youll get more parting the components individually and selling mostly stock

 

good advice thanks man. The only problem is I sold a majority/all of the stock parts

 

^^ understood, it also depends on how fast you want to sell and how lazy you are in swapping back in parts haha

 

pretty lazy lol I base my life on instant gratification haha Im looking to sell it by the end of this year

 

part it out and ask for stock stuff in return. since the buyer is replacing it anyways just take off a little bit to make it fair and sell the car stock

 

^^^ good call, thats why they pay you the big bucks lol

 

personally i wouldnt pay that much for it-----not to say someone else wouldnt.

 

How much would you? thanks for the input it helps

 

no problem theory ---to be honest i wouldnt be the best person to sell your car too at all and i will give you my reasons----

-i am a fan of buying stock cars and mileage is always an issue with me----i do know for a fact that there are many people that prefer to have an engine already swapped in for them to save them the trouble of doing it themself----it is these people that would most likely be your customers of choice------also the fact that the cel is on would turn me off big time--

--the whining noise as well that you say comes from the transfer case would also be an issue to me and mostly the fact that the engine is not original would also turn me off------as i would not know how many miles are really on the engine and i would be scared to take this car on as my own-----

---the missing woodgrain, the rust and the scrapes along the front and back bumper dont help either===although they are quite minor in relation to the other issues they still add some negative to the overall car----

---aside from that your car looks great ----i love the wheels and the low stance and all---------since it is a 97 im sure u can get some good money for it ----im just not sure exactly how much.

How much money do u have into it at this point would be interesting to know.

if you could somehow get rid of that cel i can guarantee an easier sale---also to get the bottoms of your bumpers resprayed could be done for peanuts and would add to the overall look of the car-------and im not sure what would cause a transfer case to whine but i wouldnt be surprised if it was a costly fix.

Sorry for the negative feedback but i think it is important to give u my honest opinion.

If you took care of some of the negatives you could probably get close to what u are asking -----but i think the car needs too much work at this point to get that sort of cash ----just my opinion is all.

Thanks and good luck

 

Thanks for putting in the time to write all of that out. Ill take your advice. Ill put it back to stock and take care of the cel and wood grain. After that ill sell it and see what I can get Thanks man

 

i believe 6.5k to 7k should be a decent price

the seller is honest and problems are minor, new owner might enjoy fixing her up a little and making it "his" own

car looks good, nice and clean

 

your welcome and good luck---hope u get a good price
