Previous sale prices of FTOs? What could I expect to get?

indyfto · Post by **indyfto** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 1:06 am

Just wondering what I might expect if I wanted to sell up. I'm interested in recent prices sold of modded FTOs in particular. I know that HKSFTO would have gone for around $22K but does that mean any modded FTO without turbo is now worth less or not necessarily? Like would mine be worth $25K minus headunit and plates or am I "dreaming?"

Since scracy didn't advertise his FTO anywhere else apart from here, i guess its save to say you might still able to get at least low $20k, your car certainly unique & look fantastic, but i guess its depends how much the buyer willing to pay what he or she think it worth.

In my opinion, if Scracy wait a bit, it should able to sell for a better price, maybe around high $20k, as lots of people don't have much money left during Christmas to mid Feb, the best time to sell should be around middle of the year where people save a bit of money already, & you also get that end of financial yr sales, & stock takes sales to boost the momentum of consumer buying.

I think yours definately worth around $25k, that because we know how much work is involve to get to the stage its in now, & its not over done with bodykits & neon stuff like some pass FTO.

But we all know lots of people are tightass these days & like to pay peanuts for good quality stuff

so good luck on what ever you decided to do

Indy, Since you car is considered 'show car' status (being in Hot4s) and also very recently, I would say around $20k-ish...
But at the end of the day, a car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Good luck if you decide to sell, its one very nice FTO.

That pretty much hits the nail on the head. My hope is that someone out there likes it enough to buy it for $25K. I have other plans for the money from the sale but am finding it very difficult to want to sell for less than that...can you be too attached to your car, cause I think I am

. Hell I'd even like $30K for it but I am trying to be realistic about it too. In an ideal world if I had $25K sitting around I could keep it and not have to worry. My real concern is that it's not like a normal car that I could buy again in the future easily as it is a one off, and a relatively expensive one off to recreate too. Ah, decisions, decisions.

Well we all know the more you spend on a car the more we going to lose, is like putting more money in just to keep it the same value, & thatâ€™s how I look at it at the moment.

Every FTO is unique to their own whether is Crap or ACE its still unique, & I know lots of people are selling their with in a few months, its like suddenly the FTO is not worth having anymore, & the market is flooded with them, so I guess the price will drop even more due to the fact everyone want to get rid of their FTO as soon as possible & also lots of tight ass would like to peanuts for a good decent FTO.

Well hopefully all those cars on the market end up going to people who are going to care about them just as much as most of us here.

I think the problem with getting prices in the 20's is that they aren't turbos. I bought mine because I love the look and the price was well under 20. If I was going to spend 25+ I would be looking to Nissans or Supras etc. Just my opinion though.

FTOluv · Post by **FTOluv** » Tue Mar 08, 2005 2:01 pm

tru, not that many people are willing to fork out $20+ for a non turbo FTO.

ScottyTav · Post by **ScottyTav** » Tue Mar 08, 2005 2:03 pm

Oh yeah, I fortgot to mention I would also think about a Turbo FTO.

And even fewer people are mad enough to spend over $20K on rice mods for an FTO

!

Very nice avatar ScottyTav, gotta absolutely love The Office. I've watched the final episode three times in the last week and it's still as hilarious as the first time I saw it

...and how much would you pay for one?

when i sell mine, it'll come with a 12s timeslip - last time i checked, they're very rare...

ScottyTav · Post by **ScottyTav** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 4:32 pm

That depends on what it looked like and what is comes with.

BTW I have had a 12 second car before. Just not an FTO.

I think Mikey was reffering to a 12 second time slip with Mistubishi FTO on it, now they are VERY rare

Actually i sold my car for mid twentys which i think was a fair price considering the car is nearly ten years old. Not many 10 year old cars would fetch that sort of price though, especially the way the car market is at the moment, new cars are just so cheap! I miss my car though

But alas long live the evo 8 (eventually)

When are you getting the EVO VIII??

I thought the second batch already landed??
