and now on with the show.

Well guys hate to do it but im selling my 03 evo VIII. hopefully trading it in but its not looking good right now. Went to the dealership today and they offered me 12k!! It only has 51k miles on it and is really good shape. They ran a carfax on it and it has a very minor damage report(which is less then $1000 worth of damage) from the previous owner in the rear of the car. Thats the reason they said their not gonna give me anything for it. But the car is flawless cant tell it was ever in a fender bender. what do you guys think about a value on this????

 

16-18k private sale

 

i got offered 12 at the dealer as a trade in also mine has 60k with no accident history my evo is 03 also.
they give u 12 and sell it for 21k guess its how it works
i agree with 16-18k private sale

 

Yea, 16k-18k is reasonable private. And nothing under 15k, trade in. What are the cars mods?

 

What state is the car primarily driven?

How old are you?

Any mods?

What color is the car?

Accidents (how many, and costs/damage incurred)?

Garaged, Covered, or Sun Soaked?

When I have looked into buying used, I looked more at the person selling the car, than the car itself. I did this to gauge the future maintenance of the car, which in turn can offer some leverage in reducing the sale price. However, at 5 years old, time will begin to negatively affect just about anything that's not matallic/metal in nature.

coilovers,intake downpipe,catback

1 less than $1000

i just paid 16.9 for an '03 with 33k.

 

Thats what i was thinking on trade in was 15k. Cant beleive they lowball people like that.Hell the guy even comeback with a payment plan all set up for 72 months

 

very good deal on that considering blue book is a lot more

 

Never trade in your car if you want to make more money.

Private sale will net you on average 3-5k more than what the dealership will give you.

If you have aftermarket parts, part them out to get some extra cash. Aftermarket parts do not add value to the car. Sometimes it might even detract from the value.

GL on your sale.

i thought so. even came with TBE, FMIC, Greddy guages, Megan coilovers, and RPF1s.

 

For an 03 evo with over 50k thats been in an accident...I wouldn't pay much over 11-12k. Theres no reason for anyone to buy an evo with frame damage.

 

and where did i say it had frame damage it had a 5 mile a hour hit in the rear bumper bud no frame damage there.Didnt even dent the trunk.

 

It might as well have frame damage if there is a report on carfax. Most rear ends do end up with the rear portion of the unibody being crumpled. Good luck

 

I paid 18.5 for a '03 VIII in decent shape a few months ago. I may have overpaid a bit and had to DIY some stuff (bleeding brakes, they were horrible, also the windshield sprayer was hooked up wrong, trunk trim falling off, etc) but mechanically the car seems stout. If your car is cosmetically good I'd list for 19K and see what comes around.
