DSM's Market Value~

I've been thinking about selling my car for awhile now just to get a daily driver / cruiser for work nowadays. Not really sure if I want to sell it or not, but just curious how much would you guys pay for or what is the the market value for DSM's nowadays? (I'm not selling. Just wondering).

I know my car may have alot of mileage, but the engine is still pretty damn good and strong (least in my opinion), no compression check yet but it sure does still feel strong.

Just a basic red 95 GSX with the 97-99 Front Bumper / Headlights.
The whole Apex'i GT-Spec Exhaust and downpipe system.
Intake pipe + Filter
RRE Upper IC Pipe + Greddy Type-S BOV.
E-Prom ECU
3 Gauge Pillar with the Air / Fuel blinkers and turbo gauge.
Apex'i Turbo Timer.
18" OZ Rally Ultraleggera wheels + some winter wheels.

Car is pretty clean overall, except with a dent on the roof, which isn't much noticeable from afar and can be taken care of easily. Also it does have about 150k on the clock. Whole interior is leather, and the car has the stock 6 CD changer.

How much would my car go for? 6, 5, 4k? Have been debating nowadays to sell the car.

Here's a picture.

I'm pretty sure in the future, i'll buy another dsm anyways. Once an owner, always an owner.

4-5k if it is the stock engine. Really depends on the buyer though.

You could return it to stock and sell it for a little less and obviously sell the aftermarket stuff.

Re: DSM's Market Value~

i bought my 95 for 2500, only thing that it had on it was a 2.5 in cat back exhaust, it had 183,000 miles on it, and then at 184,000 miles the rod bearing said fuck you and locked up the motor. Now the car has been sitting for 5 monthes. Oh well i guess it happens.

I would do as suggested above, return the car back to stock, sell for around 3 and then sell the aftermarket stuff seperate. You always lose your ass when you sell a car with aftermarket parts on it.

There is the normal rusty bolts and stuff from driving winters, but I wash it like twice a week during winter. Sometimes more. Under still looks pretty clean. Not perfect, but definitely not horrible. Still good. Then theres one minor minor one on the front right fender. Its really minor though, you wouldn't be able to see anything unless up close.

So hmm, around 4-5k. Makes me wanna sell it, buy a cheap gas saver, and drive it to death while i'm out working lol.

Thanks for the input guys. I didn't know how much my car would be worth. I personally would like 6k lol, but from seeing alot of people sell their cars, ghost of crankwalk, and people's views of broken dsms, I don't know if I could even get 4k.
