How much could i sell this car for?

[DsmDustin]

Its a 1992 eclipse gs-t. Automatic it has 39k actual miles on engine and chassis. no radio or speakers. it has a manual boost controller and a 60 mm Apex-i boost gauge. no leaks at all. and it is an az car so there ir no rust at all. im just curious what ppl think this car is worth. take a look at my gallery pics.

Here are all the guides I check before selling a car:

They all have different ways of marking checkboxes of options and different levels of decay. Prices can vary based on many things and thats why I check them all.

I attend car auctions and have talked to many people as both a buyer and seller of cars. I've dealt with dealerships and private owners. I'm on car #7 in nearly 4 years of driving. Yes I'm young, but I do know my stuff and how to get what I want at the price I want.

Normal people don't like mods on a car as it may indicate rough treatment or abuse. You can often sell the car and mods seperately and come out on top. Being on a web board of enthusiasts might change that view a little though. Seeing your mods as safety mods and not speed mods, I woulds not worry.

You'll also have to deduct for not having a sound system at all. Someone interested may, in theory, have to spend ~$300 - $400 to get speakers, HU, wires, etc. and put them in. They could point this out and offer you a lower price than desired. You can get some good audio equipment deals on ebay if you have the time, patience, and skill to install it. Another person may be building for racing and not care. As a buyer, I would use this fact as a "bargaining chip" to deduct from an asking price.

Another person may say that its not a GSX and even use that as a bargaining chip. When there is a higher model or missing option, people who know the car will use this to their advantage.

You do have rediculously low miles though, making it disirable because it has less wear on it. I see rediculosuly low mile stock GNs (Buick Grand Nationals) often being sold above or near original MRSP.

Condition does play a big role. In the desert-like states I heard warings of rubber drying and problems like that. Do some back to black on your trim to keep it flexy and prevent it from drying.

It all depends on how much some one really wants that car though too. I was hoping for $9500 for my RT TT Stealth and I got $10900 (on the window was $11500), because there was a lot of desire from the buyer. It didn't hurt that I was a seller who knew what he was talking about and it was in the price range he wanted either. He told me that all his friends had Corvettes. I used this piece of knowledge to state that my 94 RT TT would beat any 94 or earlier stock vette (a TRUE statement). I added that my car was a coupe classification on insurance and not a 2-seater sports car and that leaned him more towards what he wanted. Heres the point: Listen to your interesed buyers and know your stuff! It could be a multi- hundred dollar difference.
