My friend is lookin at a 95 GS-R. It has 100k miles on it and the blue book is like 8k, but it has a wings west front bumper, intake, exhaust, and headers along w/ 17's, and a 12" sub w/ cd player and such. I think that 10 is a little on the high side but what do you guys think?

 

I wouldnt pay 10k for that

 

$8k-$9 sounds more realistic. Plus, I wouldn't buy a fix up car. I rather have them stock and fix it up myself.

 

I payed $10500 for my 96 w/ 82k miles last summer. Of course it only had an AEM CAI, 17's, and lowered. But all that other stuff listed on yours doesn't make up for the $2000 you are going to over pay.

 

I paid $10500 for my 98 GS-R w/ I/H/E and 77K. $10k for that car is ridiculous.

 

i'd say 8k would be a good deal

 

yeah, im the one looking to purchase the gs-r. its a really clean car but bluebook is only around 8k. i know the guy has some mods and alot of extras to his car but i am thinking offer him about $8 and go no higher than $9-9.5. is that reasonable?

 

Offer him the blue book. This guy cant be expecting to get his money back from the mods he made. Theyre just bolt-ons.

Yeah I'd tell him $8-8.5

 

aigth thanx guys we are going to look at it on Wed and offering blue book and no higher than 9k.

 

yeah the only reason to hook up a car is to make it your own statement. you dont wana be driving around someone else's thesis so to speak

 

I dont think it will lower the value, but if he tells you "Well it's worth 10 because it has this and this and this.." tell him blow it out his ***, that dont raise the price. I unfortunatly learned this stuff the hard way, but thats what it takes sometimes. I just dont want someone else to make the same mistake I made. Don't pay more than you have to!

 

8k only!

 

arent tegs real common in Ca. they go alot higher here than i see em go for in cali. seriously buying a fix up car is ok if theres alot of expensive stuff put into it but the goal is to fix up a car the way you like it, not to buy what someone else likes. if this car had say an itr tranny with a kaaz lsd and some toda cams or somthin then it might be worth it.

 

Yamzz that is bank bro! You never get back what you put in..... fix a stock car up, way more fun!

 

Either buy a stocker or pay like $500 UNDER blue book for that GSR...

 

well i ended up looking at the gs-r tonight, it ran good, i got everything checked by a local mechanic i know and he said everything checked out. i ended up paying 8

 

I pulled my 94 gsr with 106k for $6800 and it even came with a yakima ski rack and a set of snow tires...
