Bro, how much you're looking to sell? PM me.

 

[kumar22mostwanted]

this is a super rare ride
i think you should find out how much insurance companies are valuing it at first
and then allow people to bid i think it can fetch a price well above the market value also due to it being so rare
good luck on the sales

That's a nice looking car you got there.

If you genuinely looking for an idea on the price, I think you need to look at the prices of coupes in the market:

JDM/USDM:
Honda Civic EJ Coupe - RM25k-RM40k
The one in The Fast and The Furious. Test-driven one few years back, was put on sale at RM25k-35k, if I'm not mistaken buyer willing to let go at below RM30k. Take note that EJ coupes does not come with VTEC engines, if it comes with a B16A then it is transplanted. The EG6 hatchback, although more common, is a hotter model amongst Honda enthusiast, mainly because it is an original SiR that comes factory-fitted with a B16A.

Toyota Levin AE101 - RM25k-RM40k
I remember there was one unit sold at Kuching about 2 years back for RM25k. Comes with 4AGZE, I think that's original because there are models that comes with 4AGZE. Most will come with 4AGE Silvertop 4 throttle.

Toyota Levin/Trueno AE111 - RM40k-RM63k
I think I can remember a yellow unit on sale here in ZTH, from Sarawak? Another unit is still on sale in Mudah for RM63k since July.

Local:
Proton Putra - RM18k-RM35k
Can check out at Mudah. Usually the higher-priced units will come with transplanted turbo engines: Evo or GSR.

Price will vary depends on condition, modification and definitely location. If the unit is located at East Malaysia, it needs to be very very rare and in demand for a buyer from Peninsular Malaysia to be interested. Usually these models are originals with not only rare good looking shape, but factory-fitted with powerful engines (AE86 Levin, Fairlady 240Z). If you know anybody in the used car business here in KL, East Malaysia AP is not highly regarded, that's why when they advertise they will say KL/Local AP.

Quick cash sale will usually be around RM30-40k. People can be persuaded to part with RM30-40k. But if a unit is put on sale for 50k-60k, it will be a slow sale, obviously because those who have 50k-60k in cash can put it as downpayment for a more recent model factory-fitted with powerful engines. RM50k-60k downpayment is in the region of Silvia S15, Integra DC5, Evo 7-9, Impreza STi version 7-9 already.

I think RM60k is a sufficient amount to buy an Evo 3 already. Subaru Impreza GC8 original WRX 4WD (not 2WD converted) is priced below RM60k here in KL, and the price of parts to modify GC8 are cheap, cheaper than Honda parts.

Left out Honda coupes:

Honda Integra DC2 - RM40k-50k
Type Si with B18C GSR should sell around that price, genuine Type R will be RM50k-65k. Of course with B18C Type R, you can chase a LOT of cars already, even turbos.

Thanks for the tip Teo, but still.. how many Mirages exist to the ratio of how many Integras exist in Malaysia? Plus the ability of doing an Evo conversion is simply an unattainable feat being a Mitsubishi :)

Evo coupe FTW!

 

[DewA_LavaU]

I think ur ride worth around 35k-40k...

 

[p3jal]

ur headlamp very smart bro and nice rare car...

Thanks for the tip Teo, but still.. how many Mirages exist to the ratio of how many Integras exist in Malaysia? Plus the ability of doing an Evo conversion is simply an unattainable feat being a Mitsubishi :)

Evo coupe FTW!

You're right bro, but Mirage-Integra comparison is merely a coupe-coupe comparison. Integra is not rare but it's not that common either, how many DC2s have I seen in the KL traffic everyday? One. KL traffic of course have tens of thousands of cars here.

For a quick peek of the used car market prices in KL, there's a genuine Type R on sale at Mudah and it's for RM55k:
http://www.mudah.my/Honda+Integra+DC2+Type+R+96spec-11402909.htm

It's JDM, unconverted, genuine Type R with factory-fitted B18C: the most high spec of high spec B engines. For stock cars, you can't better that. This unit also comes with tasteful mods such as Tein, Mugen and Spoon accessories. B18C engine may not be as powerful as a turbo but with close ratio gearbox most people just can't afford to make the mistake of underestimating it.

Integra is for the Honda enthusiasts, for the Toyota community the Trueno BZR AE111 coupe is the best of the best of 4AGE. JDM, unconverted and comes factory-fitted with the MAP sensored Blacktop 4 throttle engine. Looks very handsome too:
http://www.mudah.my/Toyota+Trueno+BZR-9877335.htm

How many Trueno BZR have I seen in the everyday KL traffic? None. Is it rare? Hell yes it's rare. Valued at RM6xk but valuation by seller and valuation by buyer are two different things. Both must match for a sale to happen. Note the date of the advertisement. As I said before RM6xk already creeps into the region of Silvia S15, Integra DC5, etc.

Don't forget the king: Skyline:
http://www.mudah.my/Nissan+Skyline+R32-10744134.htm

Just before anybody thinks there's something wrong with the advertisement, I remember there was a R32 non GTR put on sale for below RM50k at a drift forum few years back. R32 comes with RWD RB20 turbo. Rarity? Tell me. Potential for mods? Tell me again. RB26 halfcut price vs. Evo? Well...

I can remember a red Sarawak Lancer coupe unit on sale in Mudah few years back, however that unit comes with a Lancer front, not Mirage Asti or Evo. If I'm not mistaken that unit was put on sale at RM3xk.

Mirage Asti is a very good looking car and I'm very very sure you can find a willing buyer from the Lancer enthusiast community, just as the Honda Civic EJ coupe is highly-regarded in the Civic community.

The price to pay to be rare.. I would if i could, as i like the attention and the street cred.. Collectors item, IN Malaysia...hahaha :proud:
I think 45K would be an ok starting point...Almost got myself a Civic EJ7 coupe a few years back(2006),B16A inside,asking price rm33K, Sarawak plate.But could not let go of my Wira that time. Am still keen in getting a coupe as i like the design of a coupe..

 

[deanengson]

Thanks for the positive review guys.. I guess I'll hold on to her.. My main aim is for her to reach the front cover of a magazine :)

 

[Kevin Lee]

it will automatically, LOL, thats a given!

 

[deanengson]

Haha thanks man. I still need to touch up a lot before I will even let her enter any magazine.

I've got rust on the roof, looking for a new roof feels suicidal for this car. Dammit

Bro, I'm not sure if ur situation is same like mine or not, mine is a Lancer CK 97, fully paid and was offered few times already. Initially was to sell it off and get a real evo, or sti but ended up spendin around 15k to fix it up and transplant to 4G93T. Was tempted to go for evo but due to few factors like being FF and 2WD, fuel consumption, budget and sourcing for evo halfcut I end up with the 4G93T.

I choose this path coz I don't need to pay monthly installment for a new or used car, I can easily continue my project and restoring the Lancer till I'm satisfied. If ur Mirage is fully paid u definitely can do the same. About rust, I am lucky as the Lancer is in the family since it touch down at Malaysia and while doing the transplant I almost strip everything on the car and didn't find any rust on the body. Rust was found however on the so called newer 99+ spec CM5A halfcut but those parts were not used or replaced.

Do consider bout ur options, I seen a few Mirage with Evo front, it looks abit wierd if done wrongly but if done right it looks kinda nice.
