Default What is my car worth?

Hello everyone, it's been a while since i wrote here.
I was wondering whether someone could give me some what accurate info on my car's
value if i was to sell it to someone.

It's 1997 es300, 101000 miles w/ H&R springs, Tockico Shocks, and Painted mono Black.

Thank you

Why not isntead of asking us, ask people that actually set the price.

Go ask KBB.com

it was about $9600 by the kbb, but i don't think i can get that much cuz people usually
want to lower the price. Also haven't decided what to get yet.

How about conducting a nationwide search on cars.com for a 1997 ES ? This will give you an idea of what people are asking. I think you'll be surprised.

Max I would say 9500 considering the car is near flawless and is an examplatory vehicle.

I picked up 97 es3 for 8K last month with 74K but needed valve gasket replacement.

Just to give you an idea I got 16,500 for my 97 ES300 loaded with 49K last october when it was totalled I made out on the car in a sense but my stereo was ruined and wasnt covered

8k is low-balling, 9 is fair

That seems about right for a stock model.

But springs, shocks, and aftermarket paint?

It's gonna be a ***** selling a modified ES300. I strongly suggest parting the car out.

Good luck!!
