Possibly selling my '92 TSi FWD Options

[dstock22]

1992 Eagle Talon TSi FWD
-about to turn 156,000 miles, but the engine was juilt rebuilt from the head up 2k miles ago, new timing belt, valves, you get the idea
-turbo is the same size as stock with only 12,000 miles on it
-tires are brand new Dunlop Sport A2's, typically the front has a little less tred than rear, but not much less
-infinity 10inch sub
-reverse glow gauges
-painted interior
(see my profile for pictures)

paint on the outside is in decent shape, hood is a little faded
minor flaws in the body, but what do you expect, its nothing major, just a couple very small dents


I'm just considering selling it, wondering if there is any interest in it. It is currently my daily driver and I love it to death. I don't really want to or have a need to sell it, but if somebody wants it and makes me an offer I can't refuse then I'll most likely let it go.

Thanks,
-Dylan

You might want to try the trader or other local publication. In my experience, the autos tend to sell better to the general public than the enthusiast market.

I'm not trying to speak poorly of your car but here are the things working against you getting a good value for it:

Auto trans: Not going to hold up as well for modding. Most enthusiasts just won't take one.

Small auto injectors
Small auto turbo 13G
Auto ECU

Exterior color: Teal is considered to be one of the least desirable body colors by most buyers (sorry Wortdogg

Painted interior: As much as you might like it, most buyers are going to look at it as something they'll need to spend money on to fix. Sorry about that.

Rebuilt engine: From your description it sounds as if just has a new head on it. Not the same as a rebuilt engine (bottom end pistons, rings, bearings, etc.)

As a parts car, most of us can't use a lot of the parts. As a project car, it requires a fair amount of money and parts to start pushing the local 5sp manuals around.

Now having said all that, to Joe (or Joan) Public who wants a turbo car with a little zip and and prefers an auto tranny it might not be a bad option.

Again, I'm not trying to badmouth your car or run you from the board. Just that that's more or less the reality of the sale on this particular model. Oh, and not putting a price on a for sale car on this board is ALWAYS going to net you offers of pocket lint and pennies.
