you guys think it good price im selling $21k for my evo even with all mods on it.. like Sheptrans stage 3 Transfer case with LSD qualife and Sheptran Tranny rebuilt.. etc..

Im selling on Craigslist for $25k but Maybe Evom for cheaper deal

 

That is a freakin sweet deal. I've heard about your car from John.

 

For $21k that is a smoking good deal with all your mods. Almost too good to the point where people would ask why so cheap.

 

yeah. i thought so.. Beacsue i really want Rid. and Investment on new house that i alrendy plan to build one.. and also my buddy in Japan.. He work for USAF (air force) and he bought Evo 6 for 3k and he think about bring over WA and sell to me then ill Make it Legal street
driven car.. He will bring over when his Duty station in japan are done by 1 year and 6 more months.

 

if you check Edmunds and KBB most of the MR's are now going for about 21-22k with checking a good condition on both...with about 45-50k miles on them...To me mods don't add value to the car..if anything mods can depreciate the car's value...i have been looking for an evo to buy for the past year and have researched on pricing using this forum/edmunds TMV/KBB/Nada and all across the board MR's for private sale are about 21k-mid range 23k range....hope that helps you with pricing

 

I printed my first set of black and white photos!! Here's the link to the thread, check it out!

I hope this isn't a picture of that Evo VI he is trying to sell you. Cause that looks like a 1.8 Lancer GSR at best. I mean I guess they could have gone to all the work to change the hood, the fenders, the front bumper and put on a V rear wing (thats not a VI rear wing) and removed all the Evolution IV badging to make it some kind of odd sleeper. But then why would you go and cover it up with all those stickers again

So if that is the picture, I'd get that properly checked out before I agreed to take that off his hands if I were you.

 

In some cases you're right but the more realistic approach is the seller shouldn't expect full value for mods. In Chris' case, he has a nice clutch and really nice transmission. He likely won't get what he paid for them but they are worth a price bump, especially if he can provide warranty on installs, etc.

If the seller doesn't like the price being offered then of course it is up to them to negotiate or part-out aftermarket items to take the car back closer to stock. In Chris' case, $21k is a killer deal!

 

Had a random funny thought when remembering how we swarmed the red X then took off. A horn that sounded like the road runner's little meep meep, would have been funny as hell!

 

i still think mods don't add any value to the car. Sentimental value sure but no seller should think they can get full price on the mods they put onto the car....that to me is ridiculous if people can think they can get full price on the mods they put onto their cars. 21k sounds like a killer deal for this guy's car and i am sure he will get more hits with that kind of price..glws i am sure someone is gonna bite at that price

 

It really depends on the mods, and they definitely don't add full price but I wouldn't give away free money either, unless I was really motivated to sell. If I have an aftermarket wing that cost a grand I'd rather part it off and sell it on the side. The obvious issue I may run into is whether or not I have the stocker to put back on. That's where I would start to lose money on the sale but I could probably still come out on top overall.

I think it isn't so much sentimental reasoning for leaving mods installed as it is laziness or not having the time. That's what I've usually seen anyway. I think I see what you mean by sentimental reasoning. A motivated seller is someone that is willing to dip below what the item is worth in order to make a quick sale.

When we sold our old house in 2007 we got the market value and then undercut it by nearly $10k. We kept getting compliments about the best house on the market at that price but no offers. Dropped it another $5k after 3 weeks of hearing the same thing and instantly had 3 buyers. Our old neighbors were pretty pissed but the fact of the matter is we got rid of our house in a month while it took them almost a year.

 

He followed me into the parking lot at the bar and we talked for a few minutes.

Told him to check out the NW section and say hi........ havent seen him on here yet.

 

^I knew I saw him, and even mentioned it to someone when we stopped. I just figured I must have seen Minh's car. I guess that explains why I didn't see you right away Ryan. I forgot to ask that night, though.

 

^still waiting on those text messages for directions........

 

Wow is all I have to say
