What's it worth...i'm over it...

[Stretchomatic]

hey guys just wondering what sorta price tag you'd put on a 01 model 5 speed manual vx s-pack, in black.

it's got 20" xhp boost five spoke chrome rims.
stereo can be left in and consists of splits front and rear and a 12" sub in the boot, all amped, runs 118 dB on speakers, 127 dB for average song with subs.
cold air intake (standard) k&n filter, new plugs and leads.
2.5" VX SS exhaust system, changed just enough to make it growl, not really loud.
Few minor problems like cracked fog light from old owner and busted rear air vents (old owners kids).
Few big problems like the big dents in the drivers side door (dont turn off traction in the wet i've learned) and a clunk in the front drivers side.

other then that pretty stock, exedy heavy duty clutch and flywheel too and fairly new brake pads.

its at natrad now getting its thermos checked...so i'm feeling over it...

ive tried to be honest in description, this is technically an expressions of interest page. if i could id like to invest in a house or something soon and this car is holding me back.

cheers...

i reckon ask for $10-12,000

[Stretchomatic]

.......guh.......

[s_ikari2015]

For a manual S pack, you'd be lucky to get $9,000 for it. Even with all the fruit. But yeah, $10,000 ono would get some interest.

[Reaper]

For one like yours that is no end of problems I'd offer around $5k.

dents in doors, other damage, suggests.... thrashed = poor price

[Tom_1569]

Also maybe neglect to tell people how the dent in the door got their, dont be dishonest just forget to mention HOW it got their, but do mention its their. By saying dont turn traction control off in the wet, oviously means you were doing burnouts drifting what ever and you dont care for the car.

[wrx884]

how many kms on the clock?

How so, I do burnouts and drift in my car and I care for it...

Ask for about $20k. Plenty of idiots seem to think that a manual gearbox will double the value of their VT/VX, hell sometimes more than double.

There were a few on eBay and still some on this forum asking for ridiculous prices for the M5 VT/VX's.

I would much rather buy an auto one and have strippers install a manual gearbox for me.

[Stretchomatic]

well spinning out in the wet is what happened, and considering how much rain we get here don't think it happens much. the wheels havent spun since the rims went on, i treat them like gold.

theres no other damage to say its been thrashed, i had to replace the clutch because it got to about 150 000 kms and started slipping, i was annoyed but didnt feel as bad when some of the guys said not to expect much more out of it.

meh i got it back from natrad today and it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. just gotta sort the clunk and it should be fine now...i hope...

[BANKS]

as asked - how many k's?

[WK Woody]

How many k's mate. Mines done 250, its a black 5sp SII S pack and I paid 6500 for it back in Jan. Theres a rough guide for you.

[VT97CALAIS]

Hey mate,

"Few big problems like the big dents in the drivers side door (dont turn off traction in the wet i've learned) and a clunk in the front drivers side."

I did have T/C but that functionality is disabled with the use of LPG
So ya just have to take it easy to not lose it in the wet!

[Skitz]

8,000 to 9,000....After your description I would'nt be banking on more than that.

[Jesterarts]

I sold my VX Series 2 S-Pack 5 speed manual for 18G in last Feb.

Though it was in IMMAC condition and with 12G of modifications... with 130,000km on it.

So from what you have described around the 10G mark...

Depends if you want it gone now or can let it hang around for awhile...

When i was selling mine i had people offering 12G and after i shut them down they were saying how stupid i was and how its only worth 12G if im lucky...lol

But yeah... its abit like that.

As per Redbook

Trade in: $7,300 - $9,000

Private Sale: $10,000 - $11,700

They mostly base their pricing on whats going on with the market, and on a car with average km and in good condition.

Hope that helps

[Stretchomatic]

yeah sorry its got 159 000kms on it.

carrs make things hard. spend more money and have it going great and looking good, or just upgrade, try something new.

thanks guys, like i said just trying to get an idea...sounds like its better to trade them in these days with how quick commodores drop in price...

my mate just bought a white vx v8 5 spped. 18 inch rims, tint and a nice stereo for 8k. 190k on the clock.

[lumina01]

depends if you find the right buyer.
i was getting offers of like 9g for my car but i ended up selling it for 12,900, 160k's on the clock, vx v6 on ceptors and he even gave my ceptors back bcoz he got rims for it.

vx v8 didnt come out with a 5 speed

[feistl]

Hard to say, but around the $8-10k mark. Ive seen VX SS V8 6spd go for $14k. You can even get a VTII SS Gen3 6spd for $10-12k.

[nathans1987]

vx v8 didnt come out with a 5 speed

for that price i'd say it was a 5L conversion from a vt. so probably was 5 speed.

Didnt think you were allowed to run a 5L in a VX.. Due to emissions

[Sabbath']

I'll give you a slab for it.

[Jesterarts]

Nope... not allowed.... can't put an older engine in the car... not sure if it can even engineer it.
