Default another whats my car worth question, now that the title is descriptive

Hey guys I'm thinking of selling my sc. I know it sucks but I'm wanting something different I love my sc but it's time to movie on. So my question is its hard for me to put a value on my car as there isn't alot of others to compare to.

93 sc300 250,000 on body
5 speed conversion
Stock 1jz swap
New c8 sport coilover, I've never heard of them before $900 few thousand on them
Big sway bars front and rear
Turbo xs front mount with 2.5 piping t-clamps
Cx racing radiator
Dual flex lite fans
Momo seat
Nardi wheel
Cobra wheels 17x11 rear 17x 9 front
Newer paint and straight body
Apexi turbo timer
Welded diff
Drift button(woo)
Full tan interior not in good shape, seats ripped, carpet has stains
Auto meter boost gauge
Maybe some other small stuff

And it has actual radiator mounts lol. And I forgot the front turbo is starting leak oil
So I was thinking of listing it for $7000. Clean title in my name I just don't know if that's too much or I'm giving it away. I need some other sc owners opinions

I wouldn't pay a dime over $7k for that. In fact I've seen much cleaner 1JZ swapped cars for $6-7k. No offense it just looks pretty ratted out and abused.

However I'm sure you could find the right buyer for around $5.5 - 6k.

Is the manual tranny a W58 or R154? Cause if it's an R154 that would help the value a bit but I've even seen swapped cars with a R154 in the $7k range.

That interior is kinda killing the value on that, just looks like its been beaten. And the mention of the turbos leaking kind of just put it in a negative light overall.

If your selling it as is 7 is on the high side in my opinion. With a little interior work it wouldn't be crazy.

Also depends on where you live, pretty significant factor actually.

Ya I was actually going to go a black passenger seat, black carpet, and black center console and that would have really cleaned it up. I also have the dash piece where my oil pressure gage is lol. Gotta move it it's temporary. I'm just torn I love my sc but there spendy to build and I want to get back into drifting more I used to run drift events 1 to 2 times a month and now I never drift. I just keep thinking about how I could build a 240 way cheaper. Sc's do slide really nice though, not alot of aftermarket though unless you have deep pockets

I would strongly suggest the little bit of work to get the interior clean.

There not expensive there just quality

But really I could see why, 240's just have pretty much everything you want in a drift car with a strong aftermarket. Best of luck with whatever you end up doing.

3-4k since its swapped But the leaking turbo wont help at all looks like your selling your problems to someone else. You probably better off trading for a good condition 240 if thats what you want. Overall car looks pretty rough.

I've been looking at classifieds for a while now it amazes me the prices guys are wanting for cars with over 200,000 miles. I might pay $7,000 for a low mileage basically stock car but not what I've been seeing posted lately. If some of these cars are bringing that kind of money mine should bring $20,000.00 and no one would pay that for mine and it's got thousands of dollars in it.
