Default Estimations on my car!

I want to get a prelude so im thinkin of just selling my accord. How much do you think I should ask for a..

2000 Honda Accord 4D LX with 80,000 miles.

Headers, Full Catback Exhaust, AEM CAI, racing hart 17 inch rims.
There is a couple of nicks and scratches on the body, the interior is excellent, no cigerette burns, smells good, no rips or worn spots.

Please ask me some more questions about the car so I can give you a better description.

Thanks

EDIT: Once I get home today, ill get some pictures up... The link in my signature is down right now.

I would say get the kellys blue book value on your car for excellent condition and ask that price firm.

I wouldnt. Apparently you dont buy used cars much.

The KBB is a guide, and most people sell under that level. Especially in your case, with a base model accord with modifications. Modifications drop it in value.

I have a 2000 accord SE modified with 38k and i'm hoping to get 9k for it optimistically.

Most 6 gens are selling for between 5-10k, i'd say yours is around 8k

Actually ive bought two used cars in about 2 years. I buy stock cars and mod them myself. I was saying stay on the blue book value bc he has some expensive rims on the car. Otherwise take of the racing hearts and put back stock rims then sell below kbbv.

YEa, back to stock would be your best bet, to retain value on your car. Your car would be worth more + you cna sell the aftermarket parts

plus you could always reuse the rims or sell them with the rest of the aftermarket stuff

im not too sure about mods dropping the value of your car.. BUT

its best to return the car back to stock as much as possible, it makes your car EASIER to sell. also, when u part out your mods, you get a MUCH higher return on them. otherwise, if u dont wanna deal with it, you're not gonna get much more for your car just because its got a few mods

You usually LOSE money with a modified car. If its a 5k car with 10k in mods, its still a 5k car and you cant expect to profit off of the car.

People expect the cars to be beat on hard if theyre modified, and the people that want just a standard car doesnt want all the modifications.

check out the nada.com values.

lose the mods; it decreases the % of ppl willing to buy the car. Sell em' on the side.
