How much could i get for my car? Options

[xnightsmokex]

I know that you people will hate me for this...but i want to sell my celica so i can get a MR2 Turbo. A guy i work with has one, and that thing is crazy fast, despite the fact that he hasnt really made any upgrades to the engine. In order to get a MR2 i would have to sell my car... so i was wondering...how much do u think i could get for the car? My profile doesnt really tell you much about it...so ill include a few things:

It has just the stock 2.2L and i havent done anything to the engine except put a short ram intake on it. It has about 137k miles...the engine runs really great...i've had it for a year and i have never had a problem. The paint on it is in excellent condition. The interior is in excellent condition. This car is extremely clean...It has one small dent or ding on the rear passengers side that was there when i bought it...you cant even really notice it. The tires have less than 5,000 miles on them... the rims have no curb rash...its got a VIS Racing Carbon Fiber Hood, i put new jdm tails on it...got the windows tinted 35% all the way around(had it done after i took the pictures)...and all i can say is that the car is really clean. The only thing is though...back in December i ran into the back of a van and messed up the hood and bumper(didnt touch the fenders. But it was just enough to deploy the airbags. So i ordered a carbon fiber hood, the body kit, and bought some airbags and the computer for them. i fixed everything and you cant tell that this car ever had anything wrong with it. It didnt do any damage to the engine, although i had to replace the condenser because it was messed up.

So, perhaps somebody can let me know how much they think i can get for the car...i would like to know. I'm not really in a hurry to get rid of it...and I'm still thinking about whether i even want to. I'm gonna think about it for a while before i make a decision and regret selling it.

So, just hit me up with what u think.

4,000

Over in your area, I think 4k is a reasonable expectation. I agree w/that.

That sounds fair to me, too. What you could do is search on autotrader.com or cars.com for Celicas in the Mid-Atlantic region with similar features to yours to get an idea of what to expect. But more importantly, do you have an MR2 in mind? What are you looking to get?

It doesnt matter what kind of mods you've done to your car, it's not going to add to the value of your car. It actually will do the exact opposite. Also people are very tight with their money due to the fact that our economy is complete sh*t so you might need to lower your price even more if you're serious about selling it. I sold mine for a lot cheaper than what i wanted to.

Well, there was a MR2 Turbo that a guy has at where i work. Its a '92 and i think its got about 120k on it...but he said the motor has about 80k on it. The MR2 needs to be painted and the seats are ripped. Plus there is something wrong with the shifter or something. Some bearing type thing down in the shifter broke or something. I was talking to him today and he said he might have to sell his car to pay off some bills. He said he wanted to get $6,000 for it. I was talking to him about a trade or something and he was talking about me giving him my car and like $2,000 for it. According to you people, that would be about right. I think his car has like one dent in it, which im guessing could be fixed if i got it painted. His motor is pretty much just the stock 2.0 turbo. I think all he did was put a racing clutch in it and put a HKS super drager exhaust on it. other than that the car is pretty much stock. The car is pretty fast, and mines not, so thats why im trying to get it, cuz i dont wanna spend the money to get a 3s...cuz motor swaps can be problematic.

So, tell me what you think about it.
