Hey guys, Im trying to get some input... what is a reasonable asking price(private and trade in) for my 08 IS250... It has the heated and ventilated seats with HIDs... 44,000 miles.... But I made a few upgrades... It has an F Sport exhuast, Intake, Lowering Springs, the wood inside was redone to look like marble, the roof was painted black, tailiight blacked out, emblems blacked out.... The car is in perfect condition, minor accident where someone rear ended me... But not a scratch on the car now... I asked $19k from my neighbor but idk is that fair?

 

Oh and the rims are stock but have a custom black and white paint job... Face is White windows are black... looks pretty sick... i know trade in wont be great but private party shouldnt be bad.

 

You could try kbb.com to find the value of your car, but as far as the mods, they don't contribute to the overall resale value of your car unfortunately so don't count on any extra value from that. Glws man. some people would take into account the mods and may make your car easier to sell though.

As with an modified car I've sold I'll give you this advice; your best bet is to return the car to stock condition, in order to get the most value out of it and open it up to a larger market. You have to agree, with the mods done to any car, makes the market for your SPECIFIC car VERY small. Sell the mods, return to stock, and you'll probably end up getting MORE $$ once all added up.

With that said, KBB will be your best starting point.

 

That is an insanely good deal mine was fully loaded 62k miles for 23k out the door

 

I agree and there should be a like button for things like this.

Yeah I mean I though about selling stuff individually I am just too lazy to go through the trouble... If I got 19 for everything I would be happy... I just didnt want to be overcharging them... I know trade in isnt that great and KBB is never really that great as far as being on point with trad ein values and such... they are usually a lot higher than the dealerships are willing to offer.

 

Part out everything if you are going to trade it.

Dealers dont care (or they even mark down) all the mods.
