A few suggestions:

1. Pictures. You need to get pictures up asap. There are many programs out there (free ones) which can resize and/or compress photos. Something like this:

or heck just PM me and I can do it for you.

2. Compression test. Having a compression test already done will help out.

3. Lastly, patience. The people who are buying this car today are young kids without much money. They are buying the The older people with money buy newer cars, so you just have to be patient.

I have car with similar miles and condition and I'd expect closer to $15k for a moderately quick sale. Given the current market I would not be surprised to get less.

And since winter is only a few months away in NY, you might want to calculate the cost of keeping the car until next April or so.

+1 to all mentioned above. also keep in mind that getting a loan is hard to near impossible right now so your looking at cash customers which will reduce your expected value

you have to be a member of M3 forum to view the pics.

Here's my good deed for the day and a little help from a fellow M3 and FD owner

had to resize the pics...they were HUGE.

I could talk about the value of these cars until the cows come home

Autotrader is laugh riot, KBB is off on every car because of the economy.

c5 Z06s w/ 20k miles are selling for 25k or less...retail 50k +

c6 z06s w/5k miles are selling for 50k or less...retail 70k +

07 lotus exiges are selling for 45k...retail 65k +

Honda s2000s are selling for.......etc...etc...

The FD is probably in the top 10 for least practical cars and this is not the time to buy a gas guzzling high maint car because that's what everyone is trying to sell.

This may seem harse but I'm always buying and selling these cars and I'd purchase the 94 base VR that's priced at 14k long before your 93 at even 13k. In my opinion the 94s are worth A LOT more because of the interior alone but then start adding in the gas tank, the rear sub, the AC, the sound deadening, the paint,..........

You have a really nice car and it may be worth 20k in 5 years (or 7k) but right now I'd say 12k max for a quick sale. Probably not what you wanted to hear and hopefully you'll find a buyer

Keep it. right now for sure but in the long term too. they are great cars and at the rate people are crashing them wont be around forver. with the economy the way it is selling cars is harsh. my friend just bought a mint GTR32 for $6000 because someone saw things turning bad and tried to sell.

a car is an investment. Never mind that its the worst investment you can buy but it is. buy low sell high. its a buyers market right now. Infact I just got a new daily and I am looking at adding another fun car to the roster but people selling right now are just cheating themselves.
