My Car's Value? Options

[Coomer]

I'm almost positive that this won't happen, but the thought of selling my car and buying a five-speed silver on black '99 Infiniti G20 has crossed my mind lately. I'm sick of being harassed by the cops in my loud yellow coupe, and a quiet silver sedan won't attract near as much attention. Plus the G20 is a really sexy car in my opinion...they look good, handle well, are SR20-powered, and weigh less than 3,000 lbs. I posted a couple pics of a nice one below. That said, I don't think I could ever get rid of my Celica.

Now if I were to sell my car, I'd first put in my OEM flywheel and a new clutch to solve my tranny problems. I'd also fix my hydraulic system. I'd repaint the front end of the car as well, with my current modifications completed. I'd sell the car with either the 18" wheels or the 17" wheels on it. The car has 117,000 miles on the chassis, with far less than that on the motor and tranny, which both function perfectly.

So what do you guys think it's worth? I'm just kind of curious.

Wow.. Dont sell your celica Commer, you have been an inspiration to many of us here on this site, I for one included. Think of all the heart you have poured into your pride and joy before anything. I never would have gotten as interested in my car if it wasnt for this website That said, value wise, a tuned car has it's ups and downs in the used car market. Properly done they can return big on investment, but in the case of your celica, most people dont know the desirablity factor of the 4A-GE, and 6th gens arent high on wish lists either... Someone who would be willing to pay the TRUE value of the car would be few and far between, in my opinion... I dont rememebr if you said you got your A/C to work after the engine swap, but i think if you dont have A/C it would be next to impossible to get a reasonable price for you to break even after its all said and done...
