The what's my car worth thread.

[Burntaudi]

I want to sell my car. I know it's not the greatest time to sell a car. But I want to make a change.

Here's a link to the craigslist add.

Seems like a fair price to me.

[bronz]

i say price is too low for the mods you have plus two sets of aftermarket wheels. ill give you 500$ for superleggeras
btw how do you like the raybestos pads, lots of dust?

I like them. Their quiet and not too dirty.

I don't think you'd have a problem selling that car at all, but thats subject to where you live. I'd be interested in the car at that price if I was on the market. Of course I'd try to haggle, but I couldn't have priced it better myself. Great price for an enthusiast (assuming no major mechanical problems) and a good price to get the non-enthusiasts interested also, imo.

Good luck.

1 G under retail for your area. Great price with those mods. Good ad too B.

[willowtreexx]

man if you want to sell in a hurry you'll get it! I also say youre asking too low for all the nice mods you have done to the car. Awesome color and they are not shitty mods either.

[andyrew]

I agree, very low price you have there for the mods and money you have into that car...

Bring up your price and give yourself a month rather than 2 days to sell it.. You'll get an extra 1k or more...

I would try it at 10k and take 9k in the first week, 8.5k in the second, and your asking price after that..

[dingguhlbary]

i second that^^^^
i saw the price and was thinking, its gonna be garbage
but you have way too many nice mods to be asking for that. even if you ask for a little more, i think it'll be fair

[audiness]

how do you like the JHM shifter?

[Burntaudi]

how do you like the JHM shifter?

Love it. Best shifter made for the B5.

[andyrew]

Why dont you part it out a little, and then sell it?

You'll get way more money...

agreed...may take a lil more time but i'm sure you'll get your money's worth.

[Burntaudi]

Don't want the hassle. Even if I get less money. Besides I love the car the way it is. And I would prefer to pass it on to someone that can appreciate it the way it is.

[andyrew]

Then raise your price!!

You selling your car at that price would lower the value of our cars! (even just a small bit..)

Your car is WORTH 10k in my book! I for one would buy it if thats what I was looking for.

[andyrew]

Let me go through and write the resale value fo those parts...
KO4 kit, complete 1500-2k
EVO intake, 100
2.5" exhaust 400
EVOMS FMIC 450

Autospeed DTS 100
JHM Shifter w/ links 350
SB Clutch 250

Knoi Coil overs 500
29mm F SB 100
19mm R SB 100
Racetec strut brace 100

Ecodes 250
RS4 Grill 75
17 Superellegras w/ F1's 750
17" Borbettes w/ winters 500

A8 brake kit 400

Alpine CD 100
Audi all weather mats 75
3 spoke wheel w/ airbag 225


That totals to..

6250 on the low side of todays classifieds.

Im crying over here..

[Dlay]

With the new turbo and your cars already low mileage and other mods its worth much more then 7900. If it were me I wouldn't let it go for under 9K. Good luck with the sell though, what are you planning on getting?

[Ewok_Fetus]

Mods don't increase the value of a car... Bank will only finance the value of the car even if you have $100,000 into it... If the car is worth $7k, that is what it is worth... If that is exactly what someone is looking for, however, and they have the cash, then I am sure someone will take it...

[Nebone]

That car is a steal even tho its 11 years old. It HAS a new motor pretty much and all these great mods. I'd part it out and request stock parts in exhange to get it more to a stock condition.

[suju82]

how much did the crate motor cost you?

[UN-PIMP-Z-A4]

I'm selling my stage three 98 for less than that and I dont even have one bite...
my car needs detailing though.

[Burntaudi]

how much did the crate motor cost you?

Around $6,200. I didn't pay for it though. The shop that screwed up the old motor... their insurance paid for it.

[willowtreexx]

haha dude if youre going to keep the price at that, i might just go ahead and buy it!!

[m5racer]

that has low k since u got a new engine, i would defienalty sell it for more, hell even the body only has 75mi on it. Defienatly jack the price up at least another 1g

agreed . plus its a 11yr old car, so sorry its not worth 10g's

the price is right

[Audimarc]

$5

[loustylez]

money is money. i sold my 2001 A4 2.8 sedan with bilstein pss9's, stock wheels, painted black top and magnaflow for $6500, with 136k miles. you're in the ballpark for sure. these days, i'd be happy to sell it for that price in less than a week and be done with it.
