-If you selling a car for 18k for above should you try to include as much things as possible?
yes
-Should a 95-96 converted kouki be worth more than a 97-98 original kouki?
not worth more, but it should add value
-Does having a newer motor help?
not in my case, my rb26 was a 1990 motor, almost 20 yrs old
-Does having a bigger motor help? (i.e RB26, 1JZ, 2JZ, LS1,2,3,6,7)
yes
-Does having an older motor like SR20, RB20 hurt or help you and why?
no, like i said, my motor was almost 20 years old. condition was excellent, but it was still old
-Does swap difficulty increase the value?
yes. this is why the buyer was willing to pay. even after owning his own shop, the new buyer said he has never seen a swap or wiring job like my car had
-Does suspension, and aero play a big factor?
to a certain point.
imo
if you have someone paying big money it is probably not for an aero kit.
peaople that pay big usually are looking for power and reliablility. how a car looks is definatly a huge factor, along with quality of aero kit, but what brand aero you go with isnt all that huge of a deal, as long as its tasteful, authentic, and quality and a perfect fit is there.
susp. is important, coilovers obviously looks better on a for sale ad than cut springs.
just a tip
when selling your car dont listen to other people saying youll never get what your asking
i had people telling me i wouldnt get 25,000, not because of build quality, but because people in the market for these usually dont have money.
finding a buyer is extemely hard, but they are out there.
