Do you guys see DSMs suddenly are for sale a lot higher prices than they used to be? I browse through Tuners and the 1Gs are listed at usually $4,500 to $6,500, and a few of them are in the $10k+ range. Even locally some guy is trying to sell a 1G talon for $12,000 that is most likely worth only half.

Value is in the eye of the beholder. But yes, I have noticed asking prices are going up for GOOD condition DSM's. Maybe because it's getting harder to find a decent one?

A clean shell is a bit hard to find, so people that have them seem to think they are worth a fortune.
You end up putting a lot of money into your DSM, so for some people maybe its worth getting raped for a clean body.

Well I know Id sell my 1g for alot more then the average 1g.

Depends how the car was treated and what the car has done. Not to mention what it has accomplished.

Some people are asking more, but that doesn't mean they are getting anything near that or actually selling them. Some people seem to think that mod add to the value of the car at 100% of the original cost of the mod and labor.

That is why it makes more sense to part it out.

However dsmtrader being down so long is killing a ton of sales. They really need to get that site back up asap.

That definately is the funny part. I know for a fact I will not get 100% back of what I put in for mods. Maybe 50% at MAX.

Unless it is in the new fast and furious movie and you time your sale with that, then you will get 150%
