Hey all,

One thing I can count on in H-T is the FRANK and BLUNT honesty of everyone here. And the ability of everyone to have a "NO HOLDS BARRED" attitude when it comes to their opinion.

Well, I need that brutal honesty right now. I'm considering selling one of my pride and joys that I've had the pleasure of trouble free fun. Below is the break down, and links to pics. Some of you have seen this before, most not. Please let me know your opinions on 2 things:

1) How do you like the setup? Is it rather interesting or unique?

2) Is there a good possibility I could ask $24K for it, and negotiate from that point? Or keep it because it would be impossible to get a realistic price for what I put into it?

Thanks fellas(and ladies for those out there). Comments

Part it out

 

it's going to be tough to sell it for 24k, but good luck.

You might get around 10-15k for it.

 

the car looks nice, very clean, but its just hard to sell a car with all the stuff into it like that, anyone would agree on that i think.

 

i would never buy an already modified car. first of all you dont know how good of a job they did. second of all highly modified generally equals rapped very hard on a daily basis. Even if you dont fit into either category the buyer is going to think that you do.

Part the bitch out. there is no possible way you can get 24K for a 7 year old honda. With the car as is, no joke its worth about $10-12k.

 

24K = nope

 

cool. Keep it comin'

All these points are very valid.

 

Not a chance in hell. They could duplicate it for that.

 

i don't think so...i would part it out and try to sell the car as stock as possible.

 

to be truthful, i think you could get quite a bit more money outta the car and turbo setup if you actaully part it out, you know what i mean. hopefully you kept all the stock stuff so then you can part out the turbo setup and get most of your money back then sell the car stock and just add a little to the price and say it has xx pistons, xx rods, etc, etc.

 

i'd say keep it. you have a very nice car there.

 

THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE COMMENTS... I appreciate the feedback. Thanks again. I got a better feel for it. I'm going to keep it.
