I am considering, very slightly, about selling my car to get a new GS400 (it would epend on how much I could get for my car). I am only trying to get an idea right now of how much I might be able to get. Send me a pm and let me know what you think. Thanks :eek:

How fast is your car???

QM/0-60...

Tell us alittle bit about it!!!! Like how many miles, good tires, stuff like that and we will try to help!!

Well, by your sig, it appear that you have a fully modded up 1st gen G3. Way fast with that turbo and tons of nice equipment to boot!!

NOT trying to be negative.....but,

Unfortunately, I think unless you find the "right" buyer, who is dreaming of building a car just like yours, you could have a hard time selling you car and getting what you think is a fair price, also unless the buyer has cash or is a member of a credit union, finding a loan for a car over 5 yrs old could prove challenging.

For the record, I just sold my '93 G3 last month for $14500.00. And it was way, way clean(detailed engine & chassis). Low miles(80k), perfect interior-yes, really. LS400 wheels, 40%tint, K&N, Sony 10 stack/CD, NEW tires, full dealer service history & reciepts, NO dings, dents or accidents...garage kept So. Cal car, way clean, and stock.

And it was a Bit#h to get what I was asking. I could barely get anyone to look at it, except for the greasers who wanted to give me $8-9k for it. Private party low blue book was $12.5k.

After 6 wks A nice lady from Seattle called and offered me my asking price, said it was exactly the car she was looking for and it was a done deal.

I really felt like the new 2nd gen GS series pulled the resale right out from under the 1st gen GS's. No harm no foul, heck, I got a G4 now and LOVE IT!

Good luck!!

ocnbrzz, thanks alot for all the input. You make several very good points (not good for me but very true). I appreciate the honesty.

It is set up right now as a daily driver, but it can run 12 sec 1/4 mile when it is set up for racing.

Well, lets here some more peformance numbers or more of what this baby has if you want a price... btw, most buyers of the first gen gs seem to be older people, so im not so sure if older people would want such a car... but its really nice.

I think there is more, but I forget.

Engine completely hauled over at about 90k miles. Everything has been replaced and was replaced with upgraded performance parts (including entire engine, transmission and suspension, there is way too much too list). You name it, it has been done to it. Literally the ONLY thing that is stock on the car is the metal frame and the interior, that is about it.

Toog4me

sounds really nice... do you know how much hp it has???

mcnelson

375-400 horsepower or so???

Wow, why do you even want to sell such a machine?
It looks like you've put in so much work and love
into it. I think that most people out there who can
be considered potential buyers will not be able
to appreciate the beauty and capabilities of your car.
Unless you sell it to someone in CL, who will treasure
and cherish your creation, I don't think it's worth it.
Just my opinion.

Are you kidding? I'd just keep that car! That's a killer setup! The only thing I'd work on is the aesthetics...I like the Junction-Produce kit for the JZS-147's...or the Quest Power kit...

mcnelson

Tell me more about it. Pirce, website, info, benefits of it, etc etc. Suggestions?

Jmai22

honestly, i wouldn't expect more than 16,000 for that car. personally i wouldn't buy that car for 1 reason. most people see a fixed up car as beeing driven hard. there is no way that a person puts all these engine mods in it and never pushed the car to its limit. good luck trying to sell it. i also have a black first generation GS. anything you wanna sell on there to me??

Manaray

Here's the Junction Produce Kit...VERY JDM YAKUZA VIP style...LOVE IT!




Here's the Quest Power Kit...also very nice...
