I have to defend my car's honor. It's not salvaged....rebuilt

Yes it will definitely turn away alot of people, but there are still plenty out there who will pay the deserve price for it, just not as much potential buyers that's all. And trading at the dealership would be a terrible mistake, they will give pennies for it, but that applies to every car, not just rebuilt, dealerships always give low on trade-ins, its their business to do so lol

Great looking car but the theft recovery might bring the value down a bit

Agreed but the same car side by side one has a rebuilt title and one a clean title. Heck they may not even take the rebuilt titled car on trade

I'm not taking it to a dealer. I definitely know the stigma associated with a rebuilt title. I was iffy as **** when I purchased this one. The only reason I did was because it was considerably lower than a MR with a clean title. Im happy though. Got a sweet MR and paid thousands less than what they were going for. I'm not worried about selling it...I know it will go....just wanted to know what you guys though in terms of asking price.

There was never a blue MR was it repainted? Was a 6spd swapped into it? Bilstein suspension swapped in?

+1 Whats the story behind that?

But if it was a regular GSR, rebuilt title.. I'd say 15k-17k

You just have to find the right buyer. I sold my rsx with a rebuilt title for 9k when the going price was around there I have actually seen them go for cheaper with less miles and a clean title. So it is possible just be patient and don't take an offer thats really low just because someone says cash in hand. It is worth the wait. Good luck!!

MR did not have Leather seats EVER in 05 it had the same blue seats every other VIII had, only the SSL cars had leather seats

Those are not MR rims either.

It's a complete mixed up mess...

6 spd tranny(bad), non MR wheels(bad), leather seats (bad - subjective though, I had them in my 8, I'd never want them in my car again), Tein springs (bad - the ultimate shock killers), random drilled rotors (bad), rebuilt title ...

I mean either someone will lowball you bigtime or you won't sell it. Atleast I wouldn't buy this car unless I had a killer deal on it to repair all the "mistakes" the car has.
