what do you guys think i could get?
my 86 44 with the nice interior with a newly rebuilt 86 turbo motor, turbo suspension, weltmiester sways front and 19mm 968 M030 rear, koni yellow sport all around with only 500 miles, boost and water temp gauges, greddy elec boost controller, turbo has only 30k on it, bottom end of motor only 60k(forged rods) pistons had work on them too but left the rods alone because the motor is an 86, vented nose panel new yokohama tires bought about 3 months ago, with about 500 miles on them along with everything that was rebuilt. That includes all maintenance, like belts and clutch. the outside of the car would be like a 7, it is driven in new england and has the a couple scratches here and there, the interior is really good no cracks in dash or anything, gauge pod fits nicely, it has a cd player. the driver seat does have a big rip in it. i also have a black interior that i will let go with the car...
you may ask why i want to sell it after all that work...but its kind of the work that was fun and planning and all that stuff. Now its just fast....i mean i cant keep the yokohamas from spinning in first, 2nd and prolly 3rd if i put the boost up. I am only running like 10 lbs right now and even that is too much because it just spins any time i floor it. ofcourse you can regulate the boost and oh yea it also has a widefire headgasket so no worried about running more boost, especially with the forged rods and all, the motor is tight and will hold it. Kinda want to get another project car but dont get me wrong, i love the car so i will only try to sell it if i can get enough cash for it. thats why i'm posting this, what you guys think?

haha been there done that, it'd be too easy the 2nd time, i am looking for something older to work on. Like a volvo 1800e or whatever, i kinda wanna get one of those, looks like an old bond car. If i could afford it i'd get an old aston or something that would be sick. Prolly hard to work on though huh?

It's hard to price a car with a lot of modifications. It scares some buyers off. Lots of them prefer a solid stock car. If you have good interior parts you may want to install them first. It could make it an easier sell.
Off the top of my head without seeing the car I'd say price it at $10K and go from there.

the thing is that the motor is basically stock. I am one of those buyers that gets scared away by mods, thats why i didn't do any on this motor, its a stock turbo, stock computers chips, everything, just a better headgasket, which isn't a mod, and just a cone filter to save space, which is not a mod either.
i have a full black interior, cept the seats and the under dash part, the interior in the car now is tan, and in pretty good shape, so to change it youd just need to get doorpanels, seats and under dash parts.

yup, it doesn't have 951 brakes, i will prolly do something with the brakes eventually but like i said in my other post, i never track the car as of yet, so...i drive the same speed as i would with the old motor so the brakes are fine for me, i just get to that speed a lot quicker.
