whats the fd worth???

[cyman]

im sort of 50/50 as to whether i should sell the rex on or not but really dont have a clue what i should ask. some of you probably saw it at japfest (its the black one shaunwill couldnt catch but i think he was a bit slow that day  heheheheh ). the car is running 360-400fwp and still has battery up fornt and a/c fitted and working.
 

 
its got a rotechnicks streetported engine thats done between 12-14k miles now, it gets oil change and plugs prob every 1500-2000miles. i will of course get a compression check done before i sell it but for the purpose of this thread i would like to assume it is in the 7\'s which is what i would hope im still getting.
 
 
heres a list of what it has
 
 
engine:
 
 
to4e single turbo kit turbo rebuilt about 500 miles ago
850 injectors all round
new coil packs
hks twin spark
re wired fuel pump
re wired ignition
bosch 044 fuel pump
greddy 3 core front mount
koyo high capacity ally rad
solid nylon engine mounts
re worx silenced mid pipe
stainless single exit cat back
lower temp fc fan sensor
racing inlet air temp sensor
greddy inlet elbow
apexi pfc and commander
 
 
theres bound to be more that i have forgotten
 
 

suspension and brakes
 
 
full ohlins coilovers  (non adjustable but re valved for the uk)
pillow ball top mounts
racing beat anti rollbars all round with brace at front
feed front strut brace
new pillow balls throughout
full poly bush all round some of which are motorsport grade
18 " alloys
toyo t1r\'s  225 fron  235 rear less than 2000 miles done
ksport 356mm 8 pot front brakes
braided lines all round
black diamond discs on rear
hawk pads on rear
ferodo ds2500 on front less than 500 miles done
master cylinder stopper
rbf600 racing fluid
rebuilt gearbox at cost of £550 approx 2000miles ago
act 6 puk sprung racing clutch kit and new pilot bearing
gearbox and diff running synth silkolene oil
poly diff mounts fitted
 
body and interior

re a front bumper and bonnet
bomex rear bumper  (this is cracking and i have replacement standard one to fit)
mazdaspeed rear spoiler
leather passenger seat
mazdaspeed drivers seat
smaller steering wheel

the car recently had its map tweeked at reworx when i fitted the single. its also recently had 4 wheel alignment to the specs found on the forum.
the only downside i can highlight on the car is that most of it is still original paintwork and whilst it polishes up well and looks realy nice there are blemeshes and chips when you really look closely but then it is a 19 year old car.
 
 
what do you guys reckon its worth?

Hard to say as you will have a figure in mind ... and as a buyer they want the lowest price and as a seller you want the highest price

Nice rex as looks in good condition .

[Grant Monkhouse]

As sy has said you have got to put it up for a price of which someone wants to buy it.

I just sold my car, I originallly put it up for 6500 but didn\'t have any serious offers. Dropped it down to 5500 and had quite a lot of calls and it sold for that amount.

My car car was very similar in spec to yours apart from my rebuild had only 5,000 miles and still had the twins, but had everything ready for a single swap, injectors etc.

Just remember what you want for it, and what somebody will pay for it is a different number.

cheers for the feedback.
 
i know its so hard pricing these at the mo as there is such a difference in prices and specs.
 
if i broke mine i could prob get back around 7-7.5k ish but of course that will take time to do. but seeing as its a single with around the 400bhp mark and mechanicly its on the ball as far as money spent and make and quality of parts that ive fitted.
 
as always its the same old thing.... how long is a piece of string  lol
