I have to sell my car. Can I survive without it?

Maybe this is just an attitude I have, but when I see someone say "mods WORTH $15k" I walk away. The mods may have cost $15k but they are not worth anything near that. That single word tells me that the owner over-values his car and its really not worth inspecting as he will expect too much for it.

From my experience selling cars with mods, the mods may help clinch the sale but will not really impact on the sale price. I reckon you will stuggle to get any bites at $15k. If it were my car, I would change back some of the less painful mods to stock and sell them on here or Vortex, then advertise the car for $12k willing to negotiate to $11k.

sorry mate but you can nearly get a mk4 GTi for that price and its at least 7 years younger than yours with about 45,000 less km's on the clock....

$12g's would be more realistic, i've been watching VR's for a while and the ones priced around wont budge for months until you drop the price... the best ones sell for around 12 or a bit less and yours is up there...

If this is going to turn into a vulture swoop thread for all his parts, ill take the air intakes, remus zorst and that tasty lookin front strut brace

God luck but that is way too much. Ill be happy with 8.5k for my late 96 with 145k on it.

Start parting it out. Have you got all the original bits?

I would try my best not to sell it. I would try alternative methods of getting the funds. Besides its your pride and joy right? Its something you get enjoyment out of and its your passion...so i wouldnt do it. No one else can appreciate that car as much as you! Even if you got 15 for it, you would still feel out of pocket and you would still miss the car....

This is the truth. Its why i wont sell my car even after i decide on a replacement. Even tho it really is starting to get long in the tooth. Ive put thousands of dollars into it. And there are probly still thousands to come. And for what? its not worth anything now. and it will be worth even less then.. Thats cars theyre never an investment. So long as they bring u some joy.
