand??!??! dude, keep the car, save yourself the regret..

 

Hate to say it, but one thing which is going to kill your resale value is the stock rims. You spent all that money on the body and still have the stock rims which don't really work with the flared fenders (unless those are just old pics).

There have been very few FD's sold near the $30k range. You might be able to get $22k or so for it depending on how long you can wait for the right sale.

 

I agree with everything that has been said above. Keep the car, you will not get anywhere near 32k.

 

You could always part it out. I might be interested in getting some parts from you.

 

yupp, part it out like any other modded car and sell the car as close as stock as possible

 

if you part it out, I would be more than willing to buy some parts off of you.

 

it doesn't sound like you have anything left to do to the car. just keep it and enjoy your hard work and money. even if you part it out, you won't get close to what you put into it.

i just sold my first FD which I spent a lot of time and money rebuilding and selling it was an annoying experience. at least i broke close to even on mine at 15k.

 

^^ echoing above... maybe even less. I was thinking nothing more than 20.

 

just keep it only spend money on some rims and if something breakes on it. nice paint by the way

 

I'd say it would be anywhere from 22-25k

looks amazing though you did a great job on it

 

and to add to what i said and other people here, you already almost completed to having one of the best looking FD's to date..complete it with rims and be set..look at it every morning and be happy at the work you done..why sell it knowing you DEF lost money on the deal and having that conscious that the person you sold it to might destroy everything you did to that car?

with an investment you made into this car, selling it will only make it more dumb because not only did you lose money modding the car (since you cant get it back) but selling it will only make you lose more money..

 

i agree w/ everyone above

keep her man

 

since everyone else is agreeing... i will agree too

 

I guess i'll agree too! thanks for the input everyone

 

no prob

so what wheels are you getting? lol

 

whats the paint code color on that?

 

Nooooo! Don't do it. I've contemplated selling mine many times, but I realized, I like to reap my own rewards. A new buyer won't appreciate your FD the way you do. He won't feel the same sense of accomplishment you feel because you're the one who put in all the work. You've got a pretty damn good looking FD, so don't let it go.
