Help me out on a Classic Celica.... Options

[Tanuki]

So this guy is selling this car, but I have no idea where he is getting 18k for what it's worth?

Here is the ad:

Does this seem like good pricing to you? I was thinking like somewhere near 10-12 would be a bit more appropriate.

Anyways I know this isnt a classic celica forum, but what do you think?
here are some pics:

I would not trade my STI/WRX for that. That's for sure... He is dreaming to get that price haha. I don't care how good shape it's in. You make a 94 GT worth 10k and try to sell it for 10k...you better find someone that stupid. Either way it's an amazing old school Celica. Certainly one of a kind as for as I know.

So this is where I am at.



2008 STI

13,000 miles

NADA Books at: $29,525


As for parts the car has:

VOLK TE37 18x9.5 +22 Offset

MSRP:$3620



Tein Monoflex Coilovers:

MSRP: $2300



Chargespeed Bottom Line Front Lip

MSRP: $409.99



Rally Armor UR Flaps

MSRP $140 (I think, their site is down right now)



Pioneer F900BT Double Din

MSRP $1099



OEM Cargo Tray

MSRP $69.99



All Weather Mats:

MSRP: $59.99



Project Kics R40's

MSRP $300



In addition I have the gold BBS, Hankook Ice Bear Snow Tires, Tint, Clear bra on hood, full bumper, headlights, fender splash guards,mirrors

+NADA doesnt take into account the added options like BBS, etc. Original sticker was 40k



I am asking only $31,500 for everything on it so basically there are about 8k in parts you are getting for 2k at that price. The wheels sell used for about $2600.


Basically if you were to take my sticker price and everything at msrp my car is worth 50k, but I realize that resale of cars and parts does not work that way. I agree that this is rare and very nice, but I am having a hard time seeing where the 18 comes into play. I think he is probably a reasonable guy, so I will discuss it with him as well, but I wanted to get some backbone on this. I dont wanna low ball him, and I dont want to be low balled. Thats all.
