Yeah Ebay gives the car alot of exposure globaly to potential buyers (thats were I eventually sold my car privately after auction for much more than the high bid) but, be ready to filter out the scammers. Although, its not that hard and sometimes fun to play along for a little bit! :D

I had thought about ebay,A few years ago I put my 03 Honda CR500AF on ebay and almost 100 emails.And the guy that bought it called me on the phone and he never emailed me. Maybe I will work on ebay this weekend.Thank's guy's.:thumbsup:

Hey guy's a few day's ago someone said I should remove the sticker's,add carpeting & A/C and make the 1/4 window's roll up & down. He said then it would apeal to more buyer's.What do you guy's think.Scott.

the main thing that grabs you about your car is that it looks like it just came off the track. I would consider removing the stickers and buffing the paint; a buyer may have a concern about the paint being discolored or damaged under the stickers and this would eliminate that. Plus the stickers could easily be re-installed if the guy wanted to.

I would leave carpet, adding a/c, etc. up to the new owner if they wanted it. There's a good chance they wouldn't want it, and I don't think any money spent here would change the value of the car or make it sell easier.

Jody, your advice is better than I got form the drag buddy of mine.:thumbsup:

Me and Jody are pals but I disagree.:unibrow: When I look at your car, I see race car. The mixture of race car and street car is what brings the money for a "Pro Touring" car. The ultimate goal is to make your car mimic a modern sports car. We all know it's impossible to achieve that but close is good enough.

Here's why I feel I'm right. How many guys on Lateral-G are really racing their cars compared to a weekend warrior? 1 out of 20 or greater. Even though I like to race my car, it still spends more time on the street. That means dynamat, carpet, windows that roll up, a heater, radio.

I'd certainly exhaust all the regular avenues before I changed the car. You may want to figure out the cost to make those changes and offer it as a contingency of the sale after a large deposit. The only negative is they may not be able to see the outcome. It's like a house that shows like crap, most people don't have much vision.

I would agree Scott. Taking off the stickers, adding carpet and adding A/C may appeal to a larger audience.

don't change a thing...
 
hey Scott,

my suggestion is to just leave it as is (sticker's make it stand out IMO). put it on ebay unchanged and give it a chance. if you still get no buyers after a few weeks then consider pulling the stickers...

btw, if/when you list on ebay make sure you say "stickers can be easily removed if buyer prefers..."

good luck!

Thank's guy's.It's great to be able to get a few differant point's of view's.The car has a vintage air/heat-defrost system, but no radio.I have all the pcs. to install the 1/4 glass & regulator's.I would be willing to discount the price of the car so someone could remove the sticker's,maybe repaint & add, a/c, dyna matt,carpeting,radio if they chose to.I am going to try ebay this next week and see what happen's.Thank's Scott

It's a good thought to ponder.... you can do that and open it up to more guys who are street guys and aren't interested in tracking. Whether it's streetable currently or not doesn't matter because in the eyes of many out there it looks like a race car and that may turn them off.

Or leave it as is, be a little patient, and market the crap out of it and find that one guy!

I'd love to see it stay just how it is, but maybe that's not the ticket to selling it.

Either way, best of luck.
