Howdy All

What would be the approx. sale value for a charcoal grey 2008 G37S with 109K miles, AT, rear spoiler and almost all other options besides rear steering? The car has been babied and stored every winter and is about a 9.5 out of 10 for condition. I am in Indiana and am guessing around $8 or $9K. Does that sound feasible?

Thanks

 

Check kbb.com or edmunds for your zip code to get a general idea on private sale pricing.

 

It's tough to say as these cars have reached a point in their maturity where KBB can only be used as a starting point since reliable JDM RWD performance is a dying market segment, yet still very desirable to enthusiasts. Do you have the factory grill? I'd put it back on and make the car look completely stock again as that will fetch a higher resale. If you do not, note the Stillen grill in discussions only since their brand carries alot of credence in the car community. Coupes in that good of shape with a desirable color scheme will always be in demand. If you have maintenance records, advertise those as well as many will pay more for proper records as they minimize many of the unknowns associated with used cars. If you have already replaced the gallery gaskets, that will fetch more since the web is full of buyer beware warnings related to gallery gaskets (which technically do not fail that often, even on pre 2013s). You may also want to note in the listing what features the sport model adds on a RWD as they are game changers for enthusiasts (VLSD Diff, close ratio steering, BBK, performance suspension). Also, for mods, minimize discussion as they are red flags. If you replaced say the diff bushing with urethane Z1 bushings, simply state "differential bushings replaced" and treat it as a maint item, not mod. Exhaust the same, "new exhaust". Leave the details for discussions once you feel out the knowledge level of the buyer.

Also, don't post this same question to Reddit as those guys will tell you its worth 5-6K. They essentially take KBB and reduce it by >30%.
