is 2000 to much??

[pcboy123]

hi im selling a 91 Toyota corolla sr5! with 166,000 miles, im asking for 2000 good price or to much! recent new stuff added! New tires, Brakes, Master cylinder, Fuel Pump, Starter, Alt, and a used Distributor. small diggings nothing mayor, rust on sunroof, and salvage title was in accident.. rear left side.. New Tags

I would say new tires do raise the price, but all this other stuff being replaced is a reason to keep the price the same, rather than lowering it if all these parts didn't work. I wouldn't say its a reason to raise the price.

91 is a bit old, and SR5 is a big difference from GT-S. With bit of rust (especially if it's visible) and having been in an accident, I would seriously go no higher than $1100 on this, and that's pushing it.

Agreed......you'd be lucky to even get that much ($1100), really, as used cars are a dime a dozen, at least 'round here...

If it's got a salvage title, and rust on the roof, and damage from an accident, there's no way you will even get $1,000 IMO. I would sell it for $750. You might go ahead and list it for $1000 or best offer just to see what hapens then. But regardless of what parts you've put on it, as long as someone buying it is going to have to deal with a salvage title, they aren't going to pay anywhere near 2 grand for it.

new parts do not increase value. $2k is way too much. i just bought a one owner clean title 92 with 158k with a laundry list of new stuff, nds tires and i got it for $750. but then again you can ask whatever you want...getting it is another issue

have a look in autotrader or craigslist and you'll find a huge number of smart sellers that sell cars with few hundred thousand miles, "the car runs perfect, nothing has been changed to it" so it worths a fortune. Or "changed many parts" that the price is double than a new one. They omit to say that what has not been changed it is going to be on your expense soon (and sometimes, too soon) or the big number of fixes in the ToDoList will be yours.

And with a little bit of patience you'll find the right naive that will buy the bait.

I would say the right price for that car is the price paid by pullapart (sorry about that), but I am confident that you will sell it with 1500$ easily.

I bought my car at < kbb price, but I am shivering of what I am seing traded around me.

So, go for it my friend and ask as much as you wish. You'll sell it at that price. When people will see a high price, they will thing it's like a new car, so will go for it. Sad, but true.........
