How much is my 340BHP IHI'd LCR worth?

[Balf2k]

Just after an idea how much to advertise my car for with Jabbasport stage 3 IHI conversion with dyno @ 340.9BHP, lots and lots of mods, Private plate, HID lights, Neuspeed ARB's, Quaife ATB Diffrential, uprated clutch, Koni FSD / Eibach springs and lots more. She has done 70k and been seriously looked after and polished frequently. The time has come to sell and will be going in the For Sale section in the next fortnight so just after some ideas. Cheers

Not sure tbh, might be worthwhile expanding on "lots and lots of mods" as people would be interested in that and also the year.

Not alot you not ........................probs worth a straight swap with my 01 y reg cupra ..............

It's worth about the same as any LCR the same age with 70k on the clock. Mods don't make it more valuable.

Not a clue but i'd be interested to read the full spec on your car

Hopefully a For Sale thread will be along shortly...... which will then stop this thread turning into one.........!!!!!!

Most people don't want to buy someone else's mods so for this reason it will be harder to sell but if the mods have been done well and by people who know what they are doing then it should be worth more than a standard setup to the right person.
You have essentially a finished car to your personal tastes - not many peoples taste.

I don't know enough to comment fully on what you have done or if you know your stuff to trust what you have done. This will be the problem, only people who are very knowledgeable will be able to judge what it is worth (after a very detailed inspection). Even after that they will no doubt think they know better. For example, I know lots of people who really don't like the Koni FSD / Eibach setup.

Some may be sucked in by the extreme power and be happy to pay good money for it.
Most will just steer clear due to the level of mods you have done.

Good luck selling it.
You could sell the mods off and put car back to near standard? Maybe get more money that way.
Saying that, i would not want a car that was previously modded to a high spec and then put back to standard. I would prefer one that has been factory from the start.

saying that tho , how would you know about something thats been put back to standard i,e maps wheels if its done tidy each way no one would be any the wiser

but high mods dont get any more ££ i, know , must have spent 10-15k + on my mk 5 fiesta , and only got what a std one was fetching , in the end i sold it for a Grand, the paint cost more than that!

selling mods on with OEM in exchange for their bits is always worth thinkin about

good luck tho ,

il swap you

All I meant was, if I did know. IE, having seen on this site what you have done i would not then want to buy it after it was put back to standard.
It must put extra stress and wear on the car by taking it all apart and then putting it all back again.
I'd rather have one that had not been tampered with at all.

ye i get ya same here , but if it was in auto trader etc , then chances are ppl mite not now , etc

as far as stress i cant see that , same as servicing a car and replacing parts etc

but stress engine wise , internals then that would be stressed more due to higher BHP / ibs /ft more than std

Dom, you sound like you don't like modding cars, but then I noticed you've been remapped... or do you mean heavily modded cars with big turbos?
