What would my car be worth?

... just a random thought.

No, not gonna get the Maserati - got something else planned, as a weekend car instead...

... and if I part it out, what would my goodies be worth?

your goodies? In your position I wouldn't be happy with any less than 50% of the original prices

Clarence you've done way too much to your car for me to give an estimate off the bat as a whole package, but stock probably mid 20's..

Darn, only mid 20s? :cry: Can't believe how much they've dropped in value, I think it's better if I just hold onto the car anyway. :P keep it as a 'daily' for when I need it.

I've got my eye on a 1980s Porsche 911 SC... fairly cheap, under $20K... something totally different (electric nothing, everything is raw) and since I don't need to drive on a daily basis, my Lib is just a weekend car for me anyway :P


P.S. Nice avatar Vina. 800kb of bandwidth though! haha

Mid to High 20's
:wink:

ooo vintage Porsche, unique but i'd imagine maintenance costs would be a bitch! But I guess since it won't be a daily thats not very important.

LOL yeh, should I change it?

Nah don't change it, it's in my cache now, it's ok :lol:

Maintenance won't be too bad, the engine in the 1980 model is near bulletproof from what I am told. The one I am looking at, engine and gearbox is in good condition. Body-wise, it's not the best, but it's not bad either.



... definitely think parting out the car would be best :P will need to have a think about this one! Or maybe I should sell off all my goodies, and sell my mum's Accord Euro instead.

1980s 911? How are your reflexes? those things were reputed to swap ends quicker than a menopausal woman changes her mood

Nice analogy :D
The one I'm looking at, it's got a fibreglass rear bar and I've been told (the owner also owns a 930 Porsche 911 Turbo) that it helps to even the weight bias a lot.

Gotta love hanging around exotic car enthuasiasts ;)

Hey Clarence, if you got 82K handy (i hope not lol) you could ditch the porsche and buy the Diamond Edition Lib :D Don't think you'd get bored with 1173 bits of bling!
