Default What's my car worth?

Thinking about selling my 93 sc300 and need an idea of what it's worth. The paint is about 8/10. Interior is about 7/10.

Here are some mods:
IJZ head, 2JZ block
Rebuilt w58 trans
T67 size single turbo
Custom intercooler and pipes
Custom 3" downpipe to
Blitz exhaust
Tial waste gate
Greedy bov
Rps clutch

97 bumper and sides
19 x 9.5 work meister
Tein coil overs
Safc
Greddy boost controller
Cusco roll cage
Kaaz LSD

I'm sure I'm missing a few things but I'm not sure what I should ask for it!

That one is too nice to sell. I'd hold on to it.

97-SC300, He's right, that is too nice to sell. Plus you may not get what you think it's worth? Speaking of which, how much you think your car is worth? Worst case scenario if you decide to sell...throw up a price, and be prepared to negotiate-keep in mind the lowest you'll take for it. If no serious offers, pull out and continue the modding! In all honesty, I'd vote to keep it! Just my 2 cents tho.

It will be worth more if you post more pictures of it. Lol

I believe there was a thread a few weeks ago that was closed due to the same title.

It is a very gorgeous car. I would also keep it man.

whats it worth and how much will it sell for are two different things. It will probably sell for 7-8.5k, but its probably worth more than that. Gotta see the interior though!

Sight unseen, I'd say anywhere from 4- 14k lol.

Really we need some more pictures to judge its condition. Also if the motor, turbo swap, and wiring look like a total hack job its obviously worth A LOT less. Just for comparision, I bought a stock as a rock 1992 SC300/5 speed, pearl white, 60k miles on it for $8900. About the worst thing I can say about it is the one scuff on the pass front wheel and a SINGLE door ding, other than that it looks factory fresh.

Your SC looks just like mine except I had SSR's. I think you could get $10,000 easily. If the engine work was done properly and it runs good, you could go for $13,000 or so.

One thing that I've noticed with highly modified cars for sale, is that if you are 110% honest with the buyer, and give a VERY detailed review of the car...what's done to it, what's wrong with it...the buyer will be more likely to accept a slightly higher price because they will be certain of what they are buying. Even pointing out the smallest little scuff, or ding, will show that buyer that you're being completely honest with them. When a potential buyer hears this, they get comfort in that and build trust with you.

Op sounds like you've got good feedback and this thread feels a little like a classified ad so
