i think you're asking a good price. it takes time to sell Rs though. unless it's stock and pristine, i say just wait for the right price + buye.r

 

I think you should post some pictures with the stock wheels. That may help.

Camera broke

 

I think when you mention bodywork it scares people away. I think you are asking about the right price. Maybe take some offers and see what happens. Also, where have you listed it for sale? I would put it on Autotrader, ITRCA.com, and Mautofied.com. You will reach a much bigger audience. Good luck with the sale.

 

It's not that bad, not a big fan of the wheels, so I for one... wouldn't be too interested in your car if I was to first look at it

 

i wish i could get a current pic because the stockies are on it now.

 

Nobody wants to buy a car that needs work (particularly bodywork). Fix any outstanding issues and selling should be easier.

EBay is a terrible place to sell a car - prices are well under market there.

 

Here's the million dollar advice (you can pay me whenever you'd like)

PUT IT BACK TO STOCK!!!!

I got 18k for my 00' PY bone stock, also you're killing yourself trying to sell w/ those red wheels(even though they're not on it now, many will see them and instantly turn away w/o reading the descrip), cheapens the car IMHO

GL

 

i agree with other guys with the red wheels. put up some new pics with stock wheels and just be patient. you'll find the right buyer in time. good luck!

 

I agree with everything everyone else has already said in this topic. EVERYTHING.

It's not clear how much body work is needed. As already mentioned, consider getting it done before selling. Also you mention dings; if they're bad, consider getting a PDR (paintless dent repair) specialist to do your car. PDR work is inexpensive.

Take the photos with the stockers. Borrow a digital camera from a friend if you have to.

Your price is fair. Don't expect to get it on eBay.

 

great price as far as i'm concerned... take off the stickers, put the stock wheels back on

 

yup, great deal, horrible pictures... get the body work done

 

Actually a dealer in orlando sold my buddy's R for fourteen. He traded it for an evo MR, he got 12k for it. You will probably have to hold it for a while at that price. It was 2000, black and had 50k on it. It was never wrecked and had the oe engine. But nothing was stock about the engine.

And there's your answer my friend. If someone is going to take the risk of buying a modded vehicle, there's going to be an incentive, in this case it's the lowered price. A stock R will bring a higher price than an R w/ 10k in mods 99% of the time.

It comes down to this, you can be lazy and sell it as is, and take the hit in the wallet. OR, you can take a little time and money, fix it up, and put an extra $3k in your pocket. What's your time worth to you? Good luck

also, with zero feedback, don't expect to sell from eBay with high price. if you want to relist on eBay...you might want to consider asking a friend who has high feedback scores to sell for you.

 

The impression I've gotten from reviewing eBay sales is that cars don't sell for as much on eBay as they do elsewhere. I think maybe there's a perceived risk factor in committing to buy a car sight unseen. Plus we know that there are scammers on eBay.

 

I think it's a very fair price. The new transmission and 2 sets of wheels is a good selling point. However, the less a potential buyer has to repair on a car, the more motivated they will be to buy.

Like nsxtacy said, i would look into having the dents removed with paintless dent removal. Why exactly does the rear bumper need to be replaced?

 

Yup, thats the market for R's now.
To all those people on HT who think their car is worth more then it actually is Ask yourself If you would pay $16k for an R with 50-60k miles thats 6-7 years old. I bet you 99% wouldn't.

 

looks like a good price to me.....but HT is full of lowballers. good luck with the sale.

That is true. I'd possibly consider paying that much only if the car had never been modified. Why did you need a new transmission after only 72000 miles? That is saying that the car was abused.

To all those who know how much their car really is worth,

If that's how you're looking at market values, then you don't understand how the market works. Here's an example to illustrate why. I don't want an S2000. (The S2000 is a nice car and I'm not dissing the S2000 in any way by using it in this example; I just don't want a convertible.) I wouldn't pay $30K+ for a new one, and I wouldn't pay $20K or even $10K for a used one. That doesn't mean it's not worth that much; that just means that I'm not willing to pay a fair market value for one.

Here's how I define market value: It's the price at which, with a reasonable amount of looking around, a car (or one similar) can be bought or sold within four to eight weeks, give or take a little bit. For example, if a 2001 ITR with ~80K miles in okay condition is worth $14,500, that means that (a) if you're selling one and you post it for sale on h-t and autotrader and cars.com with an asking price of $15,500 obo (leaving yourself some room to bargain downward), you should be able to get $14,500 for it within a month or two, and (b) if you're buying one and you're looking for a car fitting that description, and you look on h-t and autotrader and cars.com, you should be able to get one for $14,500 within a month or two. It has nothing to do with how much YOU or I might pay for it; it has to do with the likelihood of finding SOMEONE who is willing to pay that much for it (if you're a seller) and the likelihood of finding a car for that price (if you're a buyer).

If i had the money to do it I would. cash flow is one of the reasons i need to sell

 

There's an *** for every seat - you just have to find it.

 

like said alot, you just gotta wait it out for the right buyer...
