Well I have an 1989 S13 w/ a modified SR20 and was wondering what you guys think its worth. The body is a little rough, but nothing a body shop cant fix easily. My plans were to work from the drivetrain then to the interior then to the body, but kinda got stopped in between the drivetrain and interior. The only body work Ive done was replace the hatch since the other was rusted out under the spoiler. I'm about to move to Alaska and its not feasible to take it with me so I'll probably have to sell it. Goals were to make around 350whp with it and set it up for autocross or drift. I'm pretty sure the motor will make the horsepower now just never had the chance to get it dyno tuned. Anyways a list of my mods...

Any input or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Also wondering if it would be a good idea to paint it first or just sell it as is. I figure someone who likes to work on cosmetics and exterior would like this car, but not sure. They may want to deal with that themselves so it is how they want it. Dont want to put more money into it and get hardly anything for it.

Nice car. I dont think the paint would really be that big of a deal. It's got a good set up on the motor and I think most people would be able to look past scatches because of the engine work.

Was hoping to get around $6500. You guys think thats reasonable? I know how much its worth to me but I'm sure that ppl wont want to pay it. Anyhow I figure $6500 is fair IMO but want a good price to list it at that someone is willing to pay. Sorry not interested in another car at the moment, need the money to set up when I move. Thanks for the replies.

I listed it in the classifieds section. Do cars like this sell very well on ebay?

I think 6500 is a good deal on the car.

From what Ive seen, these cars do ok on ebay, there is a good amount of competition. Looking at all of the 240s on ebay, it is difficult to find a clean stock one.

Im also thinking about selling my car, I just have to fix a few things here and there. Im planning on using Ebay too. G/L with sale!
