How much would you pay!!!!????

GSXracerGuy · #1 05-29-2006, 11:35 AM

I decided......I am going to sell my GSX.

So I need to get some ideas on how much I could sell it for to see if it would be worth selling or just garaging it somewhere.

How much would you pay for:

1995 GSX, M/T, 108,000 Miles
BRAND NEW black paint job
BRAND NEW Exedy stage 2 organic clutch
no interior defects
BRAND NEW Timing Belt
No leaks in the engine at all
Brand new bosch platimun spark plugs
Strong Turbo with no shaft play

The Engine is mostly stock except of course for a new MAS intake and plugs and a tial BOV
Basically a perfect GSX with just some miles on it.

Give me some ideas on how much I could sell this for. I don't have pictures because the paint isn't done yet..but if someone is going to buy it ...I would get it done.

I just need to know if I should keep it or not

Lemme know!

I would probably pay about 6gs for it if everything is in excellent condition. I'm sure you would probably be able to get a little more though maybe upwards of 7gs. When I went to a dealership to find a gsx they had a 95gsx with about 90k miles on it basically all stock and they wanted 9gs for it. I guess the price would all depend on where you live. Where I live(southern PA) turboed dsms are kinda rare.

Around here you could get anywhere from $5-5.5k assuming everything is as you say it is. The car books for about $4.5k, but turbo DSM's are rare so you would get top dollar in good condition (Wisconsin). A lot depends on location.

On a side note, get those damn bosch platinums out of there if you know what's good for you. Seriously.

why you want to sell it ? cause some kid broke in your car ??

No the cd player is replaceable. The reason I want to sell it is so I can stop focusing on things I can buy for it and focus on other things in life. I figure if I get a honda civic or a new taurus or something, I will never have to worry about the car, or where to go to fix it if something happens (since no one works on them except some dealerships PLUS the fact I don't know hot to do most things on them). I need to save up now instead of putting my money into an eclipse so when I am older I can own a porsche or a ferrari or something.,..along with a nice house

P.S. What's wrong with platinums all my friends said they are good?

Not in turbo cars.

GSXracerGuy · #7 05-29-2006, 02:39 PM

So they aren't good for turbo cars because they can hurt something or they aren't good for turbo cars because they aren't good enough?

What plugs should I get then?

turbo cars foul plug out really easy and boschs are kinda shity and they will brake in hafe really easy they have even did this in my GS i had to go have them drilled out. use ngk IMO and thats what everyone else is gana tell you also

Turbo cars will eat platinum plugs really fast, and they just don't do well.

If your under 15 psi, use NGK BRP6ES.

If your over 15 psi, use NGK BRP7ES.

that's funny...NGK's were in there when I put the boschs in. It was havin some problems when I accelerated and it did fix the problem. Would auto zone have those NGK's or would I need to get them offline?

blk_srt · #11 05-29-2006, 06:38 PM

I got mine at napa. SBR sells them also

Shouldn't be hard to find at all...on or offline.

So overall do you think it would be worth it to put almost new everything on there (breaks, timing belt, paint, plugs, etc) and then trying to sell it? Or should I just garage it and save it for days I get pissed and need something quick to drive and take my anger out on?

I thought you said it had a new timing belt and paint already?

That's my vote. And if you do decide to sell it, shame on you for thinking about a Honduh or a damn Taurus. At least get a Cobalt SS or something that would be even comparable to a turbo DSM, even if it is on a scale 1/8th the size.
