This car has been repainted the factory color and they did a “very good job” (as my body shop told me). Was done by 2nd owner (I am the 4th) and the person I bought it from had no record.

Car is an unbelievable driver and with all the suspension components replaced, it rides better than new. Leaks zero oil and also burns zero oil. I have never had to top it off in between the 3 oil changes I have done.

Stereo was redone by previous owner and features alpine headunit, focal speakers, jl audio subs (which I upgraded from 8” to 10”), and an amp which the name is escaping me. Really sounds great but I am too enthralled by the exhaust notes so it stays off most of the time.

I was in a minor front end accident with the car at 15 mph in the rain. A guy cut in front of me so I slammed the brakes, they locked up, and I slid slowly into his rear bumper. The front left fender was replaced (OEM), headlight, and front bumper. Honestly I must have been going 5 mph when I hit him but the muffler tip on his truck punctured the headlight and bent part of the fender (my body shop said they could have bondo’d the fender but I choose to let insurance cover the cost of a $1600 oem fender, and $1500 front bumper). This is when I added all the RS stuff and did the bumperettes. The carfax shows the police report number indicating it was in an accident. Other than that the carfax is clean.

Anyways I have been throwing the idea around of possibly letting this car go to get into more of a daily driver that I don’t obsess over where I park, or if someone cuts in front of me. I really wanted to get your input of what the value would be. Any input is appreciated. Thank you guys, as always.

Pictures were taken yesterday at around 6:30 so the color is darker than it would be in direct sunlight:

Nice. GLIYS (good luck if you sell). I did not realize an OEM windshield is $2K. Wow, I guess I'll continue to live with my few pits/chips.

Quadcammer

full rebuild for $6,500?

I'd value right around $30k.

I think any interested buyer would want details on this rebuild. Was stock valve guides reused or updated valve guides used in the rebuild? Perhaps not quite $30K without clarification.

I have the receipt and will check.

Nice car! Last time I checked OEM windshield was in the $1300 range for the glass only. So $2K for everything while pricey is not out of the question.

ECS Tuning

I really like that color Good luck with sale, hopefully a rennlister snags it.

Your car has an amazing and desirable list of mods/upgrades. Definately get more specific on the rebuild as $6500 sounds real low to have done much, but if well done will help offset the #1 reservation people will have with the car which is the miles. Fair or not cars with that mileage have a real hard time breaking $30k. I think it's silly but that's people's behavior.

I think you would actually do better to take it back closer to stock, sell $10k worth of parts on here, sell the car for $28k and net $38k. As is I think you could get $30k as is but your giving the mods away and it would take the right buyer.

GLWS, it's a great car!

That car has a beautiful stance from the 3/4 rear. I'd say low $30K's is the top end for the car. Mileage is high but some decent work has been put into it. Good luck with the sale.
