I would keep shpping areound to find the cheapest arangement available.If you sell your car with damage on it you are likely to lose your shirt.

It will be difficult to get a car as nice with the money the sale will net you.

The cars value is low as it is, and with damage that only makes things worse......... If its in good condition otherwise, best bet would be to fix it and then sell it...... You may be able to get your moneys worth out of it......

When your ready to sell, post here on NICO........

Do not fail remedial English. This could happen to you.

Good luck trying to "seel" or sell your Q45a. Those are HUGE money pits. The active suspension is not very durable and is very costly to fix. If you do a search on the forums, everyone tells people to stay away from the "a" models.

If you try to sell the car in perfect condition, you'd get about $8000 for it. With the damage, you'd probably get like $4000 for it. But like I said earlier, it's going to be very hard to sell the Q45a.

I would just donate the car to charity and get the tax writeoff.

I was reading that initial post and was thinking the same thing. I didn't want to slam the guy but dang!

Anyway, since some of you stepped in... My suggestion is to sell the Q even with the damage and buy a dictionary!

heyy guys sorry about the enRish :-p buutt yeeaa the only damage that is DONE to the car is body damage...nothing done to the suspension system...just needs a new head light new fender nd bumper........but if i do decide to seelll i will post a forum up on here ;-)but do you think i can still get a good 10 Gs outta this car it's been very well maitnenced nd ... nd everything is fine! jus the body! >.<

Post by **wushuhp** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:15 pm

ohh yeeaa sorry about the speellling....it's been a long day....

Post by **AZhitman** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:15 pm

$10 G's? Dude.

My 95Q is *pristine* with low miles, impeccable maintenance, not a scratch on the exterior, PERFECT interior, $2000 in premium wheels/tires, no weird "act sus" issues, AND a warranty. It would barely pull that much.

You're good to go if a NICO member who can fix the act-sus (it'll croak soon) and the body damage will give you $3K for it.

Put down the crack pipe and call us back when you are willing to slow down and have a rational discussion. You found the best place on the internet for advice, but if you continue to talk like you just stepped out of "8 mile" You're eventually just gonna be ridiculed, this a serious board and you will get serious advice, type slowly and keep telling yourself..."If I was really eminem I would not be worried about selling this car."

Post by **wushuhp** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:15 pm

aahhhhh **** :-( yea man i was hoping i might b able to EBAY it....nd at least get 5?....if i got 7 i'd b happy 10? i'd b gloating.........but i mean what happened to the $7000 suspension system!!!!! back in 1995 the thing that set this apart from the q45 nd the q45t was the $7000 suspension system! i mean a hydraulic at each wheeel?!!? come on now...thats gotta b worth sum money???*sob*.....still tryina soak the TRUTH in....

Post by **Q45Viper** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:15 pm

Please, please, put it on EBay, I can not think of an assmusement I would enjoy more. I reread this whole thread, did he tell us how many miles or what he's done to it, c'mon dude, how many miles, what kind of shape is it in, what have you done to improve it, how bad is the body damage, pictures?

Post by **AZhitman** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:15 pm

It's OK, brotha. Let it all out...

Just think, if they held their value, you (and I) would probably never have owned one.

The damage really kills you on this one. No way you'll sell it wrecked for more than $4K (I'd eat my hat) and once it's repaired (which won't be cheap) you'll still only get MAYBE $7K, minus what you spent on repairs...

If I owned it? And if I had no conscience? I'd get the front fixed as cheaply as possible (junkyard parts, cheapo bodyshop) and sell it to some saggy-pants, pimply-faced chump teenager with more money than brains.

Post by **wushuhp** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:15 pm

yyeeaaaa i already checked the junk yards.......nothing in pen VA and MD.....the guy that is fixing my car is my youth group leaders uncle....nd he's hookin me up with 50% off labor charges..........and he already checked up through the junk yards..........but i'm not sure i'm wanting to spend 8 months paying the debt i'm in........plus when skoo starts....it's going to be hard to give 400 a month.....

BTW if i doooo sell i will post pictures.......FYI.....the fender is outta there.......left part of the bumper is ****ed including the fog light....the shell of the head light is shattered...althought the bulb itself still works....the electrical system in the car has shorted....sooo the dash board lights won't work nd the tail lights will not glow............OTHER THEN THAT....everything is FINE!.....i mean v8.......278 horses.....i've been burning everysingle car since i got behind the wheel....besides a S600......

