VERY long story short - i may have to sell if my mrs is pregnant! what should i value my lude at if i do decide to sell??

a very very quick description

1995 bb4 with lsd
fujitsubo catback+ebay stainless mani
tien coilovers
oz supertourismo's wrapeed in f1's
civic type r seats
snap off steering wheel
front+rear strut braces
bri's cooling plate
afc 2

milage shows 139k but it was imported with 125kkms on the clock and has been resprayed last year so no fading what so ever, cambelt done at the same time.

mot till end of july and 4 months tax and the one and only bad point with it is a small scuff/dent on the front bumper where i stupidly went into my garage wall lol

now what im not sure of is weather or not to put it back to standard to sell it then sell the nice bits off seperately?!

help!

we all know that the market the way it is you will be lucky to see bloody good money fast

with all the special bits you have got you would be a fool to let it go for less than £1750 but people not in the know will not pay that

so don't let them have the juicy bits for free

i would give them standard for the standard price they are willing to pay and sell the juicy bits on to people who would appricate them

I'd have said 1500 bud, but ull have to wait for the right person to want it.

Put it back to standard and prob 6-700 in parts and sell the car for 1100? It would be a shame but better for you imo.

yeah thats what im worried about with selling it with the bits! i mean im going to grab a mugen front bumper from dino this weekend, id probably just be wasting my money if i had it sprayed and fitted then tried to sell the car as people just looking for a lude probably wouldn't appreciate how rare some of the bits on my car are

Totally agree with dbo, back to standard and sell on the good parts. Unless you don't mind holding out for an informed buyer.

I'd keep the lude and put a baby seat in the back

I've seen smaller cars with child seats in

how many times have you seen on forums people saying they have bought a lude from a mug, real cheap and got this ubber rare part for a fraction of the cost of what is was worth?

do you really want to be the "mug" in the story????

if we could sell our lude's for the parts/time/effort/tlc/love and feelings they would cost a bloody fortune
