parting it out will probably yield much more money, however, it’s a PITA ---

yea, i really dont want to part it out since it has a full standalone and the AC has been pulled from it, it wouldnt sell well to a non enthusiast i would like about 10-12k from the car ---

you need some impressive dyno numbers to get that kinda money, at this point you’ll get more for the A4 X… ---

Unfortunately I think 10-12 is a little optimistic. Throw it up on ebay and some Tiburon forums for 10 and see what happens. Worst thing that happens is you have to lower the price some. ---

Post it with the 500whp dyno graph and hope for the best. Ebay is probably your best bet. ---

I got 6300 for my 2000 eclipse with 67K when i traded it in. it sucked. but you will probably get around the same. ---

> [@Viper966](#): > > it wouldnt sell well to a non enthusiast not all enthusiasts are created equal. i sold a cav to an enthusiast who happened to be the brother of the wifes friend … then he took it to the trans shop, they said it was $15, then $500 and special order parts etc… then the dad calls me and says the clutch is shot, the battery is shot, it needs trans work and dealer only parts… end of the story is i gave them $300 to save a friendship and avoid the hassle. (I offered a 100% refund BEFORE it went to the shop…) :-/ ---

You’re going to get fucked trying to sell it to the general public. Nobody is going to want an old Korean car that some ricer put a turbo on. Not saying that’s what it is, just how the general public would view it. Niche market and find the right buyer or part it out. ---

This is kinda like my Galant, but not really. Low number available, something totally different, worth shittons more than the Blue book value. ---

Ebay it and maybe you’ll get 7k maybe a little more. Mods almost rarely ever add to the value of the car. ---

Ask ten, see if you get any interest from the tib guys You have to get it all back together and take some good pics Definately have to get a dyno sheet if your claiming 500 wheel. With a 500 wheel dyno it will sell so much faster. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fair-market-value-of-my-car/18911.md?page=2)
