Are those pictures before coilovers? Lower it another 2-3 inches and it'll look more aggressive (which will help with selling it). And honestly I think you'd be lucky to get over 6,000 just because it is a high mileage zenki. I paid 5500 for my old 95 with a 96 KA-T in it (it had a 5000 dollar turbo kit on it) and the motor only had 60,000 miles on it, and the body was 90% perfect. I couldn't sell it for 7k when it had OEM aero, KA-T, Coilovers, Q45 brakes, 2-way, and all it needed to run properly was a 40 dollar fuel pressure gauge (I had put over 4500 in it since I bought it).

However, if you were to offer it up on Zilvia.net or something, you could probably get 6500-7000 just because in SOCAL people are wrecking these things left and right and they don't get good prices on them. You'd have to ship though.


Basically you aren't going to make money off of your 240 unless A - It's a Kouki that is barely/unmolested or B - you paid like 2k for it.

And yes putting a SR in it will raise the value considerably...about the 2-2.5K it costs to put one in and replace all the important things to do the swap right. Turning 5-6000 to 7500-8500.

Remembr any time you modify your car in the "regular" market, the value goes down no matter how much you put into it in performance parts. Most regular people don't want a tuned car. So I would try to sell to a car guy who is into cars like us, thats most likely the best bet to get the most $$ for your car. Beautiful car by the way.

IMO 6k is pretty damn good for anything with a quarter million miles

yeah I need to lower it but I hate buying tires from camber wear you can only do so much with the camber when you have stock fenders. we did a lil roll of the lip that goes striate out in the rear but a 265 is kinda wide. plus i like being able to get over speed bumps

as far as the paint job goes the car is painted allot better than most cars I see around. the jams are painted, under the hood and under the trunk. we took the bumper ,hood trunk lid, mirrors, handles and gas lid off and painted it all separate to give a smooth paint curve around the edges. I did not take out all the interior to paint where you cant see. that would not make much since to me. far as the engine bay goes the top half is painted. I didn’t want to pull the motor. I have plans to get it painted when I swap it. that is if I don't sell it.

Yeah, what he said. I sold him the car and everything he said is true. I started off with a price of around 8K, I don't remember. Either way I sold him a KA-T with a low mileage/tranny/turbo kit for $5500. I say you'd get $4500 unless sellin in somewhere like Cali as said.
