    Feeler selling my 92 e30 vert

    Hey guys just wanted to know what I can sell my 92 e30 vert. Looking into getting a coupe instead. Will it be better selling in stock or having the mods on the car. Things I really want to take off the car is the steering wheel, and the suspension. I can sell it with or without the wheels also.
    Tell me what you guys think what is a better way to go with selling the e30. Thanks in advance guys.

          Paid for right? Your not losing money on it and best time to buy is winter unless it's a winter vehicle like a snowmobile.

            The mesh wheels are some kind of knock offs of BBS. I just wanted something with a step lip.

                usually modifications won't increase the value of the car significantly, or close to the cost of the modifications. Leaving them on there will increase the value of the car (particularly with this crowd) but you won't see your money back, especially if you are planning on transferring or repurchasing the same modifications for the coupe. So, they might add 1000$ if you're lucky to the price, but you now need to buy 2000$ or more to replace the mods you left in the 'vert.

                  Good insight. So, your take is to put it back to stock and sell it.

                    If I was going to reuse the parts, yes. But, my 'vert has cabrio-specific springs, and as it sits now I don't have the original parts.

                    It kinda depends on who you're marketing to, as well. It might sell to an enthusiast faster if you have the basics (suspension, brakes, swaybars, etc) done. A casual purchaser might not worry too much about it. So, I guess I'd still try to sell it in as basic a form as possible.

                    that's a really, really pretty 'vert, though. I wish mine looked as good.

                      Just wanted to chime and say I'm really digging that 'vert. I've got a thing for the late model variety and Boston Green suits your car well.

                        Put it back to stock! Save all your parts for the coupe including the tranny. After you return it back to stock it'll be worth a million dollars and then you will have to take me out to lunch.

                          I'm usually not a fan of SportMax wheels, but they look really good on your car.
