How much is my car worth??!?

[Fastiva55]

This is strictly for curiousity reasons! how much do you guys think I could get for my car? Im talking about my BP car. If it was for sale all of the interior would be included.

Thanks
Mike

Anybody?

speaking for festiva enthusiasts in the wv region, someone would give you atleast 2500.00 for it but to the person who puts that much time, effort, and countless hours of cousing it would be priceless to them.

I would have to agree with the previous post... you could prolly get about 3 grand on ebay for it... but that would be like putting your own child on the auction block...

Yeah, and thats how I feel about it also, but I have a HUGE project I just purchased and its going to take alot of money and time to finish! Its been my absolute dream to do this car for my whole life and I finally found one of them and actually talked the guy into selling it! (it wasnt cheap though :shock: )
Thanks for the feedback

I wasnt asking how much my car was worth because I was going to sell it, I was asking because me and my buddy could get another festy and escort gt from this guy. We could put it together and put it up for sale!
If anybody would like a BP festy with G25mr, with hyrdo tranny let me know!!

no way i dont think you will get over 2000$. Pimptiva couldnt even sell his car for 2500!!

worth ????

In my opinion, I think everybody is low. I would place a higher value on this car. I looked through the pictures and its been gone through, well done also. I'm no engineer and have never even seen a mod, but if this is a smooth functioning unit, Id place at least a $3000 value on it. Of course I like my festiva. I sold a 62 impala SS in cherry condition for $3000.00 in 1987. I still rue the day.

[project b6t]

It comes down to, who would pay 3000$ for a festiva. I hate to hate but a festiva is well.... a festiva. For 3000$ you can get a much nicer car. You might find that special buyer that will pay the money but i do not think you will find them.

That is one reason i do not plan on selling my car because with the 4000$ invested in my car i know i will never see that money again. I would try to sell my car for 3000$ but i know even with all the work done to the car it won't happen.

Always worth a try though :roll:

I have to say modifying our cars is definitely not something your going to want to do to try to make a profit. I say if your going to do it, then do it because its what you want. My project cars are going to cost me more than I could ever hope to get out of them. I have friends asking me all the time why put so much money into something like that. Every time I give them the same answer. "BECAUSE I WANT TO!!" :!:

[Fastiva55]

That all makes sense, basically Festivas are awesome to mod because you can do it for cheap, and they can haul ass, but Festivas arent exactly on top on peoples lists to buy.
I was wandering about the price because I we could build a BP car for someone that really wants one, but maybe just doesnt have the means or know how. I know my car is fun to drive, just thought that we could spread the love

How much would you charge to do the same mods as you did on your car if you were supplied with the festiva to do it to?

[Fastiva55]

Not very much, do you have a Festiva that you want to mod? if so is it fuel injected? I will have to go buy the escort gt i know of, but that wont be hard. The guy wants 450 for it, and its worth that, it has 100,000 miles on it and tranny was rebuild 10,000 miles ago...(supposedly) :? But the engine does look like its in great shape!
Let me know
