Well, i'm tired of the SC game. Even though i just converted it to manual 2 weeks ago. I'll sell my car with everything and if it doesn't hit how much i would expect it then i'll part it out.

190k miles
Manual conversion (w58)
xxr 521's
Stance coilovers
LS400 bbk
HIC spoiler
HID 5000k lows and 6000k fogs
New radiator
Megan exhaust
Clusters lights no dimming

Tear passenger seat

hey man whatsup? what happened to make you wanna sell? i know it cant be easy to deal with inspection in cali due to the swap. i know some tranny swaps you cant do without the cel. but i thought that was just for the 99+? are you disappointed in how the swap turned out? i mean im with copermn. you just took the first big step to making it a beast. from here you just turbo it and your laying rubber. my guess is you have found another ride your interested in working with. if so what is it? if you part it i would be down for some black interior parts. i would love the tranny too but it would cost too much to ship. hate to lose a good cl member man. but if your ready to move on we will forgive you

15 bucks. i currently have several 20's in my wallet. i will exchange you a 20 dollar bill for your car, along with 5 dollars in change, of course, and delivery of the vehicle to my house. thanks mate, good doing business with you.

it is worth as much as the dumbest person willing to pay for it...

put it up for sale at the price you are comfortable letting it go. if it doesnt sell then lower the price until it does. these cars dont have the value they did about 4-5 years ago, unfortunately.

I'm with bleedspeed on this one. Is it a smog issue making you want to get rid of it? I actually dont blame you there if it is. I had to get my car inspected today and it was a pita even with stock exhaust...And I am not even in Cali where, as we all know, smog ***** rule.

These "What is my car worth" threads are pretty meaningless because as dude above me put it, it is worth the lowest you are willing to part with it or the highest bid, whichever is higher...

Yeah to be honest, smog isn't a problem for me since i have a few buddies

I figure, that it depends on the buyer. I want to get a rough estimate not shooting too high or too low.

But i want to get into the GS scene

Getting tired of the SC? I'm sorry you feel that way, but I think the GS is so common. I'm hoping you'll make your GS stand out like Chrispy's

I bet you could get $8,000-$9,000 if you sell it locally, maybe more. Everyone on the forums will low ball you if you sell it with everything on it.

I think the GS would be a great replacement for the SC. They're really nice cars and a boosted GS is even cooler than a boosted SC. Are you looking at the GS300 or the GS400/430?

Not sure about that, main selling points are the blk interior and 5spd conversion other then a few mods its nothing special...8-9+ if it was properly boosted then yeah.

i'd be happy if it was worth 9k but realistically probably not.

I was hoping for the 7kish range. If not i can just part out my car and sell stock 97 5spd blk/blk for 5k at least.

Or if some lucky gs4 wants to trade for a sc
