Today i'm up here to need helps from you guys on selling of my F, i know it is sad to say that but i have to let her go b/c i really do not have time to drive her , i only drive the F in summer but not much sometime in weekend so the car is right now in excellent condition.
Mine is 08, MM color, 9,500 miles with some mods that i've already put on the F is :
- Swift spring only the front with SPC ball joints
- rear sikky sway bar
- HPS intake tube
- Wearever brake pads
- window tinted
- clear bra on the entire hood, front bumper, mirrors, door edgeds
- CF10 forgestar wheels 19x9 ( hankook evo v12 255/35 front), 19x11 ( the same hankook 275/35 rear ).
With that info i really need helps from members here to let me know how much my F value for the right price to sell. I still keep all stock parts even wheels and tires so when the F go i want everything go with the car.
Please give me some ideas. Thanks everybody !

 

First off, to get better value, I'd put the stock wheels and tires on right away, put the stock intake back on and remove the Sikky sway bar. Those are super easy to do and you will get more money by selling that stuff separately. You won't get any extra money for it by leaving it on the car. The springs and ball joints you may just want to leave on the car and then give the new owner the OEM springs in case he/she wants them. Obviously the tint and clear bra stays.

People are going to be looking for a car with under 10K miles on it no matter what year it is. That's a great find for most people, and should command a good price. I'd probably list it for $45K and accept anything north of $42K for the car. At much over $45K, people will just look for newer cars even with slightly higher mileage. But I do think you can get around $42K for the car on the private market in its stock form, and maybe another couple grand for your mods.

 

Ins not worth anything. I'll trade you my car and 200 bucks. That's the best deal your going to find. Your car is an 08 and it's old and junky hahahahaah just kidding man. If you really want to move it I would say price is firmly at 40k so listing should be around 42 ish? That's what comparable mileage ones around me( New Orleans, Houston area) are fetching. Best bang for your buck. Autotrader!

 

40k minimum!!! Shoot for 45!!!

 

Kbb values the car at 42-43k private party and around 40k dealer trade in. Put it back to stock and get the money for the mods separately. As everyone says mods don't add value unless its a show car or something

 

^^ What he said...

Although <10k miles is an anomaly so that's a valuable arrow in your quiver...

 

Thanks for all replies , very helpful.

 

Being that it's an '08, less than 10k miles, and in proper form, it should sell quickly. That being said, I'd hold off on any offers about 40-42k and below. It's rare to see one with such low mileage, and I know some people who've been looking for just that. Yes, the newer models have all the revisions and upgrades, but to find something this low in miles will definitely be sought after. Best of luck!

edit: there's an auction on eBay currently for a 2008 USB IS F with 4680 miles on it for $43k, which I think is about right, presuming there are no accidents or work on the car. Here's the link:
