How much would you pay for my car?

As my car is quite heavily modified, standard book prices don't really give a fair representation of its value as I'd never sell it for book price.

As fellow entunsisats, if my car was for sale, what you realistically be happy to pay for it?

97 UKDM vti
112,000 miles on th clock
Engine rebuild 25,000 miles ago. With stock bottom end, fully rebuild accord type r head and inlet. Dyno'd at 228bhp & 174lb/ft
Hondata S300 ecu
Hytec replica header
Greddy evo 2 exhaust
Replica mugen spoiler, spats & bumper
Motegi edition side skirts
Civic type r (ep3) wheels
Accord type r updated brakes
Meister R coilovers (full adjustable)
Type s strut brace
CDA air intake
Type s carbon fibre effect trim
Honda sport limited edition seats
Limited production red carpet
2ws conversion

Im not looking for silly numbers, if you saw it for sale on an auction for example, as fellow entusiasts knowing the value of the work which has been done what would be your highest bid?

Knew I'd missed something; it's got an M2B4 limited slip differential gearbox and a light weight flywheel too

Granted its got alot of good parts under the shell, but to get near the £3k folk are suggesting, you would need to sort the paint/bodywork imho.

As it sits, i would say closer to £2k.

Agreed- £1800-£2k absolute tops given the bodywork

I have learnt over the years that you never ever get the money back on 'investments'. A totally standard minter will always fetch more...

Sadly the 4th & 5th gen ludes dont have the cult status of dc2/5 ITR or EK9's thus minters are few & far between. As such, residuals are never going to be that strong
