I have a laundry list of upgrades, just trying to see what people think its worth if I was going to sell it private? Obviously every buyer is different but what would be a good starting price?

If It helps I will compile a list of all my upgrades? I know it doesn't do much to help value but hate to loose to much considering I have some good quality work into the car

73k miles and 2008, paint has some defect(deciding if I will repaint it before I sell it or not, if its worth it)

Damn man, are you really selling it? What happened? What are you considering as a replacement? I'm willing to spend $50 bucks shipped to DE on the OE tail lights, let me know if that works. Fill us in on what's happening! It'll be a shame to see you go!

oreoremix42

Its just a consideration at this point. I would like to replace it with a slightly used lexus is350

Honestly your mods a worth nothing unless you manage to find someone who is in the market for a modded car. It suck but is the way it goes. You will always make more money selling off your mods and putting the car as much back to stock as you can. Best bet is find people who want the modded parts and will swap for stock parts plus cash.

My 2008 xB with 40,xxx miles and plenty of mods carmax offered me $11,500 and Toyota was $9,800. private i would think $12,500 but depends on if anyone is really looking for a modded xB.

From what I've read over and over again, Greg's input is good advice.

I know this guy's that's not the point of this thread. The whole point of this is if I were to find d the right niche buyer what do you guys think I could start my pricing of my car? A estimated rough value of what I could get out of it with the right buyer. No offense but I don't need to be told the same thing I already know and stated that mods don't truly increase the value of the car. That being said the right buyer will

Sorry, my bad.

Plugging some of your mods into KBB it came up with $10,250, figure for the right buyer you could add another $1000 for the stuff that is custom, at least what I could see in the pictures. If you have suspension and engine work as well possibly $1000 more depending on what has been done.

That price will vary by region of course and mine is set to SoCal pricing.

No worries just wanted to clarify. I have lowering springs, intake, crank pulley, cutback tsudo, a tie bar, carbon fiber valve cover. Not actual vale cover but what goes over it. As for interior LOTS done to the interior would it help listing greg?

My guess is if you found a private buyer who was specifically in the market for what you have done, you might be able to get as much as $15000, it's just hard to gauge since even that buyer is likely to push down -- could end up closer to $13000. I've some $22000+ into my 13Kmi 2008 and taking the KBB route, I'm looking at maybe $12K at best, could easily be neighborhood 10K. My solution is to keep the car! In any case, good luck with it dude !

oreoremix42

That would be anise number to see! Maybe I will start it at like 14k and see if I get anyone interested?

Doesn't hurt to try, ultimately, it's your game, your choice! You don't have to sell unless you choose to!

The issue is I don't have to much to part out. In order to return to stock I would have to go and find a whole bunch of stock parts. Like the headliner is black suede now so to go back to stock I'd need a new one.

Greg S

You do a sale that is swap for stock parts plus cash on there end.

I just did it when I decided to change my headliner this last time. Swapped the purple one for a stock one so that I could start with a fresh slate for the pleather and copper set-up.

Also did it with my infinity mirrored rear pillars when I pulled them out from the last build. Swapped my led lit grab handles at the same time. There is a market for already modified parts for those that can't do the work or don't have the time/money. With your color matched dash panels I'm sure you could find a BOP owner that would want them and be willing to swap their stock panels.

Realistically I would say you will probably fetch $10-14k on it, depending on the buyer and what they want. Me I personally won't buy a car that has a bunch of mods already done so I would probably offer plus or minus $10k if I looked at it. But it all really depends on the buyer.

So I decided on what to do, and well pulled the trigger

FZ-09, funky looking but I like it. Sort of a modern café racer style to it.
