Hi all I have been trying to sell my Tommi makinen for a long time now and the way things are over here it will never sell. I never considered parting it out but seeing all the threads with guys building evo 6's from standard mirage chassis in the Us I thought it may work and I could recoup some of what I paid for her, she's a 26k mile example with a lot of aftermarket bits, what are your opinions?

the list below is what was added to the car, if you add in all the body panels engine and gearbox, makinen interior etc etc etc would it be worth it?
bear in mind i'm in Ireland so shipping is a huge factor if sending parts.

dont part out such a nice car

 

id buy both the front and rear seats if u decide to part out!

 

Since you cant sell it, its a sign. For the love of god keep that thing!

 

i wish i lived in texas, i'd have you ship the whole damn thing to me. clean car, dont part it out!

 

amazing. HOW much is your asking price?

 

she cost me 22k euro and she's done about 200 miles since then i'm looking for 15k euro for her. there are a few in The UK for sale for 17k GBP which is about 19k euro with similar mileage. the market is a gonner over here. you can pick up evo's for dirt money the red makinen is the only car that will hold it's value i'm told but i cannot wait for 10 ****ing years for a car price to come back to what it's worth. when i paid 22k for mine itthat was the cost of importing it from japan they were selling for 25-28k euro here at that time so she was a good deal at 22k for me. then the market went to **** and now nobody will pay that for a makinen over here. i reckon if i part it out i could get a good bit of the 15k.

 

why whats the deal in Texas?

 

i got two kids i'm 33 years old and i've grown out of evos, i kind of feel like a dick going around with two kids in the back so i just don't drive it. I have a 740i for that job now. i think it's a young mans car, not saying i'm old but possibly too old for a makinen

 

never too old for a makinen>>>>> what a beautyfull car..please dont part it out...

 

do you still have it???

 

PLEASE DO NOT PART THAT CAR OUT...
that would be a horrible mistake man, that car is soooo nice
ill trade you my IX for it.lol

 

Thats a museum piece! For the love of god and my *****, don't part it out!

 

I am really surprised there are not many buyers in the UK. I used to live in the UK and those cars would go without any issue.

 

sell that classic car as is. don't part it out.
