That's only downside of a modded car. The owner will always take a hit when selling. Your best bet, if you have the time, is to return it to stock as much as possible. That way you can recup some of the costs of the parts.

There isn't much to put back. The kit is molded in.... Its just gonna be one of those things where you have to take a hit or maybe not for the next enthusiast. It is pretty clean. I'd say in $5K range? What year?... Good luck

Oh yeah i fully realize that, that happens with every one of my cars because i mod them but i have got 6 years out of it and its a 18 year old car so. Not much to change back to stock however nothing to sell off seperate. Could not put put stock wheels back on because of the BBK. Wheels are peeling so ide rather everything go with it anyway. I have a 400hp trailblazer now so going to put the headaches of moding behind me for a while.

93 yeah i was thinking 5 to 6. I just have to get this electrical problem i'm having with the ecu out of the way then its ready to go. I sold the supercharger off of it long ago. That's pretty much all that needed to come off of it...

That's a nice SC. I'd say you shouldn't have any trouble selling it for $6,000, but that depends on your area.

We have a local guy on our Craigslist ad selling a '93 SC400 for $4000. Here is what he puts in the description:

"i have a 93 sc400 with 125,xxx miles . new paint still under warrenty (white is the color).it is dropped on cut springs, gold 18 inch wheels. all power ..interior color change to black.has s2000 sets in it currently but can put some tenzo r's if the price goes dwn...the car has the 98+ conversion on it all the way around. hid fogs and head lights. the fogs need a ballest- tires need replace due tocamber i have 2 new tires.now the car is throwin a code 13 rmp signal and took it to the dealer got it check out and said it is one tooth off on the timing( i have a new timing belt). other than that its a nice clean car..."

No pix though. Would definately need that timing fixed. Interesting though for $4000!
