Debating on selling my 2015 FRS RS1. Should I - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

jeffs42885 · 08-02-2021, 10:32 AM

I just bought a Corvette Z06, and I don't need two toys. I absolutely love this car but I dont think I will have the time to drive it.

The details -

2015 FRS RS1, Auto, third owner (I think..)
75000 Miles
Body - No dings/dents/scratches
Interior is mint
Paint, i would say is 7/10. It could probably use a good two step correction. I had a one step + graphene done a few months ago and it looks AMAZING.
1 Accident, front bumper/lip/fender - Fixed by JPEuro

Interior-

CF / Red Steering Wheel
Alcantara - (Swedit) - Shift Boot, Ebrake Boot, Center Console
Factory TRD - Alcantara Gauge Hump/Radio Trim
RaceSeng Auto Shift knob + Matching NRG ebrake

Performance-

Tomei UEL, Megan Racing OP, Invidia Front pipe going to the factory TRD exhaust
Perrin Inlet
OFT
Optima Red Top (Not really Performance but yaknow)

Suspension-

Factory TRD Springs
Koni Yellows on all four corners
SPC Adjustable Rear Trailing Arms
Perrin Solid Engine Mounts
Whiteline Diff Bushing
Whiteline Trans Bushing
EBC Red Stuff Pads, Stainless Lines, new rotors (All less than 1000 miles)
Cusco Strut Tower Bar (Ends Powder Coated Red)

Visual-

Morimoto Headlight Assemlies from TRS
APR CF Front Ducts
Valenti Black Tails with matching ebrake
CF Mirror Caps
SARD LSR Style Wing

Wheels are GramLight 57 DR's wrapped in Firestone Indy 500's.

How Do I value this? Vroom Offered me 14,000. I think thats way too low, and if i did go the vroom/carvana route, they wouldn't get most of those mods.

Pics attached, feedback appreciated.

Welcome to used cars. The value is about $14k on the open market/tradein. Mods mean nothing unless you manage to sell privately to someone that wants those specific mods. And many won't.

Selling private you can probably get 18 for it, but that’s with a lot of patience to find the right buyer, I wouldn’t set my sights higher than that.

That’s IF the mods are desired. Most people will avoid a modded car unless it’s a deal or the mods are really minor. Your car won’t pass smog in states that require it, and the tail lights aren’t DOT legal, so that hurts your # of potential buyers too.

I would have to sell the corvette. You have to be at least 61 to legally own one here.

Good luck with whatever you do.

Put back to stock as much as possible to sell the aftermarket parts and sell the car to Carvana or Carmax while the used market is high.

If you're not going to drive it - sell it.

Your RS1 looks spectacular, but the Vette would be a clear choice for a toy.

As for 14K, that's a joke in this insane market. I'm seeing all manner of absolute crap cars with well over 100K miles sell for over 16K all day long...sell private.

Ernest72 · 08-08-2021, 11:47 AM

I would sell soon as well. This market is likely going to cool off as people run out of saved money and the supply side is fixed.

Yes. Sell it. Now.
