Hard to sell built Evo???
hi,
ive had some issues with my built motor and now im trying to decide if i should rebuild it or part out with it and get a stock longblock. Ive decided to move on from the evo and was wondering if its easier to sell a stock block with bolt ons car or a fully built car? appreciate the help.

I think the biggest problem with built evos is the buyer market is slim. Most people finance evos especially of its a 9/X or so. So that meant they would have to have a decent amount of cash to put in top to afford a built one. That and the fact you never know who's headache you are getting.

In my mind, I would rather buy a built car than one that was built and put back to stock. If it was put back to stock you get all the extra wear and tear from being heavily modified w/ none of the fun.
However, even though a put back to stock car is worth less than an actual stock car, it may be worth it if you can sell some of the high dollar parts separately.
Depends on how much time/work you wanna put into it, and how well done/documented your mods are.

If your built shortblock is giving you issues, you might be better off putting it back to stock.
My personal opinion, I become very picky when it comes to buying a built evo vs stock.
A built evo that was returned to stock, in my opinion, most of the time is rushed as its returned to stock. Bolts might be missing, hoses not routed like oem etc. In that case I would rather buy a built evo. Then again, I judge the character of the seller a bit if I were to look at a built evo. I will usually make an assumption, whether the car was taken care of or just beat to hell, judging by the sellers character. A little cheezy maybe, but its what I do haha.

Here is what I did and many others with good credit can do..... I bought a car without the engine for a decent price, got a loan for a little more and will have a running car for quite a bit less than loan value.
For example: Say your car blue books for $27k, you decide to part it out and sell the shell for $5k. That allows someone with good credit to get a loan for $15-20k and buy your car and put their own built motor, etc in it. Allowing them to have a built car for potentially $12k less than blue book. Does that make sense?
