How much do you think I could get for my car?

[Terry]

If I was to sell it. 91 ES. 105k on it (somewhere around there), less than 5k on the engine (probably a lot less). It has the nitrous, stage 3 heads, LSD, cams, every other bolt on imaginable. Not to mention all the body mods.

So honestly...I know it's going to be less than I want to hear but what do you think?

What do I think it's worth? Probably 8 to 10k if it's in extremely good shape.

What do I think you have a realistic chance of getting? 5-6k

[Hans_GZP]

you would probably get $6k on ebay.... you can trade it in on a vr4 with me and I'll give you $2k... only because it's an ES

I've been wondering the same thing myself. I'd honestly settle for $6k in my pocket for my SL, even though it's hardly a scratch into what I have in it. Tis the curse of a Mitsu no one really wants.

[vr4]

id consider trading my lincoln for it.


books around 7500

[Terry]

Eh, sorta what I figured. Not worth it and I don't want to sell it bad enough to justify ripping it apart and selling it stock (performance wise).

Terry, show these people some pics man. this is no ordinary ES.

[Caffinated Soap]

'tis a beautiful car, even if it started as an ES. You'll never get what it's worth. Once you buy an N/A, you've bought it for keeps (or to sell at a loss).

Why are you thinking of selling it anyways?

[Terry]

I'm pretty sure everyone that's posted has seen the car in person or at least pics of it on 3SI.

As for my reasons I've just lost interest in it not to mention I could pay off some debt the thing has gotten me into. I would rather have a car I could drive every day and not feel bad about driving when it's raining/snowing. Been looking around at 300C's and could probably afford one by the end of the summer if I could sell my car for $12k plus. I could probably get close to that if I was to part it out but like I said..I don't want to sell it bad enough to justify that. Not to mention I'd hate to see that thing go back to stock.

If I was to put in on 3SI I'm sure I'd get flamed for the price. Been actually debating throwing it on Craiglist, maybe I will tonight.

Terry, it's still an ES no matter how much you want to dress it up haha

$12k is pretty steep. You can get a low mileage 2nd gen turbo for that much.

It's tough to get what you want when you can compare them to something so similar. I don't know why someone would choose a 400 hp juiced fwd car over a 320 hp awd car that can make 400 hp with a couple of bux.

I think you are going to be stuck with that car for a while. I've sold enough of them to know how little you can get and how much you can get.

[Terry]

I know what you're saying Hans and thought that exact same thing myself. The only way I would be able to get that for it is if I found someone who didn't really know what it was and what they could get compared to it.

I just needed everyone to tell me I was retarted for wanting to sell it which in effect would talk me out of it.

Terry

[bluej]

i'll say it again

[Monochrome]

Terry, you're looooong past the point of being able to sell your car for anything worth-while. The only way you're going to get any kind of $$ back is to part the car out.

With that said, I want to buy your nitrous setup.

[Terry]

$12k and it's yours.

Terry

[Monochrome]

I'll give you $700.
