Twztd_Ion · 02-22-2007, 01:12 PM

may not be the right place to post but not sure where to put it. lately ive been thinkin about sellin my car to start a new project. what do you guys think i can get outta my ion?

mods are,
---EXTERIOR---
Tinted tails
Center exhaust
razzi body kit
carbon fiber hood
tinted windows
misc stuff on outside
lowered
17" 5 spoke rims with nexxen tires still good tread!
billit antennae
"roll call" on hood
10,000k hid conversion
Blue LED Underbody Kit
Flip Flop Trunk
BWoody Adjustable Rear Sway Bar with the "Race setup" (has chromeoly ends)

ENGINE---
AEM CAI
2.25 straight through exhaust
Big bore TB
Short Shifter

Interior---
Diamond Plate Floor mats
Sport pedals, similar to momo cf/aluminum
Blue under dash lighting
white LED's in cupholders
DVD player molded into glovebox with fiberglass
Silver accent pieces covered in vinyl

Audio---
Fiberglass Box Painted to match car
Memphis 15" Subwoofer
Memphis Components in front with tweets and crossovers
Sony 7.5 inch flip out media center
DVD player
Kenwood 1000W Amp
eDead in trunk and rear deck

Also Im sure there are many other mods i havnt listed that i forgot about

car is in excelent condition. i baby this car. everywhere i go it gets looks and attention. change oil every 3000 and wax at least once a month. every mod to this car was done myself so im the only one that has worked on it. engine has 50,000 miles and still runs nice.

i still owe 8k on it so i was hoping id be able to at least get around 9-11k because of mods. in mods alone there is about 4 grand. not including audio.

think i can do it?

your mods are very well done, so they might *slightly* increase what you can get for it, with the right buyer. Mods in general, however, don't increase vehicle value, and often turn off some potential buyers, who see them as a sign that the car may have been raced/abused.

your cardomain didn't want to load for me for some reason, and you don't list the year/trim level, so it's hard to judge what it might be worth...

Beautiful car, though.

$9k is probably pretty reasonable.

i was thinkin around the same thing actually when i first read it...the mods definitely depreciate the overall value of the car...unfortunately

I think I saw your car the other day in Columbia. Uless there's another silver Ion around with ground effects and a CF hood. I'd say $9-10K easy.

Twztd_Ion · 02-24-2007, 02:33 PM

more then likely, it was me. i live in columbia........
