Whatever someone will pay.

2d-ink · 02-09-2011, 01:42 PM

not to be a a dick, but most likely you wont get what you put into it... it all come down to how many people want it and how much they are williing to pay.

bb4_96 · 02-09-2011, 01:46 PM

wtf...when i saw your post count

JuMPiiN · 02-09-2011, 01:49 PM

Maybe 2500-3500 if your lucky. All seriousness right there. And that's if it was done right

OBEEWON · 02-09-2011, 03:31 PM

The problem is its a KA-T. Anyone who would do a KA-T would most likely build thier own.
Anyone else who doesnt know much would likely spend more money on an SR or RB.

CrazyIvan · 02-09-2011, 03:54 PM

Will be easier to sell and you'll get more money if u part it out.

gerson408 · 02-09-2011, 04:13 PM

i say just part out all the turbo stuff and just sell the ka as a stock motor for like 800 or sumn.

okay yes he should sell the turbo setup and bolt ons seperate...but are you serious about the second part...seriously, you must be joking. why the F#C% would you sell a non stock motor as stock, thats what an idiot would do. sell it for what it is and list everything and say best offer...or add up how much is invested and just take off a third to half of what is invested. dont sell it as stock though, you're asking for someone to lowball you then

trevor34 · 02-09-2011, 06:10 PM

I figured i would have to PO everything its just easier to sell it as a whole. Well thanks for the info and suggestions. Ill probably just go through my setup and see how much i have invested and go from there.

Drifting-pedobear · 02-09-2011, 06:20 PM

its worth 500$
give me your paypal.

godrifttoday · 02-09-2011, 08:18 PM

This is how someone should evaluate a price .... What u paid for it x. .50%= "a number" then "a number" x .75 = true market price

For example:

U paid 2000 for you set up

2000 x .50= 1000 x .75 = $750 which is the true market price

Sleepy_Steve · 02-09-2011, 08:43 PM

+1 for it being worth about 750 total.

jacobs13 · 02-09-2011, 08:49 PM

How is a built ka-t swap worth 750? Id rather buy a built ka than an sr

godrifttoday · 02-09-2011, 09:08 PM

^
it's an example in my case

JuMPiiN · 02-09-2011, 09:35 PM

You'd be lucky to get 1500, just for the fact that when 90% of the people say built, it isn't "built". That's a proven statement. I'm not saying tour lying by any means but I'm pretty sure most people on here wouldn't believe your mods without receipts, and proven facts.

trevor34 · 02-10-2011, 10:50 AM

^I totaly agree with you on that its been over 2.5 years since the build was done i highly doubt i can find all the receipts. If i cant get atleast 3000 out of everything ill just keep it and upgrade my fuel system. Im sure its worth more then 700.

Drifting-pedobear · 02-10-2011, 01:55 PM

throw in a 12 pack of head gaskets as well.

Cyclist87 · 02-10-2011, 04:23 PM

sounds about right

az24tsx · 02-11-2011, 09:59 AM

What its worth and what it'll sell for are two completely different things good luck man I'm on the same boat as you

trevor34 · 02-11-2011, 05:32 PM

The economy just sucks right now, ill just hold on to everything for now and just turn the boost up to maybe 25psi.

I hear that...good choice!

holisticbeatz · 02-11-2011, 06:27 PM

Don't blame the economy. Investing in a motor will almost always yield negative returns.
