I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Thinking of selling my car. How much?

Post by 2-7offsuit » November 17, 2004

So I know that this is kind of a dumb question, but I'm bored and thought I'd make some conversation. Anyway, I keep thinking about selling my car. I really really want a WRX. The problem is that I'm not sure how much to ask for it because I have quite a bit of money into it. It's a white '92 vx and the body and paint are in really good shape.

Mods: B16b (CtR yO!), Tein basics, Regamaster Evo's, jdm airbox, crazy 4-2-1 header, apexi ws exhaust w/ carsound cat, fluidyne radiator, reprogrammed ecu, del sol seats, spoon rear strut bar, real vision dark amber corners, cf duckbill spioler, lightened flywheel, thin side moldings plus other misc stuff.

What do you guys think would be a decent asking price? I know I'll never get back what I've put into it, but hopefully I won't take a huge loss. I'm not going to say how much I was thinking so that I can see what you guys would say first.

Thanks for looking.

Hmm...Tough one.

What do you need/want out of it?

Start at 10-12k and work down if you don't get any offers. Just a guess really.

You could part it out too. You could get some cash for that b16b. Then sell the car with a stock powerplant.

Ya like munster was saying you could get more out of the B16B by itself, but by itself i would ask 11k for it sounds nice and clean... have you posted pics before??

Thanks guys. That was actually quite a bit more than I was thinking. Maybe I won't have too much trouble trying to sell it afterall. I was only planning on trying to get about $7,500. I'm going to put it up in the forsale section sometime this week. I'm just waiting for the crappy weather to clear up so I can clean it and take some pics.

always start high. even if its way out of the question. there might always be that 1 person thinking it a steal.. keep the reserve in your head and dont let anyone talk you down below that.. like munster said start it out around 10.. or part it out even alot of people are willing to pay top dollar for parts now a days becase of things becomming more rare.
