Alright I need some honest opinions...

TreyMR2 · 10-13-2009, 09:13 PM

What do you guys think I could get for my car? I'm thinking about selling it and saving the money to help get me outta my parents house soon. This is pretty close to what it looks like at the moment. Except it has a new bumper on the front with a 93 lip, neither are painted so they're black. The motor is a JDM Gen3 3sgte. Here's a list of the mods. Please be honest too, even the bad comments I just want a realistic price I should put it up for. I can get some pics of it now tomorrow after work if needed.

-3'' intake
-SMIC
-3'' DP
-MBC
-poly motor mounts
-boost and oil pressure gauges on an a-pillar mount
-leather interior out of a 93 MR2
-pioneer radio, 6 1/2'' front speakers, 6x9 rears, and factory replacement sub
-Red gauge cluster LED's
-94+ tail lights
-93 rims, ****y paint on them though.
-93 shifter
-eibach sport lowering springs
-ACT stage 3 6 puke clutch

The bad
-no a/c
-reverse is a little tough to get into, I've drove it like that for over a year though and it never really bothers me once I got used to how to get it into reverse.
-rear shocks are starting to show some age. Will get complete set of struts with stock springs installed with car.
-speed cable is broke, I'll buy it and replace it for free, part is like $10. Thinking about doing that before I sell it anyways.
-needs a paint job but zero body damage other than little rock chips here and there.

The paint looks better in these pics than it really is so thats why I put that other one first.

between $4000 and $7000 depending on miles on the engine/turbo and if all other components work well. that's my take.

Edit: why not keep it and get out of the house? just live outa ur TWO!

Lol ha, I'm dropping my current savings and my jeep for a new tacoma from my work. I really don't have time/money to really mess with the 2 anymore either. I would love to finish it and will if I can't sell it for a decent price. I just wanna know what I can get for it in its current shape and if its enough to make up for most of what I put into it I will do it.

Edit: also I added the few bad things about it up there now so it gives you a more accurate idea of it.

and as far as the miles on the motor. I bought it from a company that said they're motors had anywhere from 25-45K miles on them. I've drove about 8k-10k on it since I put it in. I've only used royal purple oil in it since I got it and the internals are super clean.

TreyMR2 · 10-13-2009, 09:43 PM

MRH · 10-13-2009, 09:49 PM

mr.asian.m2 · 10-13-2009, 09:53 PM

all the stuff fix as above. i said... around 7,500 to 8,000. 9,500 if everyone job was back to normal.

TreyMR2 · 10-15-2009, 07:17 PM

I'm gonna wash it real good like it will be when I try to sell it and put some pics of it that way up on here this weekend.

9500 for a swapped '91-'92? No...not even in the best of economy.

These cars are OLD, they will continually to get OLDER, and modifications take AWAY from the price.

A pristine '91 would go for ~6K, yours with bad paint and gen3 would probably go for about the same, IMHO.

TreyMR2 · 10-16-2009, 06:53 PM

^thats more what I was thinking. I was gonna try and start around 6K I just didn't know if that was to high/low or what. I'm not expecting a ton for it, I only have about 6K put into it so I would be excited about that. I didn't pay but $250 for the actually car itself, everything else was in mods and fixing factory stuff. I'm just trying to help my down payment for a tacoma I'm about to order from my work. I'm got almost 4K cash and 2 vehicles(MR2 and my Jeep) for sale so I guess first one to go I'll use that money for the truck and the other ones money into my savings for a house.
