Default Whats my duce worth?






Im thinking of upgrading to a local 08 laguna blue and basically build the same set up. So im trying to figure out what my car may be worth. Im a former Honda Tech so everything was done by me and im completly nuts about maintaining it like bushing and booties and what not. Here are my specs:

01 Silverstone with red interior with 50k on it.
AP2 radio door
Alpine Radio with modifry and pioneer speakers
Volk TE – 17’s
Black powder coated calipers
Powerslot rotors
GDR SS Lines
H&R Suspension
Comptech Supercharger (novi 1000) w/ aftercooler and SOS front mount heat exchanger. Boosting 12.5lbs making 410 WHP. Tial Q Bov
AEM EMS with dual serial gauges tuned by Jeff Evans
Hondata 4 Bar MAP Sensor
Injector Dynamics 1000cc injectors
SOS clutch (only 300 miles on it)
MG Racing exhaust with test pipe
Rear diffuser and OEM style front lip
Avid Motor Mounts

The paint is super clean and so are the seats. Not a single ding anywhere. I would like to think its worth at least 15k but I cant believe that kind of money can buy this kind of fun while knowing it was built right.

KBB it.

In all honesty I would give it a hit from 'stock' because I don't like most of what you've done visually.

Finding the right buyer who wants what you've done is the key to getting the 'value' you see out of it.

Best of luck

If you would really say its worth less then stock I would have say you're crazy. Visually you're talking about wheels that can be sold for good money and a diffuser that can be removed in 10min and sold so you can quickly change what you dont like. The rest of the car and supercharger - whats not to like. Its about perfect if you want to supercharge.

Mileage?

You should convert it back to stock and sell it. I wouldnt pay much more for a modded s2000 then its value stock but you can take the supercharger kit off and sell it for $3k+ and the wheels for another $1k+. If the car stock is worth 15k from kbb i can tell you for sure its going to be hard to find someone thats going to pay 19k with the mods. My point is you can make more money selling it stock and selling the parts seperately. Good luck

50k on it.
I get it that I would have to find the right buyer but anyone who knows about these would know the car was done right and all you would have to do is change what your eyes dont like, like the wheels or whatever. I dont really want to part it out, Im not trying to deal with that. I put a lot of effort into this car over the years and I want someone to enjoy it. I was just trying to get an idea of what some people think it may be worth as is. I appreciate the advise but I would like it if you keep what you dont like out of the conversation. Im simply trying to get an idea of what you might ask for it if you were selling as is. I would love to get 19k but I also feel like that would be too good to be true. But, KBB said its worth 19.5k just now

Remove the grill and the rice smoked taillights and more people will probably like it. $16 doesn't sound bad for what you have done to it but remember you really don't get the money back from the work you have into it. I agree that you should part out and then sell but good luck.

Also maybe its just me but referring to your car as a duce just makes me think of taking a big ol crap so probably not the best name for your car.

As someone that has a SC'd S2K...

They are pretty sweet, so if you can find a buyer and prove the car's in great shape, it's an adder to the price.

I think most buyers are not going to dig the visual mods. Get some stock wheels, remove the light treatments, and whatever is done to the grille. If I had to ballpark it, I'd say $17K plus or minus a K is a good start for a visually stock car.

Mine is a MY02 with 86K, and I think if were 100% stock, I'd be looking to get $13K if the car were bone stock. As-is...more...but it would have to be WAY more as the car is not for sale as I've put a lot of blood and sweat into it.

You'll have trouble getting 'stock' pricing on a modified car. I mean lets get real here, it's fact. Don't shoot the messenger. Hopefully you dont take a hit.
