Best thing to do would probably be looking in the classified section of this web-site. See what guys with the same type of car for sale are asking. :talon:

I would say if maybe around $4,700-$6,000 depending on the mileage/body condition

Again no mileage doesn't really help make it a better quote but I would say like $1,500-$2,500

Go to kbb.com and input all the stuff and they give you more accurate prices.
 
i'm debating whether to sell my 95 gsx w/ 52,775 miles. i purchased it for $10,000 and i also want to sell it for that same price, but i dont know if people will bite on it. i mean if someone here purchased a 2002 wrx for $21,000 stock except for a cwest kit and spoiler, then im pretty sure i have a chance of getting what im asking for. i am trying to sell it for this price so i can find an alternative cheaper 2g ($4000-$6000), and put the extra money into it ...:p i also have some extras that will stay on the car, hopefully it'll satisfy some of the people interested (mods.....o0o0o0o0o):
air filter, brode uicp, 1g bov, brode turbo inlet pipe, AMS feramic clutch, ngk bpr6es, symborski base shift kit, tranny shifter bushings, and a panasonic deck.

well anyways, my question is, if yall were to sell your car, how much would u want for it?
 
Mine is a 96 RS 100% stock motor (for now). I bought it for 6K.....but after adding PS2, 8" lcd, stereo, dvd etc ive been told i could get 8K.

Bah, i love my car to much to sell it :dsm:

I don't know how much people would offer on mine. Yours problaby isn't worth 10.

im pretty sure myself that my car isnt worth 10, but that doesnt matter to me. what matters is if someone would bite on it for 10... :shhh:

i highly doubt you can get 8k for any 96 RS


no offense, but you can pic up a 98 gsx for that much
 
i paid just over 8 for mine....just installed motorized 7" lcd/pioneer headunit/2 infinnity kappa 12's..viper alarm w/ paging system....rest is all stock...60k miles...and even id be pushin gettin 8 back out of it...GS anniversary edition...if it was turbo...this car would be perfect
 
95 Tsi w/ 77,000 on the clock, almost mint condition,,
paid around 4700

In current form w/out aftermarket wheels I'm thinking I could get around 5,500 for it. Car looks good w/ the zaino and a few fixes. I'm thinking bout selling it to buy a local TSi AWD w/ low miles for $4,500. My current car has been so good and reliable though, so I dunno.


6 grand for a 96 RS OMG
They go for 2,800 - 3,900 here, maybe its california???
 
my 1997 gsx would probably be worth 10k if it was still stock and still the mileage it had when I bought it ... now it has 15k more on it and 15k worth of parts. I'd say mines worth about 11k now ... but I wouldn't sell it for less than 17k. As far as value you gotta go by blue book ... but as far as setting a limit for the lowest you'd let it go for that's up to you. If your limit falls into the blue book area then you might have a shot at selling it. If it's way off then unless your car is VERY modded or the buyer is an idiot it won't sell. For a basically stock 1995 gsx I wouldn't pay more than 7k.
 
as far as blue book goes, the value of a 95 gsx with 52,XXX miles is $7,100. the only reason why im going for $10,000 is because there are a bunch of idiotic people that purchase imports for more than they are worth, i live on an island, and kids want to get their hands behind a fast import ( my car here is basically known to be one of the fastest imports... :p ) i live in a town consisting of 16,000 people. not alot of 2g's rolling around except for the 2g nt's. so i believe my chances for landing a price far more than the blue book is possible. on the other hand, if i were to sell my car in a big city then im sure there will be no chance that i'd get $10,000 for my car, but the fact that import cars here are limited and i live on a small island tells me my chances are good. i guess it all depends on the area u are selling a vehicle.

I dont think Id ever sell my car unless the price was right.

Id part with it for 10,000 (Considering the mods and money Ive vested in it that would be cheap)

Same here. Don't even know if I'd take 10 or not. At least not at this moment. This car is incredible and I still have some big plans for it :)
 
You don't get any extra money for mods, sometimes it even devalues the car. Mine books for 9,700 stock with 49,000 miles and with the amount of money i put into it i thought i could make out pretty good. I advertised it for 11,700 and was willing to go as low as 10,500, but no one was interested. Guess i will just keep it for another 10k and see what happens then.

Well damn. You hear that Kevin. Our cars are actually worth less than a stock 1g. And here I was, this whole time, thinking that the $30k that's been put into this car actually made it worth SOMETHING over book! :rolleyes: Get outta here.....
 
hmm
11 grsand to buy car
14 grand into it
traded to dealer for 5 gransd
yep i got screwed so will you

Unless you're just HAVING to get rid of the car NOW for whatever reason, the right buyer WILL come along. Did on my last car. And I honestly believe I could get a GOOD chunk for this one too...IF I ever decide to sell it. Patience is a virtue ;)
 
Mods WILL devalue the car to the general public. If you can find someone who absolutely wants the car, you might be able to get more.

The bank says my 96 GSX with 117K on it is worth 5K.

I bought it for 9K 2 years ago. :(
 
91 GSX with 63,000 Original Miles and all 60k tune up done at 56k miles, along with the aftermarket parts I have added and the literature, car cover, etc. I'd probably sell for $6k but that won't happen for a long time.
