Hi ryan,

Yeah I looked when you put your stag up for sale and had a squiz at price and mods ect.... Its a well modded car but the mods dont hold value much at all. What you would be asking is more if it was completely stock and then body condition. Seeing as its not leather ect id be re considering to. For sure if someone is after a modded car and knows about what parts are good ect sure they will snap yours up.

my 2c

yeah, i reported my own forsale thread with a copy and paste to see if it can be modified, i am going to put it up for 14k, then if someone offers me around 13 or whatever then i will talk to them about it.

$13k is criminal for a well sorted S1 such as yours. Sheeit, they just don't hold any value do they?

You might get some more bites from the leadfoot crowd if you also post a power-output.

But my recommendation is; don't sell it - keep it until it wears out!

if it doesnt sell and i get a loan for this other car, and i can manage the repayments with the higher rent for 16months(til my wage doubles), then i will keep it :(

a stocky is 10ish, add timinig kit and mods.... someone is about to get a f**king bargain, spread the word, I have a beautiful bottle of red that i might offer as a finders fee, from a local vineyard, was there best ever... i only have three bottles stashed :) and is prob more pleasing than a cash finders fee(which is also on offer)

unless it sells on here, the mods are worthless and will probably bring it's value down (people assume its been hooned/thrashed and will walk off).

Best thing to do is put stock stuff back on and sell the good bits on here. plenty of people would love to get their hands on the bilstein setup now they are not readily available

ryan,

Was only thinking after I got off computer to do what duncon said.

Pull the parts off and return it to stock. Sell your aftermarket bits and pieces.

Best option IMO to get a. the most of your money back as possible, b. a quick sale as you can drop asking price :(

I have all stock bits except for the shocks... i refuse to put it on carsales, i couldnt bare for it not to go to an enthusiast, its on here and NS(gulp).

MIGHT go on carsales if i get desperate tho... i think that is how AlexCim's sold. I could put it back to standard except for the shocks, but I really dont want to seperate what i fell is an awesome package

yeah whack it on carsales. thats how I sold mine and I sold mine for 14k with a few mods, suspension, safcII, EBC... the best stereo I've ever had, and that was when the market was giving 8-10k for stock

You're never going to get a quick sale with them, as people don't even know they exist.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
