Hey guys, I'm going to be selling my 2013 G37 sedan with 6MT. I'm not interested in the hassle of parting out, so I'm trying to figure out what to sell it for. It has 58k miles and is in absolute perfect condition. Below is a list of things I've done to it:
20" Vossen VFS1 wheels
255/35 and 295/30 Continental Extreme Contact DW tires - 5,000 miles on them
OEM front sport lip
Autokits X rear diffuser
Swift sport springs
Koni Yellow adjustable shocks
Full custom cat-back 2 1/4" exhaust with Tanabe mufflers and Vibrant Performance resonators
Stillen V2 ram-air intake
Cusco front strut tower brace
Hotchkis front and rear sway bars
SPL front and rear end links
SPC front and rear camber kit
Clear bra on front bumper, lower front lip, headlights, side-view mirrors
Full-body ceramic-pro paint protection
Diode Dynamics HID fog light conversion and tail-as-turn module
VLED turn-signal switchbacks
Carsmo titanium stereo and AC *****
Lathe Werks titanium shift ****
RJM clutch pedal assembly
KBB says private party range is $16,806 to $19,045. Am I nuts to think that someone would pay more than $19,000 for this car with all of this installed? Any thoughts on what a "fair" price is would be appreciated.
But, that’s a steep price for a 5 year almost 6 model year old car. Finance rates suck for older cars and people are hesitant to buy modded cars, and while tens of us love the manual, it’s a very narrow market. If you’re not in a hurry, your chances are probably better than if you’re in a rush.
I'm definitely not in a rush, so that's working for me. But yes I do see that the resale on these is not strong. But when I was looking for one, it seemed like every time a 6MT sedan was available it would sell in a couple of days. I guess I'll find out when I list it...
I hope you’re right and I’m underestimating the market, because I’ll likely move on in the next year as well. It’s all about finding a buyer that’s specifically looking for a 6mt sedan.
I'd try posting it in our classified section and see what's out there, folks here that might be looking for just what you have may be willing to pay more for what those mods are worth. Definitely worth a shot before trying through more traditional sources.
Awful resale value has solidified my decision to keep my G for the long haul.
And I'm grateful for it, since I've avoided some financial blunders. And still really dig the car, even without modding it much over 5 years. 6MT goes a long way.
You'll come out ahead if you return the car to stock and sell all the mods separately. Unless you have a garage and/or access to tools, the hassle factor may negate the benefits.
Car looks great! I'll be looking to get practically the same car (minus the mods) at the end of this year. I'm coming from the first gen g35 platform. Im aiming at 13-15k depending on the mileage.
