You might want to list what year your GS is... That's very important in determining value.

Might also want to list current RWHP, RWTQ from your $1500 in dyno tuning, as well as 1/4 mile times (post SC-install runs).

================================================

Let's please keep responses this post focused on Roenick's question - value of his GS as-is - and not a want-to-buy or want-to-sell thread please.

umm.... it will be really hard to sell your car with the mods, you won't get close to what you expect. basically people just care about the car, you end up giving away the mods. better just stripe them off and sell the parts separately

rwhp =370 w/o NOS
1/4mile = 13.40 w/o NOS

Thinking of 4000.00-6000.00 above blue book

Roenick7,

What was the total end cost for the RMM SC? I remember you added quite a bit of material and labor after the initial install due to poor performance/low boost.

9500.00 included installation
+ gauges boost /oil press...EGT's 1300.00 Apexi (could get lower $ gauges) not installed
+fuel management 500.00
+ pulleys 4 x 65.00=260.00
+ belts 6 x 10.00=60.00
+ dyno/tune 400.00
+ blow-off valve & installation 400.00
+ time sweet time to take off my bumber and check for leaks, install the blow-off correctly, change pulley every time (need impact) calling--- vortech;area 51; under pressure; RMM... 0.00 {80 hours}

$12,420.00

Take your mods apart and sell them separately. Many car owners including myself don't know much about repairing a turbo or supercharger... unless all the mods are installed by a Lexus dealership and that dealership will provide service and repair of this vehicle if necessary.

jeffandi

Damn dude, after all that you want to sell it?

I hope you read the guys at RMM and URPD the riot act. For $9500 the damn thing should work!

Good luck man. There really isn't a market for performance GS cars. Everyone wants the power, noone wants to pay the price (or have the worries).

You'll be very lucky if you find someone who actually values your ride.

If you feel it is warranted, I would advise you to place a color ad in the Dupont Registry. Lots of high end exotics, collectibles & such in that magazine.

Be prepared to field a lot of technical questions about the modifications perfomed & your reasons for selling it.

Hope this helps.

I'll give you fi dolla....................

Wait, what are we bidding on????

Just playing. Trying in vain to insert a little humor since most are bursting your bubble. Unfortunately, the very first rule of economics is at play here....anything is only worth what someone is willing and able to pay. Unless the person that buys knows the kind of time, money, and effort it took to mod your ride to the extent that it is AND THEN be willing to pay something reasonable for it.....it's going to be an uphill battle to get too much over book value. Sorry.
