    Default Sell the vs or not? What is it worth?

    Hey guys,
    have been thinking about selling my vs while it still has good k's on it and saving up for something else, maybe vt or something.
    The car is 96 series 2 executive, 175000k's
    5speed manual, clutch and flywheel only 10 000k's old
    new kyb shortened gas shocks/pedders ultra low rear IRS
    front fe2, best whitleline link pins/ polyurethane bushes
    bendix pads all round ABS brakes
    2.5inch cat back. s/c cold air induction
    k&n filter, just serviced, plugs leads oil, filter
    vt ss wheels full set of 5, good tyres all round

    any idea of what it is worth? Also, any recomended models that are coming down in price?
    Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Ahh ok, Sadly dude they aren't worth that much anymore..... For your car you would get between 4 and 6 grand I think...

    There is no such thing as stupid questions, Only stupid people.

    if the paint is in top-notch condition and being a manual, you'll be looking at $4000-6000.

    redbook is crap. always undervalues. I was told my V6 VY S Pack (only had 53,000kms) was worth 10,900.
    I bought it for 18,900 2 years before I sold it when it had 35,000kms on it and ended up selling it for 13,800.

    Heres a big "**** you" to redbook.

    you'll be lucky to get $6k for it. I reckon anywhere up to $6k is your target area, but I think you'll be looking at closer to $4 for it. Not many people will spend that much on an old car these days...
