I checked the blue book for the value of a 97 Si, 71k miles on the clock and a navigation system, and it came out to be something like $8k. I kinda want to get an opinion from you guys - what would be a fair price for a stock 97 Si with the following changes:

* Avic N1 DVD/Nav system ($1400)
* Kenwood 5 channel amp ($230)
* 10 inch pioneer sub (traded with a friend) with pioneer 4 way speakers all round ($140)
* Auto dimming rear view mirror with temp sensor (~$230)
* Valentine V1 Radar detector (version 1.8 software) with concealed display ($400)
* Lowered with Tokico Illuminas (5 way adjustable - $300) and Skunk2 coilover springs (~$240 can't remember, they were new)
* original del Sol car cover from majestic ($120)
* Viper vx690 alarm with pager, audio sensor, backup battery and proximity sensor (~$500)
* 17" Motegi MR7 in gunmetal with toyo proxes4 (about 5k miles on tires, cost about $1000 total)
* brown ameripol roof ($200)
* power inverter (oh, some $30 or something)
* fully dynamatted, bumper to bumper including inside the doors, under the hood, full trunk, yada yada... ($270)
* whatever - I'll throw in my 15 gig iPod.

The car runs fine and it's in great condition, except for the usual broken ashtray and some cigarette burns in the seat from previous owner (I don't puff).

What do you think it should sell for?

 

Around what book values says. Most people really don't care about aftermarket stuff, unless you got all JDM stuff and happen to find a buyer who appreciates it.

 

Hmmm - interesting. I'll put it up for sale at $9k and see what happens.

 

Can we get some pics? And where did you get that ameripool clear top for $200?

 

i think delsols are gay...i wouldnt want that mexican ride if you PAID me to take it...

 

yea get some pics up...especially of that clear top!!

He doesn't do internet/mail-order sales, only local, so I can't buy from him anymore.

Useless to you now but for the future - If you want to get a good price for aftermarket equipment, keep your original components and put back on the car when you sell it - then put the aftermarket equipment up on eBay. You'd be surprised what people will pay for used equipment on there.

Though an alarm will get you a extra because insurance drops with one installed, most people find them useful (esp. if it unlocks the doors, remote starts, etc.).

 

Aite, I'll get some pics up tomorrow if it doesn't rain - it's 8:30pm now and the pics would suck. I got the ameripol used, so it was cheaper.
