Nah man you shouldnt sell it, you should give it away, for free, to me

[Phat_99CeliGT]

Id give ya my cavalier for it

Im not too sure, but prolly not more then $6000 for it?
I could be low balling it, but not sure.

Depends on the miles and the wear and tear a lot.

[boosted_K2]

probably put down 9K OBO and hope for about 8.5K, unless its high milage

[celicakid84]

oops forgot the mileage....yea the engine has 45,000 miles and the car has 106,000

[Guest_Matthew_*]

dude just put a 4agze in there..

[zigy]

I would recomend that you take all the parts off .... sell them on e-bay....

and then it would be easier to sell bone-stock car....

*lot of people don't like modified cars.... trust me...

if someone thinks otherwise, well then MY CAR IS FOR SALE......

(93.5 Supra TT would be nice....);

This is just from my perspective when i was first looking for a car and cars ive looked at since ive had my celica, but hate to say this, selling your customized car on ebay is somewhat the ultimate test to your sense of style. Im not trying to put anyone down or disrepect, but ive seen some ugly customized cars on ebay that the owners thought were beautiful, but to everyone else looked like crap, and then ive seen some cars well done, that have sold for more then stock price of the car.

The pattern ive seen is cars that look like stock or have bodykits that look clean and are close to stock with paintjobs to match (stickers and chameleon colors bring down price of car) sell for a nice markup.

Really you guys know what i mean from seeing other peoples rides, some people have a sense for style.

Price raisers:
1. nice paintjob
2. 3sgte engine
3. stock body
4. non exotic bodykit
5. well done interior

Price depressors:
1. Stickers
2. exotic chameleon colors
3. exotic bodykits
4. badly done interior

For a 94 ST?

Mods don't mean anything to price, really. You can dump a *lot* in and end up getting $500-$1000 of that back.

He'll probably only get $6k for it tops on ebay even with all that stuff.

Or, just dump a 4agze in it.. That's my vote.

on ebay yea 6ish sounds right, but i bet someone would pay 8 for it if you sell it locally. ESPECIALLY with only 35K miles on the engine

thats also very true about you not getting your moneys worth from mods, but if he is only THINKING about selling the car, that means he doesnt really need to in a hurry, so he can hold out for someone who does want a car already modified.

[celicakid84]

yea thats exactly what i was thinking k2, im just gonna put it up for sale for like 8,000 obo and if i dont get something close to that then i wont sell.

[Rivo]

Then it's not really OBO now, is it?

but no one else needs to know that lol

OBO is like that ace-in-the-hole, it always leaves you a way out.
