Valuation of my supe...

How it pains to do this... but am considering selling the supe after only having it for about 6 months....

 

I bought the car from a member on the forum (spardz) in June 2005. I got banned from driving for 4 months at the end of November 2005. I've been holding off putting it up for sale, but unfortunately my pay review did not go as well as I anticipated and looks like I will not be able to afford the insurance when I get my license back and am planning on buying a property this year. Gutted as it is an awesome car as I am sure you all know, and I haven't driven anything that is as quick or as fun to drive. It was imported by JIC Ltd in 2003 and has only had one owner in the UK before me.

 

It's a black J-Spec 95 Auto TT, when I bought it mileage was about 52,000.

Current mileage is about 59,000. All tyres are Good year FS1's, and the

rear ones have only done about 1,000 miles, so pretty much brand new.

 

The car when I bought it had the following:

Performance mods -

UK Spec front and rear brakes

HKS Iridium Plugs

Motorsport Fuel pump

TRL Fuel cut defender

HKS SSQV BOV

Blitz SUS power induction kit.

Blitz Nur spec exhaust

Blitz de-cat pipe

Downpipe

Blitz DSBC Boost Controller

Stage III Hybrid turbos

Front Decat pipe.

 

Cosmetic -

Lowered 30mm

Clear side indicators

Clear (Facelift) front indicators

Veilside Skirts

Veilside Nose

Veilside rear bumber

Greddy spoiler

Door graphics - These have now been removed.

17" Khan Wheels

Odometre changed to indiglo.

Indiglo temp/air dials

A-Pillar pod

Blitz AC racing meter 60mm EGT Gauge - Indiglo

Blitz AC racing meter 60mm Boost gauge. - Indiglo

 

DLS 10" Sub

DLS C-Series Amp

Custom Box

Sony 6 CD changer

Sony Headunit with flip front

 

Since I have bought it, I have done the following:

- Bosch Wipers front and rear

- Bonnet seal + retainer

- Front brake discs and all pads. Have rear brake discs with me for when they

will need changing.

- Facelift rear lights inc bulbs and harnesses. Have old headlights which

also have fog light conversion.

- Passenger seat had a tear in it from previous owner and so this was repaired

for £100.

- Some work needed to be done on the engine at about 57,000 miles. This cost me about £1,600, new piston rings, head, seals... since then there has been a very noticeable change in performance, she is more responsive and pulls much better than before. The engine feels like it's almost new and should be solid for at least the next 100,000 miles.

- TRD Radiator cap

 

I have also purchased the following but not yet installed:

HKS S Type Intercooler

A'Pexi SAFC II

Radiator hard pipe kit

Vacuum hoses (blue)

- These cost me in excess of £1,000. Depending on what I can get for the car will either sell with the car or separately.

 

Pictures of the car are attached as it is now.

 

Would appreciate input on what people reckon she would be worth?

Sorry to see this Irfan mate.

 

This car is very clean, the engine work has resulted in a very tight motor. Just blipping the throttle on idle you can feel the difference against most other cars, as he says it feels like a brand new engine.

 

I would get it on a dyno mate as people will want to know what its pushing, I would estimate over 400bhp at the fly with ease in comparison to mine.
