Whats YOUR miata worth
 
If you were to sell your car how much would you ask for it and why?

KPLAFIN 10-03-2008 01:06 AM

I think I speak for most people on this site when I say:

"A lot more than it's worth simply because I don't really want to get rid of it."

DontPassTheFence 10-03-2008 01:11 AM

I owe like 10k on it, so I hope its worth more than that >.>;

Id never sell it though.

borkap 10-03-2008 01:13 AM

well its probably pretty transparent that I am thinking of selling mine so i was trying to gauge what to ask.

Fireindc 10-03-2008 01:18 AM

You could make a thread with pictures and a description so we could help you..

id ask at least double what I got it for simply because I got it for a retardedly good price:)

your is nice though, even if im not a fan of the yellow

cardriverx 10-03-2008 01:48 AM

I say without hardtop its worth in the 5-6k range, then a extra 600 to 1k for the hardtop depending on condition.

naarleven 10-03-2008 02:38 AM

strip it part it out.

Sell it as stock. You'll make tons more moneyies then.

Fireindc 10-03-2008 02:56 AM

As is: 5.5-6k, parted out you could get more.

Well sorted car you have there.

KPLAFIN 10-03-2008 03:17 AM

Am I the only one under the impression this thread was started to find out what everyone else though THEIR car was worth? I didn't pick up the part where he was trying to price out his car specifically but that definitely seems to be what he was looking for now. :dunno:

Son of a bitch....that's like the tenth time I've posted something today that was completely explained in a previous post....I need some sleep or something apparently....carry on.

Modified cars have to be *flawless* in order to fetch big bucks. I would probably ask $10k for my car if I were to ever sell it, after I fixed the following:
-PDR driver's fender, new front/rear bumper skins, repaint hood/fenders/nose/hardtop
-new gauge hood
-new exhaust tip
-full detail

Probably $14k if I were to part out. I have more than that into it and I will probably never sell.

+1

It would take a special car to kick the Miata out of my garage.

borkap 10-03-2008 09:11 AM

I dont want to sell it but I am in a bind and need the money. I am paying for a house I dont live in....

samnavy 10-03-2008 09:21 AM

Mine is for sale in the Classifieds right now at $5500. Your parts "extensiveness" is about the same as mine, but it looks like you spent some more money.

The economy is in the shitter right now and winter is coming up fast... I haven't had a single hint of interest.

I'll probably end up shipping mine back to San Diego when I move there in December and parting the turbo stuff, keeping the swappable pieces for my NB build, and selling the OEM stuff to a guy who specializes in Miata parting there.

Your best bet for maximum return is to part it. I've learned one valuable lesson during the 2 years I've been building my '93... don't ever throw away any stock pieces you remove. Store and keep to return to stock. I wish I had.

borkap 10-03-2008 09:27 AM

I would love to have the time and space to do it but I am in an apt now and dont really have access to a garage like my house.
