I think im going to sale my car.

i would say, 14k, but its harder when the car is modded.. from my experience the price drops if your selling it to anyone but another modder, if its modded. if that sentence makes sense.

 

i wish you were selling when i sold mine i would have bought yours. lol i miss my suby every day! im glad your upgradding insted of sellin out like me!

 

bugeyes arent holding their value as much nowadays. I'd agree with Blink, 14K sounds about right if even too high for a bugeye. Mods wont add anything to the value unless you sell to another enthusiast who will appreciate them.

I got my wagon last summer for 15K and that included almost 6K in mods.

 

yea 14-15k sounds right might can even get as much as 17k. Depends on who you sell it to really. I want to upgrade to an sti but i just dont have the funds so when my car is ready to be sold it will have like 150k miles on it. haha

 

I've seen 03 WRXs with 30000 miles selling for close to $19K. I would go by kbb.com. I think that $14K is a bit low. I was recently offered $15.5K from a dealer and mine is an 03 with 25400 miles. I say you could get closes to $17K at least, but I think in general mods devalue a car.

 

KBB Verdict: Private Party Value in "Good" condition is $17300 or so. Based on autotrader.com, this price seems feasible.

 

by no means is a 600 small dont let it be seen as that. You will surpised what that bike will be capable of.

 

Yeah, I would not recommend a recent 600cc sportbike for a first bike. At all.

The bike magazine writers should be hung by their ballsacks for convincing an entire generation of new bike riders that a 120+hp 600cc supersport is a good 'starter' bike and really quite small.

 

Something from the 80s without a lot of plastic on them would be good. Maybe a more recent Suzuki GS bike or even an SV650 though that might be a little too much.

But before you get anything, sign up for the MSF class.

 

How about a older Kawasaki Ninja 250! Great learners bike. Looks OK too!
You can find those pretty cheap! Plus you won't cry, when you drop it and believe me, you will drop it!

 

Your in luck , my girlfriend has a Ninji 250. I think it's a 2002 model , like it matters they all look the same. She laid it down 1 time doing about 35 now she wants to sell it. I'll ask her tonight want she wants for it , i dont want to tell you something wrong.

 

yes please do, i know 3 people that have been killed in the last 2 years. and they had at least a few years each under their belt... bad stuff.

 

I PM'd emstraumajunkie earlier, but may as well post it here... In my opinion, it'd be pretty irresponsible to start riding a bike with a kid on the way, unless the wife signs off on it 100% and you ensure that she's provided for should something happen to you. It's a very, very dangerous pastime (I know, I've been riding for 16 years and love it), and you really need to be aware that every time you get on the thing it might be your last.

Also, budget some $1000 for good safety gear.
