How much do you think I could sell my Evo for? Lots of bolt-ons..

Just trying to get an idea of how much I could get for my EVO... I saw some IX's on autotrader.com for over 33K with way more miles than mine, less money invested (or thrown away I should say ) in parts...

That is a very nice car but just remember that mods do not add value to the car. If you want to get the most out of your car you should part it out. I would keep it though. You would regret selling the car once it was gone.

As the poster above me said, if you want to see a partial return on your mods parting out is your best bet.

x2...

Remember only because you see cars for sale for 30+k doesn't mean they sell for that price, the car is not worth over 30K.

You may be able to find someone willing to pay extra cash for the parts, but than again you may not.

Gluck

What are you buying that will meet or exceed the Evo bang for the buck? Curious as to why so many people sell them... is there something I am missing? All that work and modding and now you want to sell it? Why?


I would offer you 28k

I also heard that you get the most money when you sell your car stock...But I would keep your car. Don't sell it. It looks SUPERB! Your mods are a sign of your great effort and passion. Your car is very nice, and I wouldn't think of giving it up if I were you.

Thanks
I was tossing around the idea seeing how much some IX's are selling (or at least for sale) for.... but with the amount of money I have spent and not being able to recoup much, if any of it I doubt I will... I dont think there really is any car besides the Evo I could enjoy for this amount of money... It just seemed like some of the ones I saw listed were selling for more than what they cost new Guess thats not the case!

also- to answer the question about the speed limiter being removed that was part of my reflash

I'd say you would be lucky to get 29K for it unfortuantly.. Put it back to stock and sell off the parts if you really need to get rid of it.

Yeah, I think you are right- fortunately I don't actually need to sell it right now... 29 would be pretty good though for stock considering what they cost brand new! I'm surprised how well Evos hold their value!!
