Should I replace speakers and headunit in car before I sell it?
I have a Honda S2000 and I'm thinking of selling it soon. There speakers are blown, the aftermarket head unit is worn and finicky, there's an amp in the trunk, and the fob for the alarm needs reprogrammed. Should I replace the stock head unit and put some cheap speakers in or should I just leave it as is? I don't know if fixing the stuff would make a huge difference on the price I'd receive
Fix the fob for the alarm. Other than that, leave it "as-is". Get it detailed. Put the maintenance records in a neat folder.
S2000s are a coveted car in the used car market. Ask a reasonable price.
If you spend any serious cash on a new stereo system, you won't get your money back when you sell the car. It MIGHT be easier to sell if you just remove all the defective stereo components and give the new owner a few bucks discount on the price of the car.
It wouldnt help much on price but a few hundred dollars negotiation. Id buy the cheapest and put in myself. Spend as little as possible to make it look decent if oyu will. Or knck off about 400 for the repairs needed
Spending $x on it won't add $x to the price you get.
You will not be able to recover the cost to repair/replace the stereo components when you sell the car.
Putting in a cheap $200 stereo makes you look cheap. It will be obvious to any buyer that you installed a cheap stereo. It will diminish the value of the car.
Putting in an expensive unit won't increase the value of the car enough to recover the money you spent.
Sell the car with a broken stereo, disclose the defect and tell any potential buyer that you priced the car low to compensate for the defective unit.
Nah, not worth replacing. Anyone looking for an S2000 isn't really concerned with the stereo. If they are, they'll probably end up upgrading the unit themselves, anyway.
I wouldn't waste any money on it.
You can do it but you will never recover the cost
- Should I sell my car and invest the money? I have 2 cars. A 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse and an 2006 Honda S2000. I'm thinking of selling the Honda and getting 12-15k for it. Then investing that money. I have a friend who builds and flips houses. He said if I invest he'll give me a good return on it when they sell. I forgot the percentage he said, but it was higher than doing a cd or anything like that. I like my car, but I only drive that one once a week or so. Should I try and sell it and use it to make more money?
- I sell cars for 1800$ or less but the taxes are almost here could I sell this car for 3000$? It's a 2004 Suzuki Verona 159,000 miles Automatic It's in exelent condition no problems But do you think I'll get 3000$ for it? Most people usually want a honda or Toyota
- I have a 2010 honda civic coupe.Car has 59000 miles. What should I do before my road trip maintenance wise? I Just got out of the navy and I will be traveling for two weeks. Visiting many places on my way back to texas.
- How many miles should you have on a new car before driving it on the highway? (60 mph or higher)? I just bought a 2019 Honda Civic LX yesterday and I'm wondering how many miles I should put on it before driving it on the highway. I've heard with new cars you should wait until it has a certain number of miles.
