Default How much is my classic worth?

I can't seem to afford my import anymore and am considering of selling it. Can anyone tell me how much I can ask for?

(There are still some niddles that need sorting))

Spec:

1993 (L) Subaru Impreza WRX Type RA Light Weight
Mileage: 104000km
10 Months Tax & Mot
Full Respray in sonic Blue (from white)
17" BK Alloy Wheels
Quick Shift
White Dial kit
Bailey Dup valve
Blitz Power Induction Kit
Afterburner Vortex
Flamer Kit
Decat centre section
STI Style rear spoiler
Front Strut Brace
Front EBC Red Stuff brake pads
Front EBC drilled Brake Pads
Carbon Fibre Bonnet
Carbon Fibre STI Bonnet Scoop
Carbon Fibre Twin Gauge Pod
Carbon Fibre Tax Disc Holder
Carbon Fibre Fire Extinguisher

I have since owning the car face lifted the following parts:

Front Bumper
Front Grill
P1 front Splitter
Fog light covers

Lighting:

Reat STI lights
Front Crystal clear lights
Crystal repeater, corner and front indicator lighs

Security:

The usual Clifford
Clifford Prox sensor
Tracker Monitor

I have got all the previous MOT's and paper work showing that the cambelt, clutch, oil, plugs etc have regurarly been changed since it has been in the uk.

I have also during the last 2 months changed the cambelt, waterpump and serviced the car.

It looks nice but concerned with the wireing hanging down by pedals

I would offer around £2.5k to £3.5k....i think it would have been worth a little more if you had left it light weight without putting all thoses extras on it.

Nice looking car anyway

I'd have to agree, if you'd left it more standard it would prob be worth more. Mods rarely add value.

I'd take off as much of the mods as possible & sell them separately...

Make the car a bit closer to standard if possible - maybe offer custom bits on a PX basis...

Yes this could work but do not expect a quick sale nor thousands of pounds more....market is crap at the moment

I would try selling her as it is cos lots of people may like the mods, unlike the old farts on here......and if they dont then strip it

I would say you need to get them wires, splitter and cd player sorted in order to get that much mate

I have seen some clean models go for that kind of money

I think you'd be very lucky to get £4k to be honest, I would guess you'd be looking at £2.5-£3k tops in the current market.

If you tidy up the wiring, put some better looking wheels on (IMO those let it down), put the old lights back on with the old exhaust, then sell seperately the STI rears, exhaust, DV , induction kit, wheels etc you should get back £4k total

If the guages are'nt even wired in them take them out and sell on too, in fact take them out anyway!!

I think the car looks good (personal opinion) ignore the doom merchants who think it is worth f*ck all, if it's in good nick mechanically you should get ypur asking price. Funny isn't it that them who tell you it's worth peanuts are wanting to do a deal. . Cynical or what?

Don't get me wrong... I like most of the mods on that car - I just think you would get more for it selling the mods seperately - especially if you have all the old parts already.

Would seem like a no-brainer to me.

And I am not after any deals

I think that compared to this one - Autotrader link which doesn't appear to be a bad, un modified car, yours will struggle to reach £2000.

Sorry
