I'm going to be selling my 2008 SFP ISF with 51k miles on the clock. I have owned this car for 7 years and I really am having a hard time selling it because it is a great car. I'm just looking at what I should start as an asking price for it. Its been garaged ever since I have owned it and barely been even rained on. For mods it has JoeZ exhaust and intake, RR Racing tune, Swift springs. Tires and battery were new last year. Not sure what else I am missing. I have attached a current pic. Thanks guys.

Looks like you have spacers too.

Good call. Yes I do have H&R spacers all the way around. Thanks

I would think mid to high 20s

^ Agreed
Stock condition I'd guess $25-27k private seller, at least in my DC area.. You may be better off parting out the exhaust/intake/tune. Off topic, but can you offer any details on if the tune was worth it with just intake/catback? I have been contemplating it but don't want headers.

GLWS!

I really don't want to part out anything. I don't know why anyone wouldn't want it with the JoeZ exhaust. Sounds amazing in my opinion. I think the tune made a difference. Whether it was worth it or not, I can't really say. Definitely worth it to some, but maybe not others. Ha

I think it depends if you want to play the waiting game. 26-28K to the right buyer that will be picky on every aspect of the car or 23K cash in you pocket in a week or 2.

I wouldn't ever go below 25k. This car is in great condition and I took very good care of it.

What avenue to people use to have the best luck? I haven't sold a car in a while so wasn't sure if this forum or like autotrader was the best?

The exhaust would be a great plus for a buyer, it may very well help sell the car with the sound alone. But not all buyers will agree that parts add any value to the car. Just suggesting that if you're nitpicky on recouping some of the funds of the additional parts, parting out will almost always get you extra $$. I've sold cars both modded and reverted to stock, and it's been easier to part out out in my experience. Thanks for the note on the tune!

krue92

No problem. Thanks for comments. I totally agree you can get more value parting that stuff out. That exhaust was not fun to put on and I don't want to remove it, even if it means losing some money. It paid for itself in my opinion everytime I started it and smiled. Ha

I would personally not buy an aftermarket exhaust car. You are limiting the market for a possible sale with it. I dont think youngsters can quite afford this car and they would love an exhaust more than the older guys

krue92

I only added the exhaust because I thought the stock exhaust was too quiet. Now it sounds like what it should of sounded like from the factory. If that is going to make or break a sale I can put the stock exhaust on.

I talked to Kevin about his car today. I think he's a pretty straight shooter. That usually helps value
