The Official "What's this DSM worth?" Thread

[ilco187]

if you were in my area it would go maybe between 2,400-3,200 since 2g's are rare but popular.

 

[GSXSixteenG]

Its tough to get people to pay for something that doesn't run. I wouldn't pay anymore than $1500ish. Its pretty much stock imo.

 

[timmy]

To max out your dollar it would be a wise decision to get it running right then sell it. Other wise people WILL pay 500.00 Mybe new block and bearings?

If it runs good then $1000 is a helluva deal even with the hideous bumper and what not.

 

[DWR-DSM]

He needs rent money so work him down........

 

[minimotos95]

[Bmxr152]

How much you guys think i could get for my laser?

Its 90 laser fwd 232k miles on chassis, 5k on motor, trans , clutch. It has the fp 68hta turbo, 2g manifold and o2 housing, DSM link V3, 2g Maf, Big brake kit, KYB's, 750cc injectors, PR fmic, 255 lph, Fuel Lab AFPR, 2.5" turbo back side exit, and 272 cams. Interior has boost and wideband as well as shifter bushings, and HKS turbo timer, mb quart speakers, fresh white paint on stock 90 tsi wheels. I will get some pics up later. But what do you guys think would be a good starting price here in cali?

 

[minimotos95]

if she does have to hire him a lawyer let me know i'd buy it.

go for it, she says no now.

 

[talondragon3]

i would honestly love to know what other dsm owners think mine would sell for maybe not to them jsut in general i agree with defiant also because people will probably low ball and say a low price but honesty would be nice

 

[Kingnc02]

you also have to think about what kinda market you atract with the car. when "modded" you narrow down many potential buyers, which in turn adjusts the price(generally down), and make you find a buyer who is looking for that specific set up. with a completely stock car of any type it is easier to sell, because who knows granny might want a stock gsx, or a man daughter want a "pretty car", i dont know bout you but i wouldnt want my daughter to drive some of these 300-400 hp dsms.

 

[blaknoize]

^that is a very good post. I purchased a modded car before and I hated it because the setup was of the last owners likes and beyond my understanding. The value/worth of a slightly or lightly modded car or stock can be sold much easier and can at times be worth more than a high HP almost track car.

Considering an all stock older model is rarer than anything, it is more sawt after than a ghetto mod chassis with bits and pieces missing or non-functioning or irreplacable.

People would like creature comforts A/C-Heat, P/S and reverse lights. I also wouldnt want my son/daughter driving around in a modded car that couldnt be repaired or reasonably maintained.

 

[hoyboi]

yea you should deffinatly make this a sticky

[Derock2gspyder]

[Caivn]

i have a 92 eagle talon that im probably gonna sell, right now the transmission is messed up but the car will run. how much would someone be willing to buy it for. the car is in pretty good condition. come with a extra radiator and a fan, im needin a price that i could sell it for locally. need some help i dont know what it is worth in this state of condition. thanks guys

 

[diablo03]

Pics of the car would be helpful, as would mileage......but an honest asking price would probably be around $1000.
