You've heard it a million times before - how much is my car worth if selling?

[James]

Sorry to repeat a thread that has happened 5 million times, but my spec is different so this is almost justified

 

My car is a 1994 SZ in 040 white. It has had a full TT conversion which will be BPU when I buy a first decat.

 

The downside to it is that it was in a little front end bump and was made a Cat D. Everything was completely fixed and I contested the cat D as much as possible as they didn't really assess the car at all. In fixing it I changed the front crossmember and replaced the bumper, driver side wing, bonnet and headlights. Everything else was completely fine and there is no misalignment.

 

As for the full spec:

 

Fully Rebuilt 2JZ-GTE ~11K Miles Ago

W58 5 speed manual gearbox

UK Spec brakes all-round (fitted 2k miles ago)

RSR Stainless Steel Cat Back Exhaust

2nd Decat

Any help appreciated

What gearbox is under that TRD Knob?

[j_jza80]

If its an auto i'd say £3k, maybe a little more. If its a 6 speed manual I'd say around £6k to £7k at the moment.

[James]

Oh sorry, vital part! W58 5 speed manual.

[johnny g]

£3500-5000 I'd say

[j_jza80]

Around £5k then I reckon. You'd be much better off breaking it for parts, though it sounds like a nice car so that would be a shame.

 

Unfortunately CATD, though often very minor, does have that stigma attached and people expect to pay much less.

[James]

Thanks chaps, that shall do! Not planning on selling up or breaking any time soon, just looking for a little insight from others.

 

Until I have the difference available for a nice and fresh TT6/single, I'll be stuck with this bad boy
