[s-cars] What's it worth?? 90/90 20vt

[Tom Mullane]

Taka,

You're looking at backwards.  This is a complete low mileage AAN engine,
ecu, a bunch of RS2 parts, and a $100 shell.  
AAN engine - $2000?
ECU - $500
RS2 turbo - $1000?
RS2 Exhaust - $750?
RS intake - $750?

It would be fun to finish the car, but the valve is in the parts.

Rolf-
Gotta agree with Kent on this one- a project car is definitely not worth the
sum of its parts. Most people hate buying unfinished project cars for a
bunch of reasons:

-the car has a major hurdle to cross in order to finish it, one that the
seller does not want to cross -the car is essentially a total POS until it's
finished -it is unknown to the buyer exactly what is involved to finish the
project -unless it is something like Brandon Hull's eS2, which was basically
an OEM conversion, project cars often have undesirable (to the buyer)
customization of parts

Because of these reasons, it is very difficult to sell a project car.

I'd say either sell it to the buyer as a finished piece or part it out and
sell the pieces.
