I honestly do not know how this thing hasn't sold.... Glwts Jvtec

jvtec95 · 11-20-2015, 11:43 AM

Thanks!

Someone is looking at it this weekend, but we're also expecting snow!

If anyone is seriously interested, PM me and arrange something, as I've had some serious offers coming in.

jvtec95 · 11-21-2015, 02:20 PM

So I have been fielding a lot of questions and offers via the inbox. Snows on the ground here, so here's my firm prices based on offers received:

$11k firm - car as it sits + extras (radiator, electric fan setup, s15 rear seat cover, a few other extras - basically things I didn't get around to installing)

$10.5k firm - car as it sits

$10k firm - if you want to bring your own wheels

I also have a set of 7 spoke G35 18" wheels with Bridgestone Blizzaks I could sell the car with as well, so something to think about. If I don't sell the car I'll work on it over the winter a bit, put it back up for sale in the spring and be a bit more firm on the original price.

jvtec95 · 11-23-2015, 11:30 AM

Bump, I'll likely be taking full coverage insurance off the car in a couple weeks.

Car is located at my house though, so if anyone does want to take a look at it after that just give me a little time in advance so I can put insurance back on it. Test drives will be dependent on road conditions.

Chaw wee · 11-23-2015, 11:46 AM

Great for sale thread, noobs should take note. Car looks very clean, i don't see you having issues getting your asking price out of this thing. GLWS

jvtec95 · 11-24-2015, 11:15 AM

Thanks for the feedback man!

jdm_dsao · 11-24-2015, 01:24 PM

Clean kouki!

jvtec95 · 11-25-2015, 09:01 AM

Thanksgiving Bump! Thanks for the comments, let's give this car a new home!

jvtec95 · 11-27-2015, 09:35 AM

Day after Thanksgiving food baby bump!

jvtec95 · 11-28-2015, 07:59 PM

Still for sale, PM me if interested, couple local people taking a look at it this week.

jvtec95 · 11-29-2015, 06:49 PM

Bump for a long weekend, back to work tomorrow!

jvtec95 · 11-30-2015, 11:37 AM

Bump, open to reasonable offers, but not interested in trades.

Nismobound · 12-01-2015, 11:28 AM

Did you happen to spray paint your door panels? It has a really bright sheen

jvtec95 · 12-01-2015, 12:21 PM

No, they are just freshly cleaned with interior protectant in the pics so probably look extra shiny!

jvtec95 · 12-02-2015, 11:31 AM

Bump, someone give this car a nice home!

s14-365 · 12-02-2015, 12:38 PM

i would offer 8k, to much rust

jvtec95 · 12-02-2015, 01:04 PM

For California, yes, for the Midwest... you'd cry if you saw what the underside of most 240s here looked like.

Zenkilove490 · 12-02-2015, 04:09 PM

Ive been watching this thing for a week now how did you change your 9.5 offer to 10k now? Yes it has rust and is repairable but now price went up lol Im in Cali so best scenario would be to fly out and hope I don't break down on the way back. Damn wish you were closer glws very clean Kouki sir . guess I have to wait patiently some more

jvtec95 · 12-02-2015, 06:46 PM

I haven't raised the asking price, just been steadily dropping it trying to sell before there's too much snow on the ground, and added some options because people were asking (with/without wheels, etc). I know a black kouki similar to mine recently sold around here for $10.5k and the body was in a bit rougher shape, so I don't think I'm out of line with my asking price. Others have chimed in and agreed.

Honestly, if I were in Cali, I wouldn't be looking at cars in the midwest, but that's me. You guys already have cars that are much less prone to being rusted (and the rust on my car is very minimal, with none on the body). That being said, if people are looking for cars that far away, it says something about how few clean koukis are around.

dude. your car is pretty clean condition. I know a bunch of people in SOCAL that would love to have your car.

There are a bunch of Fbody camaros here that have worst rust than that and it hasn't seen a day of snow in its life.

wolfvq37 · 12-03-2015, 10:36 AM

I read through the original post, but couldn't find information on dyno?

jvtec95 · 12-03-2015, 11:27 AM

Car hasn't been dyno'd (that I know of), I'd estimate 300-350 hp based on similar builds. Boost builds at nice low RPMs since the turbo rebuild. I think an actual dyno tune would really wake up the car though, I suspect it is running on the rich (safe) side with the enthalpy ECU.

jvtec95 · 12-04-2015, 12:04 PM

Bump, would like to get this sold by xmas, need to make room for my dad's project in the garage!

Well said.

In the Chicago or WI area. Minimal rust is considered a blessing lol.

Seriously.

jvtec95 · 12-05-2015, 03:36 PM

Bump to the top, accepting *reasonable* offers.

jvtec95 · 12-06-2015, 08:02 PM

Bump, price lowered, would like to sell before the end of the year.

Replaced the Isis FPR with an Aeromotive one today & took it for a spin. I'm gonna miss this car when it goes, it handles like it's on rails!

Jarom717 · 12-07-2015, 01:10 AM

How has it not sold yet. Clean kouki man. If I had the money I'd buy another one. Not too many clean kouki's going around and that price is more than reasonable GLWS dude

Thanks man, I thought it'd have sold by now as well. I've had a lot of others tell me the same, just no one close enough to actually buy it!

jvtec95 · 12-07-2015, 11:43 AM

Just a note on the suspension because some people have asked, it's on nearly the highest setting with the 18's and how I have the alignment (not cambered). If you want to go low, the suspension has a ton of adjustment if that's your thing, I just wanted a mild drop with a good firm suspension. Also, I love the EDFC, it's really useful!

jvtec95 · 12-08-2015, 11:16 AM

Bump, may install the electric fans this weekend if it's not too cold out!
