pricing my talon before i sell..

I have not been on here for a while between school and everything else (beer) but I'm planning to sell my talon this summer and buy something with more room to get me from my off-campus apartment and my house easier.
I know kbb puts me somewhere around 2800$ But I'm sure other enthusiasts/potential buyers may be more generous than kbb.
I recently was in a front end collision so I had some body work done and it was restored to 1992 caliber, replacing the radiator, hood, and front bumper with fresh arctic white paint to match.
The a/c is broken, its not holding a charge. One mechanic said hes positive it's a small leak and another mechanic said hes $800 positive its the compressor and thats how much he quoted. Also, the window motors are shot, the driver is managable but the passenger definitely needs to be replaced.
New stuff I've put in since purchasing in my 1992 Talon TSi AWD in march of 2006 from the original owner are:
Clutch
Slave cylinder
2.5 Turboback piping Walker Highflow Cat/APC bullet muffler
DEJONTOOL upperintercooler piping
DEJONTOOL ram air
K&N filter
GReddy RS bov
new plugs and wires
brakes were recently done
rotors were recently done
MTX 6x9 speakers in rear
Alpine TypeS in doors
JVC headunit
Timing Belt is brand new
17in White ADR Reactions in Wanli Tires


There are roughly 75,xxx miles on it currently and I bought it with 64,xxx. I bought it my senior year of high school during the spring and since have gone away to college not bringing it with me so it only has endured roughly 12 months of driving under my will.

I'm hoping from past expierence you fellas can give me some advice on what I should get back for it.

I will post some recent pictures I have sometime later today.

Thanks,
Mike

2800 (max) and work your way down. A wrecked car that is modded is not worth more than KBB value.

Re: pricing my talon before i sell..

Is it AWD? 6 bolt or 7? Did you have the whole car resprayed or just the front? I hate to say it, but with that many problems and the fact that its been in an accident I think you'd be doing pretty good to get much about $2000. I'd put it up for $2500 and take $2250 I think if I were you.

I think you might get more than 2000 if you sell it in parts.

Parts is definately going to produce more money. As is, I would say you'd be lucky to recieve $2k.

Re: pricing my talon before i sell..

yes it's awd, im not sure it its 6 or 7 it was manufactured in march of 1992 i believe. The front was the only part painted but you wouldnt know it because the older paint is just as glossy as the new paint, it *sparkles* under the summer sun.



ps these pictures were before the accident and sorry for the shady ness of the trees these were taken with a HP 1.0 megapixel brick digital camera

and i dont really have the time to sell it in parts
,
also, the car looks better currently, than in these pictures in the front area, these headlights are kind of foggy and lacking their luster

Re: pricing my talon before i sell..

It looks nice. If you were closer I may have considered it. Still NY?

Car looks in great shape, but it's 16 years old, you won't get much for it.
