Maybe selling my cam?

[WestCoastff]

What up guys, i dont think im selling my car but i just wanted to get a feel for what i could get for it. I dont have any interior pics really, but you guys have all seen the car. Here is everything i have done to it:

-Dp-10 18" Rims wrapped in hankook 225x45's
-KYB G2R struts, 2" dropzone springs.
-Rolled fender walls (done right!)
-Trunk done up custom, i havent seen a trunk like mine yet. Also, the place that did it bondo'd the 2 layers together so there is NO rattling whatsoever, it is great with a system
-Intenna shaved
-Limo tint all around with 8 inch strip up front
-Custom grill with yota sign removed
-Clear corners, clear bumpers with hyper white bulbs
-Alpine type R 12" sub with custom ported box, 800 watt amp, and pioneer head unit. it THUMPS.
-Cobra Radar detector with hard wire kit.
-Extra cigarette lighter adapter for passenger hard wired into the car (Not mounted anywhere)
-FLAWLESS grey leather interior.
-The car has about 118k miles on it, but my grandmother was the original owner until about 100k. The car shifts great, starts up every time on a dime, and is CLEAN. The pictures i have dont even do it any justice.

I have at least $3,600 in reciepts since november, 2005. Like i said, im not quite selling my car, i just want to see what i could get for it. Anyone wanna throw out some numbers? I would not go any lower than 8,500 for the car. What do you guys think?

Heres the link to a thread with some pictures. Everything i have done to this car, i did right. I spent a little extra money on each thing i did. Suspension, shaving, system, everything is flawless. Tell me what you guys think

The only way to claim extra value than what it is actually worth is not possible. Even if you had a turbo and had a $10K paint job, it'll still be worth blue book Value. If you wanted to get that kind of money, I suggest you part out...everything

[WestCoastff]

True, but thats your opinion richie. Some people like to buy cars already slightly modded so they dont have to do much. Anyways, thanks for the input Parting it out would be a pain in the ass though....

the market for a modded camry is pretty limited, but theres no harm in trying to sell the car as it is, just dont be suprised if it doesnt sell for the price you want. Like rich said, youll be much further ahead by parting out all your aftermarket stuff.

[PtBaller]

I agree with them you're are better off parting out. Theres no way you would be able to get 8.5k unfortunately.

[DAMON]

parting it is the way to go, no one is going to pay that for a third gen camry no matter how nice it is

While the market for modded cars is growing, and some cars have fetched well over their original value when modded correctly (a skyline modded right in the states can fetch a quarter million or more) it will still be several years before that is the norm, as is now you have to get lucky and catch the right buyer at the right time.

It would prrobably be more satisfying for you to keep it because unless you literally hit the jackpot, no one is going to give you 8500 for a car whose blue book value is about 3600. Buyers WILL rip you off. Selling really isn't worth it.

[RichieRichJP]

Yeah, you'll definitely have to find the right buyer. Say a Dad wanting to buy a special gift for his son. Goodluck if you still plan on selling it 8k

[Grayguy]

I would hope to get half that, and the only reason I think that might be possible for me is that I have a 5spd which are harder to find, and it has new Susp, timing belt, clutch, brakes, and paint. And I would only ask that AFTER i go through it again and fix all the door dings it got over teh winter, and replace the crushed in fender...

yeah you would be better off parting out even if u have all that done to ur car it still looks stock with rims but good luck with the sale if u go that way
