Buying an Ultima GTR, need advice on selling evo

Well… I’m buying the only faster car I can find tomorrow. The Ultima GTR is honestly the only car I could find that would give me a substantial jump in performance. I’m not sure how to go about selling my Evo since I haven’t sold a modified car yet. Should I sell the evo here on EvoM or on Autotrader/Ebay? What method would get me the best return on the money spent? I feel that people like me would spend a little more to get a car that was modified as well as mine. Some help would be great, maybe one of you might be interested in my car ! My price as of now is $31,000 OBO

The Evo’s specs are as follows

2003 Black Evolution VIII
13,500 miles
Very good condition

Mods:

Suspension

Ohlins Coilovers
Works camber plates
Progress 25mm rear swaybar

Engine

HKS 272 cams
Hallman manual boost controller
Vishnu Xede (custom Tune by shiv) 333whp 306wtq
TurboXS turbo back exhaust (perrin test pipe)
Greddy type-s blow off valve

Other

Pioneer DVD/NAV
Sparco Harness bar (2, 4 point harnesses w/pads)
APR carbon fiber front splitter
18x5 black axis wheels

I'll be the first EvoM lowballer on here, I'll give you 23k By the way, that's not a real offer. Don't even worry about selling it on here. I wasn't joking about the price, though. On here or on autotrader, your mods are basically worthless. Unless your car has been in magazines or something, it's just another modded Evo. Yes, I know you spent a lot on it, but mods don't add resale value. Besides, that's like a new 05 or even a IX when it comes. And yes, I do realize you said OBO, just setting you up for disappointment, because setting the price high is no defense against lowballers.

I see your point, but if you go on Autotrader/Ebay.com you will see many 15,000+ mile evos going for $27,000 or more with more miles and less mods

In most cases selling a modified Evo is not a good idea. I would return the car as close to stock as possible and sell the performance parts.Then sell or trade in the Evo. Not trying to flame this post but how does the Ultima GTR give you a substantial jump in performance?

anyway good luck selling the Evo

What is an "Ultima GTR"? Did you mean Nissan Altima?

It has a few small (hard to see) spider cracks where the rods connect to the splitter. I think i paid $285. I would prob sell it for 100 bucks, but the shipping would be a major thing, so i dunno if it would be worth it.

Nice upgrade! Is it still sold as a kit car? If so what engine are you choosing?
