How are we supposed to help you come up with a figure if you don't give us details on the car? How many kms? Clean or rebuild? How are you selling it, stock or modded? Claims on the car? Damage on the car?

Lots of variables dude...try and give details or there's not much we can do.

Why the sale now? Bored? OR making space for the Q?

if i was going to get the Q like i planned i would just keep the cl but my heart has always been set on an NSX but i was young and had nowhere near the money for one. times are very different for me now so getting one is possible so i figured i might test the waters on selling the cl and see what happens.

Of course, will not get all of what was put into this BEAUTY as a whole.

Just better off partimg out the major items MINUS lip kit or any other body mouldings...

Some would feel the mileage is the killer. Yes it's an Acura/Honda, nonetheless, some folks are scared of mileage and would consider yours to be "high". You would be lucky to get $7k as a whole, and that's being conservative.

Only a buyer that is looking for a car like yours & knows what the mods are will be interested in buying it.
Everyone else will look at the car & see the miles & see a tranny that doesn't belong on the car, & a repaint & run.
$5K tops to those.
For the right sort of buyer....$8-$10K
The car just isn't a seller.

Keep it a few more years or part it out. Honestly the parts are worth more than the car is. Like others said without parting it out you are looking at a very limited market of people, and wont get much more than stock cl anyway.

damn when you guys put it that way i think i might as well part it out. i think i might just part it out and keep the cl as a daily. thanks everyone for the honest advice. ive never sold a car so none of the stuff you guys mentioned even crossed my mind. just selling my supercharger, lip kit and my rims would make me back a good amount of money.

Find an audio video shop and see if they want to buy it. If the quality of the work done to the car is top notch, most shops will be. willing to look into it.
Thas what I plan on doing with my car next month

Its rare that u might find a buyr for it as it sits. 99% of the people don't wanna toucch a car that has been this heavily modded.
And even if u do find a buyer, its only gonna be worth it to u to sell it for around 8 -9k, they will have to have cash for it and no body will finance this car.

I don't think you'll be able to get the ROI you want on it. Either you'll have to part it out and sell it stock or take a big hit. What would selling it really do for you though besides freeing up some driveway space and a couple thousand? I don't think it's worth it to sell it.

He might get lucky and find one of those kids who "has" to have this car. That's what happened when I sold my heavily modded accord, some kid bought it straight out front.

yea you all have made great points. ive found some attractive offers on some nsx's and i figured i wouldnt want to drive it everyday so a daily would be nice to have. its not the most practical car to have as your only car. im sure my mods would sell pretty fast as someone stated earlier. ive already gotten some pm's about parts lol. well i guess selling it is out of the question now thanks everyone for the good sound advice. if i pull the trigger on one ill part out the car and use those funds for mods.

Fair enough. I'd say you'd probably get around $7-9K for it tops. My suggestion, return the car to stock, sell it stock (you'll be more likely to have an easy sale) and then sell your mods separately. I've seen lots of people invest so much into their cars, then sell it as is and don't make anything back on the mods. As well, they have a harder time selling it modded because you end up losing the interest of a majority of buyers (maybe a 35 year old family man is interested in a CL).

Sell stock, then sell the aftermarket parts separately. You'll still prob get between $7-9K for the CL and then you can make some money back on the mods you bought.

May I ask why you're looking to sell? If you don't want to share, I understand. Either way, good luck!
