I wish you the best of luck but I don't see it selling for not than $6800. Not sure if you're a member on the link forums but if you go over there, you will see that there are 2 99 gsx's fs that are WAY higher caliber than this car. I'm talking fully built stroker, shearer turbokit with 1000awhp capable turbo, fully built shep stage 4 tranny, full dsmlink with all options, the list goes on and on and they are turn key, ac, full on daily drivers and all the parts are either brand new or have less than 200 miles on them. T he nicer of the two, after having th car up with an asking price of $10k for almost 4 months, finally ended up parting the car out and even after almost a month of that, he's only sold the tranny, clutch, and some small items. Your car, I see either a punishment racing budget or eBay manifold, punishment fmic, EVO manifold, no ignition upgrade etc.... Not saying there's anything WRONG with your setup or that the combo doesn't work, but its just a whole different level. Just saying, if he couldn't get $10k for that car, there's no way in HELL this things pullin $9.5k. Crazier things have happened though. I'd say your only hope is a sucker with some sort of trade or trade plus money that'll get you to that $9.5k mark, or you part out the car and put it back to stock and TRY to get $4500-$5k for it. Best of luck!

Thank you for your two cents. But I bet if you tried to sell it, you wouldn't get one cent for it.

I don't really understand what you mean but, okay. I don't know if you can't take constructive criticism or what but I was just giving you something to compare it to since the price seems a little off the mark for what the market will allow. If that's too much for you to handle, then you probably shouldn't post it in an open forum where you're going to get feedback and opinions. Again, I HOPE that you DO get your asking price. It's a beautiful car.

I love how he pulled $6800 from thin air LOL.

If you must know how I got to that number, I added the $4,500 that I feel the car is worth in stock form to what I believe he could get for the aftermarket parts on the car, along with a reasonable amount to compensate for installation of it all and what most would pay for all of the above, based on the state of the market. So yes.....thin air, being my opinion as to what I believe those amounts are.
 
I was devaluing you in an open forum like felt it necessary to do to me.

And if you must know how I arrived at my asking price:

Kbb in very good condition $5500
Plus all the parts that I could sell separately at used prices to get it back to stock...
Rims+tires 1000
Tokico struts 150
Gt35 800
Ex manifold 75
Custom 3" exhaust down pipe to hks catback 500
Trial wastgate 200
4" intake 100
Evo 8 maf 75
Punishment fmic 200
Evo 3 int manifold 100
90 nt throttle body 75
1000cc injectors 250
Walbro 75g
Arp l19 150
Hks 272 400
Evo 8 springs/retainers 50
Powdercoated valve cover 100
Mishimoto radiator 150
Slim fans 100
Halo headlights 50

That's $9000 in completely reasonable used part prices. Plus the time spent building it and keeping it maintained. Plus a small markup to cover any low ball offers that will inevitably come my way via Craigslist. Maybe its not worth it to you, but how about you keep it to yourself? You serve no purpose to this discussion.
 
You do understand that money spent adds almost nothing to the value, right?

That's conventional wisdom and it is stupid. For someone to get their car built to my level, it would take at least the amount of money I am asking, and more likely much more. I feel my car isworth every cent of my asking price and I will continue to look for the right buyer who gets it. Just because you want to sell your car for pennies on the dollar, doesn't mean everyone does.
 
Not saying you can't ask what ever amount, just pointing out a well known fact.

1000hp DSMs are struggling to bring in that kind of cash, and they probably have five times the investment you do.

Exactly. This was all I was saying as well in an attempt to give you a more realistic perspective. I wasn't tryin to devalue you in any way. That being said, I'd try this site for the trade deal, as that's your best option short of parting it out. It's a great site and I've actually done a trade that was highly in my favor.

Well I appreciate your attempt at advice. Maybe bashing my car ad and telling me my car is worth less than I'd hoped for is really your way of saying you care?

Mazzy: I would if it was stock and well maintained, but I don't know how you intend on getting both cars across country bud...
 
Nobody's bashing your car dude. Sell it for whatever you think its worth. That's why its your car. All we were tryin to do is give u a little dose of reality as what the market's willing to pay and give you something to compare to in order to support that. The guy on the link forums wasn't "giving his car away". He simply had a better grasp of the current state of the market and what people are willing to pay right now, and even still, he ended up parting it out and is still even strugglin with that, even with MUCH higher end parts. And there's many other examples if you just look around.

Why would you upgrade ignition for 400hp? Or even 500? Or 600? Most cop are worse than stock
 
I was merely comparing it to the things that came on the 1000awhp capable gsx that could be had for roughly the same amount as this car.

I think it's a very fair price for a car that is dyno proven, and well put together. Clean! Not a ratty car for 4 grand that hardly runs, with a big turbo. I think for a
Compete car you can ask more! If I was in the market for a nearly finished car, that can pass smog!!!! This would be it. There will always be Na Sayers, but this car is nice. More over, it's good for someone who wants to turn key and drive. !

I recognize that car in the left ;)
 
Holy ####ing whit guys. The car is 9k. If your not buying stop replying. He already said he knows its going to be a hard sell and he's not looking to give it away. Your dose of reality is selling it to someone he doesn't want to sell it to for a price he doesn't want to sell it for. Your dose of reality is your telling someone shit he already knows.

This guy gets it hahaha.

I'm a patient dude and I'm not in any rush to sell the car. I don't need the cash desperately, nor do I feel the need get taken by someone just looking for a nice car on the cheap. You get what you pay for.

I feel you on that but there's always a way. how much on top, at the very least?

I'll pm you.
 
jacob.. been a while bud... sad to see you selling the red rocket that i never got to see. I sold my gsx for 7k and mine was built way less than yours. Turns out mine had alot more problems than i anticipated but the reason i commented was to tell you, you can def get your price. Dont let these haters on here get away with talking crap about your price. I never understood why people act super tough and be smart asses in a for sale thread.
 
Yeah man, how's Oregon? I know there's value in the car and I'll stick to my guns. Right now I'm thinking my best chance though is to trade it for another car and then sell that car to get my money back. Something like an s4, m3, or along those lines. Plus I would get to kick around in a nice cruiser for a while before I sold it too.

I agree with this idea and think you've got a good opportunity with a b5 s4 or b6 a4. I'm an ex vw/Audi guy. Current daily is an aviator gray 225tqm TT. Good luck!:thumb:
 
bottom line here is this guys, if you guys were in his shoes and you had something like he had, all work done and upgraded would you sell it for 2 grand or under 5 grand? i can tell you this not going to even lie. if you came up to me with lets say 3 grand for my gst ill first laugh than say no thanks. even 4 grand ill laugh. to alot of people it may not be something like a gold pot but to me if it was my car and if i wanted this much thats how much its going to be sell for. dont like it keep looking buddy. lets all stop the bashing and you should sell it for this much dude stuff. its his car let the man ride for dsm nation sake. one more thing. just being me. if id ask for x amount of dollars for my car and i cant get it, i rather beat the car to pieces with my small fist LOL than have someone butt raped me for all my hard work blood, sweat, and tears and take my baby home for couple of grand. i aint rich and i aint poor. let the man sell his ride in peace. amen

tony spyder :D
