selling my brz, thoughts on price?

[ekaj]

Hey guys, I've decided to part ways with my BRZ. I'll miss her, but I don't need the car unfortunately, so I think that I'd rather become debt free.

Specs:

- 2013 BRZ Limited
- 14.5k miles
- Extended warranty (lol)
- OEM Audio+
- Kartboy Short Shifter
- Whiteline positive shift kit
- Shift springs
- legal/35 tint

I've taken it in for all of the TSBs, and as you can tell, the car is nearly bone-stock, except for some shift mods. I garage queened the shit out of her. She's been clay-barred and waxed religiously every 6 months with Collonite 845 and polished once when I bought it with [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-Mirror-Glaze-Ultra-Cut-Compound/dp/B001O7PNW8"]Meguiars M105[/ame]. Obviously none of that really matters, but I know there are some people out there that like buying cars that have been babied like crazy so they know they aren't getting some riced out POS.

Anyways, I'm thinking of pricing it at $23.5k as a starting price. KBB and Edmunds price this car at around $22.5k and Carmax carries a couple '13 BRZs for ~$23-25k with way more miles. Am I smoking crack or is this pretty good? I was thinking the mods kind of add value in a way to make it worth it.

unfortunately mods only decrease value of car. Always post higher since CL ppl will lowball the Sh*t outta you.

You can sell the OEM+ for close to $1k easily if you wait on it long enough, but honestly I don't think you'll get anything over $20k for the whole thing.

Go to car max, get an offer. Raise that offer by 10-15% up to 20% and that is what it is worth. They can sell at a higher price mostly because they have the volume, selection, and customer walk in's, etc, and have lenders/finance people who are on site. While your car is private party, the buyer would need a loan from a bank, or cash straight up. Much harder to sell.

I did that actually. Carmax wanted $21k so I decided to up it a couple grand. Honestly though I think that I'm just going to revert to stock 100% and part out the OEM Audio+ and SS and sell it to someone else who may want it on the forums.

Take it! or ask for 500-1k more. Tell him you need a 2-3 days to think about it and if he could "lock" you in at that price.

Go home, pull all your parts, sell for ~1k
21k +1k(parts) +500(bargaining) =22.5 or 22 pretty good deal since you wanted 23.5

Private party buyers need loans or cash, much harder than walking up to carmax and having lenders there helping you out.

Also take note the 2016's are coming out in the next few months, as soon as those hit the dealers, your car will be another year older and worth less.

ps. lmk how much you want for the oem+ audio.

I'm seriously considering taking that price and running with it. Carmax is pretty much non-haggleable, so the 21k price is fixed, but it's a great offer for no bullshit. Still, its 2.5k less than what I really want, so I have to weigh if it's worth it to give private party a shot, though reception seems to be that my desired price is pretty high, so idk. I'm sure that other dealers won't take the trade-in unless I'm getting another vehicle, so I think that I may want to just to walk away from this one. Debating it.

I honestly feel Swarb is right. Take that Carmax deal. There's been a guy trying to sell off his leased? owned? Grey twin here for MONTHS with under 2000 miles and no one has bit at all.

Hurts him that he has mods and refused to remove them originally (think he changed his tune recently) but it's very telling off the market for twins in terms of dealing with private buyers.

[garfull]

take the deal. this is a good offer. any other dealer will likely give you under 20k.

if you want to wait it out you might get a little more but it could take awhile. i sold mines for 24.5k a few months ago but mines was way more loaded too. however i also had it listed for over 8 months and every offer was ~20k.

weigh out the finance, insurance, hopefully no registration due, and the depreciation vs the probability of getting closer to your original asking price.
