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 about selling - need opinions of pricing

Post by miyagi » June 04, 2006

Alright ... so i probably won't sell my car ... but it has crossed my mind a few times, and every time it did, i have absolutely no idea what to ask for it.

As most of you know, i've run into a few problems with my car motorwise, and it's just kinda beating me down into not wanting to rebuild it again.

Besides, i'm in debt and the sale of the car alone would be enough to get me 80% out of debt i'm sure.

So my question is, what kind of price would you buy this car for, or if you owned it, what would you be looking to get out of it.

Mods list

95 Integra GSR
~80,000 miles on chassis
either completely unmodded B20 or LS longblock or mild build b20/ls vTaK (stock airbox, exhaust, etc)
Interior is in excellent condition ... never been smoked in, no burns, rips, tears or missing pieces.

extras
Galapagos Green Metallic paintjob (1 year old paint, EVERYTHING painted, minus engine bay (which will be sprayed flat black), inside gas cap (also sprayed black), and interior (under carpet and panels is still red). NO RUST
OEM JDM ITR front end conversion w/ HID (fogs and sidemarkers need wired)
OEM JDM ITR powerfold mirrors (need wired)
OEM ITR spoiler
OEM Honda rear emblems
OEM 98 spec all red tail lights
VIS oem style Carbon fiber hood (small chip on driver's front corner)
mugen hood pins
Eibach sportline springs
15" Gold Rota Attacks w/ 90% 195/50 kumho tires
fresh inspection

here are some random pics

thanks fellas

I bet you could get 12K on ebay.

or maybe someone with a stock or lightly modded hatch will trade you plus cash

honestly anymore people are paying insane amounts for cars and parts. i bet if you put it on ebay with a HUGE reserve you could get a good idea of what people are willing to pay w/o even selling it. that way you know u wont get too little for the car. thats what i would do.. and if the highest bid at the end of the auction is reasonable then contact that bidder and set up a sale.

that's exactly what i was thinking of doing jon ... i was gonna set it at an unreasonable amount ... maybe like 15,000 or something and in one sense hope for the best (aka some tool pays 15 grand for it) but for the most part just watch it and see what it ends up going up to... who knows ... some fucking 16 year old kid just got a brand new Ford GT last night locally ... so maybe some one will make mommy and daddy pay way too much for my hunk of crap

Part of me doesn't want to sell it ...

Part of me wants out of debt and knows that a project is a project ... there's plenty of time for another.... who knows

I'm gonna wait to sell my block and a few other things, swap in an LS motor then decide from there.
