You'd be better off parting it out, and selling it for $21k. Unfortunately you just have the sport package, so you don't have a lot of room to make deals. I think you can get a 04 GT for $23-25k. And all your mods do is decrease the value, unless you sell it to someone who is into the same thing. Good luck. I'd say I'd miss you, but you've never showed up at any of the meets, so theres nothing to miss.

You'd lose a ton of money trying to sell the car with all those appearance mods. For sure you should turn it back to stock, sell the car and sell the parts separately.

part it out. Im sure you get good money for those parts. Also you repainted your entire vehicle which hurts its overall value. Like what everybody said you can salvage what you have by just selling all those parts.

parting it out will be a lot trouble, and leave the car nothing valuable, i don't know, i was thinking everything on, and ask for $28K, that's give some room to negociate.

If you had a potential buyer, they would just laugh at you. You seriously need to think about the going rate for a BASE model ($23 MAX), then deduct another few grand for all the mods that you put on that potentially voided the warrenty. You will probably get $18 for it, in its current form. And don't you have the extreme dimensions kit? Might as well deduct another $2k. Part that sucker out, and you may be $22k. Sorry to break the news to you, but resale isn't what we all hoped it would be. Not when the market is flooded with them.

Resale for Rx-8 is pretty shoddy. At least here in So Cal. I saw some 10k miles used Rx-8s GTs for 23.5k. Base models used about 21k, and Sports about 22k.

y r u selling anyways?

i no longer have the stock rims. and i really think it's a lot of work to get it back to stock form. with 2K in kits and 4K in rims tires and rotors, there's 6K on the mod , as if my car is only in fair condition and it's only a sport package , i'll give it $21K, plus 5K instead of 6K in mods because everything in great shape. does $26K sounds reasonable to you?

still too much. The best you will get with the car looking like that is 20-21k. I know it sounds harsh but thats the truth. go see what a dealer will pay, and you will see exactly what your looking at.

Let me know if you want some stock parts, I know people who still have their stock parts.

Your better off selling it peice by peice. Sorry man.

Good luck.

Mods, you're going to get around 1/2 if you're lucky for the value of those items... Sport you're going to get around 19k or so for Sports Pack, mods maybe 2.5k at most. So about 21.5k-22k maybe.

You have to understand that when people buy cars, they want the most option on a car for the highest resale value. Which means the GT with Navs. will have a better value than just GT, and GT better than Sports, than base..etc. It gets exponentially less as you get lower in the type of class of the car. Imagine what a base model would look like.

For instance.. check out this guy's listing, he's been trying to sell this for over a month now on Craigslist at 20k... 11k miles on it, no luck.

He'll probably end up getting 17k maybe, since it's Base model.

If you really want to make money, part the car. Parting cars out you'll actually make something... image parting the entire car, you'll see what I mean.

From a buyer's point of view, I'd want my Rx-8 as stock as possible. I HATE having mods on a car I'm about to buy. As someone above stated, most people think that modding a car will increase a car's value. In reality, its the opposite. I don't car if the Rx-8 produces 350HP. I'd rather buy a stock one if theyre both the same price.

In most cases, if someone wants a modded car, they want to be the ones modding and selecting the wheels/bodykit/rice equipment themselves.

I've seen 600 hp vipers sell for the same price as a higher mileage stock viper (same year, same condition). Cars are not investments. I would seriously pick up a set of used stock wheels and parts from ebay, and sell the other parts seperately. It might be a hassle, but you'll

A) Make more money

B) Make more money faster.

Good luck.

it's about a 20k car .. thats including your mods .. blame mazda for the 05 deals .. my advice .. wait for the 05 stock to sell out before you list yours

and you have to remember appearance mods are opinionated .. some ppl may love it and some wont even consider it because of the look
