need help with price estimate for Box
I am entertaining selling my 2000 box and considering what price to expect considering the engine swap. I am the 2nd owner & bought in 2004 at 37k miles.
stats:
2000 Arctic Silver Box
Sport Design Package
Sport Seats
CD Changer
The storage box thing behind the roll bars
M490 Sound system
67,xxx miles
Mods:
swaped in 2001 carrera 3.4l motor at 53k miles. Motor had 31k miles
Revo custom software for ECU
Supersprint Boxster S headers/200cell cats
Instant G Muffler (it sounds like a cup car hehe)
M030 Sway bars
Factory 18" 5 spoke Lt Wts with correct Boxster offsets
AASCO Lt Wt fly added during engine swap with new clutch
Factory Xenons
Evosport Intake
Factory GT3 front bumper cover
Factory Boxster S brakes
Factory Carbon Fiber Interior (except steering wheel and Instrument surround)
It runs like a top and goes like a bat outta hell. Just passed Cali smog last week.
Exterior is in good condition except for some rock chips in hood. Car is garaged.
I need estimates for a reasonable asking price. I was thinking getting 30k would be the absolute max possible, getting 18~20k should be easy, and something in between probably reasonable.
I dont need to sell, but am testing the waters.
TIA

Around me, most 2000-2001 boxsters are asking $18-20. I would bet most final transactions for them to be in the $15-17K range. My 2000 sold last year for $16,5. Your 3.4 is a potential stubling block. It may take longer for the right buyer. For money/competition comparisons, 964s 993, and 996 are all available at the same $18-24k range.
You have a list of other mods/updates that could help you though. I would guess no more than $25k in this depressed market.

Don't expect to get the money you spent in mods back out at sale...If you can, get it back to stock if you still have the original parts, then sell upgraded parts separately..
Not the engine of course, but a lot of the other stuff..chalk the engine upgrade loss to fun factor enjoyment you had and don't look back..
