actually not so much thinking about selling the TC more like I have to get rid of it for financial reasons..I just wanted to get peoples opinion for value it's an 05, stick 5-speed silver, Injen Cold air intake, B&M short shifter, 1.6 inch drop with Espiliar lowering springs, Alpine radio with Ipod connect, I know this probably isn't in the right section but I can't post in the selling section but anyways the car is in really good shape not dent's some minor chips I know blue book is a way to find value but I wanted the opinion from someone who's sold a car like mine or seen ones like mine for sale anyways thanks in advance.

you forgot to list the mileage, which is a huge part of determining value.

CRAP.....I thought I was missing something, it just passed 51K

thebeast29

hey buddy how about you put your car back to its factory settings!!!! trust me you will get more for ur car.. no one wants a car that had had people mess with it.... find ur factory equipment and put it on. TRUST ME!!!!!

draxcaliber

anyway, if you want to get the most value out of it, put everything back to stock, anything else only lowers the value of it.

dingus

Well I've thought about that, the only real kicker is I just moved to Texas and all the stock parts are in VA at my parents house so I would spend a lot to get it down here and then I have to find someone to install the stock springs and shifter..

thebeast29

people think that just because they install a 200 dollar injen intake or hks it gives there car more value..... but if you go to the dealer and ask for the factory intake system u will realize why its better to have ur car set to factory...! or any other add on.. always best to have the oem stuff on hand

dingus

I know that modding your car is probably the worst thing to do to the value. I'll try to be polite but I'm not stupid I am aware of these things and thank you for your information and advice BUT that's not why I originally posted I just wanted a ballpark estimate from someone who maybe knows someone who's had a similar experience or knows someone who has

SexyRS1

do you plan on selling it private party?

thebeast29

no one here is underminding your tactics but i am just saying!!! look online and see how much cars ur year and mileage are going for then decrease the value buy how much you think u have done to it...

dingus

I appreciate the advice and sorry if it sounded rude, it's been a rough week or so. Yes my only real option is selling it private party, I got the vehicle appraised and it was much lower than I thought it would be, I would end up way upside down so I was trying to find as much info as possible from here

$10-12K depending on the quality of paint and interior...sound good? I would also see what they are going for on autotrader.com/craigslist in your area similar equip./miles/condition.

a year and a half ago my 05 with 50k went for 13k...you will prolly get about 11 depending on condition...

dingus

I would like 11, and that's a heck of a lot better than the $7K I was offered by a place that will go nameless. thanks for the replies, the car is in really good shape when I lived in VA I had access to a buffer so I buffed and polished the whole car and I wax the crap out of now that I'm in Texas
