First off, I apologize for posting this in the topics session, but I'm not familiar with the site just yet and I figured someone would be kind enough to provide some advice...
I have a 2000 Phoenix Yellow ITR with a 98 JDM B18C motor swap (original C5 blew up). The motor has around 65-75k miles with intake, header, exhaust, clutch, flywheel, NGK plugs/wires, high flow cat, and a tuned ECU. The motor itself is in excellent mechanical condition. However, the transmission's third gear just went out. The car is still driveable, but only in 1,2,4,5 and reverse (what wonderful timing). The carbon fiber hood is faded and needs a new clearcoat, the struts in the front AND rear are going bad, and the car has no AC or power steering; the bearings in the power steering pump went out and the pivot pulley on the AC came loose (I have the compressor on hand and it's fine). The interior is in perfect condition, and the paint is an 8-9/10.

Having stated this information, I'm looking to find a true/somewhat accurate value of the vehicle in its current state. I'm also curious to know if fixing the transmission would allow me to profit more from the sale, or if I'd be wasting my time/losing money in the long run...

Once again, my apologies for posting about this topic in the forum, but KBB doesn't exactly allow you to list the vehicle's exact problems. ANY advice on value/ steps to be taken toward a sale/ considerations, etc. would be extremely helpful. I paid 11 for the car 16 months ago (when it's suggested value was 12,200), and as much as I've tried to maintain it, it's caused me quite a few problems (which obviously makes me SICK).

Thanks for anything yall have to offer.

 

What the heck did you do to that thing to cause so many problems?

 

Took care of it (and that's God's honest truth). Like I said, my luck sucked with this car from day one. The motor blew up 412 miles on the way home (INTERSTATE DRIVE!!!). I'm basically sick of investing in something that consistently has a problem. That's why I'm sellin it. I'm not positive, but the previous owner most likely dicked around when it came to upkeep; now, IM the one dealing with the problems. Every bit of work I've done (long block swap, suspension, interior) has held up very well. However, the tranny was swapped over from the original motor (big surprise) and now it's my major concern.

 

Wow I thought I was going through hell, poor itr.

 

sell it for 10k as long as everything is in good condition. type r shells are hard to come by. or you can just trade with someone on this site. post pics in the for sale section and let people know what you wanna trade for. you should get a ton of respones.

 

you should get 4,200 out of it.. easy money.