Post by **Q45Viper** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:15 pm

Certainly not being a racist, only a little anti rap. How would not liking eminem be racist? I'm suggesting that you give us facts about your car that we cannot figure out without you.How many miles?What is the damage?What have you done to the car to keep it up?With these kind of facts , we could give you better advice, otherwise an active car with serious damage even a 95 is worth basically a couple grand, parts only.

Post by **Q45Viper** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:15 pm

OK, one last serious offer based on your last post, I'm in Maryland, the car must be close as you mention MD/VA/PA. Where is the car, and are you interested in having a NICO member look at it? I actually might be a buyer based on condition, I always wanted an active car. Well?

Post by **wushuhp** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:15 pm

haha hey people gotta make $$ raping might be the only way they can make it............how ever if i DO sell my car i will post pix and more details........alot more........but what i'm asking is how much do u'll think the suspension system is worth?????

Post by **wushuhp** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:15 pm

yes i also live in maryland....i live in mont CO. near rockville.......i took it up to a body shop in silver spring.......nd they have a radio broadcast thing where they search all inventories of all junk yards around for parts....he called in nd asked his friend to broad cast out for a 94-95 q45 bumper...got a call back 30 min later saying no such luck :-(

eveyrthing in the car is in working condition.......it's a VEYR clean car...nd i think my dad repaird the CD player.........the temperature control sytem is a lil screwy....*think we got it like that*.....but sum times it will only work on HIGH nd stop after that nd continue blasting at high....nd other times it works fine....

Post by **AZhitman** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:15 pm

It'd be a good project car. However, I'm certain it hasn't been properly maintained.

A 95 Q should have had AT LEAST the following recently: Trans flush, trans cooler, underplenum hoses, TB/fuel rail cleaning, new NGK's, knock sensors, O2 sensors, cooling system flush, brake system flush, rearend fluid changed, psf changed, brakes, new tires.... It'll need new accumulators (at $1200 each) pretty soon as well.

That electrical stuff is gonna be a nightmare.

Post by **wushuhp** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:15 pm

yyeeeaaa electrical stuff is always a night mare :-(....nd basing off what you told me....i don't beleive my car is properly maintained anymore :-(............jeeez after i sold my Q i was planing on gettin a legend........no such hope huh?

The active suspension is usually a subtraction from value since it costs so much to repair. If it's working properly (which would be very rare) then it's worthless (add zero, subtract zero) but if it's broken, then it's going to make resale even harder.

Post by **wushuhp** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:15 pm

yeea there is nothing wrong w/ the suspension....it is FINE...no damage to that :-)

Post by **Jesda** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:15 pm

ARGH!

Pretend you are writing a newspaper article. Use punctuation, capitalization if you want, proper spelling, some grammar, and maybe a dash of coherence.

This isnt your AIM profile. This is a forum. WHY DO YOU TYPE LIKE THAT? WHY?!?!?!?

Post by **elwesso** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:15 pm

The suspension is basically worthless........ Its not going to make a 5000 car worth 10,000....... Just not that great...... if it would last the life of the car, then it'd be good..... To me, I wouldnt get an A model, because of the high repair costs...... There are enough things to worry about on a Q, and one more major thing would be too much for me!!!

And I agree, if the depreciation on these cars werent so bad, then I wouldnt be owning this...... Try finding a decent 94 LS400 with 121k for 5500...... You dont buy these cars for their resale value (in fact that is almost a "con" to buying one)...... That being said, I think your best move is to fix it up decent enough to your tastes, and then drive it forever...... It will take much more than 10k to get the car in good enough condition to sell at 10k......

I would pay maybe 3000 for the car, and use it as a parts car for my Q......

But if you do sell it, get it fixed as cheaply and easily as possible, and pass it on as cheaply as you can.......

Post by **wushuhp** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:15 pm

ahhhhhhhhh shows you how much time i spend on AIM :-)

Post by **elwesso** » Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:15 pm

And just so you know..... you wont know if the suspension is in good condition without having it checked out and/or riding in a PERFECT Q45a.......
