Need some guidance on the $$ worth of my modded SVX which isn't currently for sale

[subezealot]

Hi Everyone,
I'd really appreciate some input/opinions to get a value range on my beloved LSi AWD. At minimum it would help me with haggling on the insurance value but would also help me determine what I could get if I did decide to sell at some point.

Here's what I've got: 1996 (OBD II of course). 75K original miles. 5 speed swap with 4.11's (if memory serves) done less than 10K miles ago. Tranny was fully rebuilt prior to installation, and I had a heavy duty clutch installed. Also (and so important), I have the full setup for the coilover suspension, but it's not installed. I have all the parts for the conversion....the Koni inserts and the coilover springs I got from Porter like 5 years ago. Also have the new OE mounts for the struts as well. Magnaflow exhuast. 17" Nissan murano takeoff wheels. Euro grill. Underdrive pulley + CAI. Beige interior. I had it painted 3 years ago in the STi OE metallic gray color. Runs/performs great of course, it's like a time warp to an almost new version of the car. It's a California car originally, now lives in AZ with me. No rust. Cosmetically I've got a decision to make since the paint job wasn't done that well and it got hailed on in the winter. So I have some $$ to spend there to make it mint.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on $$ value

$4500.....

$3500-$6500 depending on the quality of the paint. Doubt you'd see more than 5k or so out of the insurance co though w/o an agreed value plan.

Many insurance companies will insure it for whatever amount you specify. You just pay more for insuring more.

BBB is not an accurate place to look. They will place the car around $3,000.
The car is worth only what another person is willing to pay for it . I just read a guy paid $10,000 for Jack Rubys gun. I was watching the Barret/Jackson auction yesterday a 1960 Rambler ( Pink and very ugly at that) went for $35,000 and a beautiful Chevy SS convertible only went for $25,000...go figure.

This is why my Pearly is worth a lot more as parts.

If the paint were in great condition and the coilovers installed, I would say $6000. The low mileage and youth of the car is a benefit. Then you have the added benefits of the 5 speed MT and the coilovers. For the paint, it sucks about the hail and it really depends on the damage done.

Ok thanks for the replies. I think I'll buy some WRX seats, get it repainted, install the coilovers and drive it into the ground
