stock ones are worth 6-8K (if autotrader tells me correct) so i'd think that 16-17k would be a fair price for a car with the work yours has done to it. good luck when you decide to sell it.

[Tocchi]

thanks speed.freak


anybody else? i want HONEST opinion, i dont care if you say less or more... its not a for sale thread, its a thread where i want to know a fair price, so please feel free to be honest

[Gozza]

Theres no doubt is has had the money spent on it - But i don't know if someone would buy it for that price - I wouldn't even know how to price it

[Bipolar]

I'm thinkin 13-14, even though you've spent a shitload of money on it.

I'm thinkin 13-14, even though you've spent a shitload of money on it.

This is what I was thinking as well

I would look for a cheap BA xr6t for the price....
I think if you are going to spend that much money on a car you should build it for yourself, and keep it (unless someone makes a good offer on it!)

[Tocchi]

thanks guys. yeh my reserve is around 14k. so thats alright in my eyes.

in WA the car prices are still about 15% higher than over east, so the BA XR6T's are still 23k and higher, so i might be able to slip into 1Xk bracket quite nicely with the sale.

jake, i know what you mean, but ive just purchased a FG XR8 so the EF is getting sold to help fund it

[Stengord]

Yea its like you spend $1000 on your car its onyl worth like an extra 100 when you sell it

It also all depends on how quick your willing tos ell it

Quick sale, knock a few K off it, but if its on the market for like 6-12 months then you'd get what your looking for

[sphell]

If it was over here in Vic where BA XR6T's are cheap as chips now, I'd say you could maybe get 11-12k for it. Sorry to sound harsh but stock XR6's aren't worth that much and the engineering certificates aren't worth a grain of salt over here. You'd have to sell it without a roadworthy certificate. However, you aren't in Vic and you said prices are higher over there so maybe you could get 14k for it. I honestly think 16-17k is a bit high though.
