Our pumpkin (2001 kat), would you believe she can read???? When she read about being abused , she asked me please, please, please abuse me. I would bet if they could buy your kat for a song, the first thing they would mentioned would be the mods, and all their friends would comment what a deal.

Actually your read was right, I was planning on starting an auction on POA, but then came to the conclusion that losing $13K on a car in a month was as low as I could go. Well I guess there's a positive to all of this. Members of POA realize how important it is to maintain fair market value for a collector car like a KAT. This site literally controls the market for these cars and the POA members, for the most part, are very business minded, so the longer I sit on a Black 2000 with under a thousand miles, the higher in value it shall climb. Sorry to hear you lost your Kat in a divorce, I guess it's true what they say, cheaper to keeper........Once again, thanks for everyone's help and support with respect to selling this thing, I will post it again on Ebay and hope that there truly is a buyer for every seat.

Semper Fi!

Doc- I knew you would be looking to replace your kat sooner or later. Hope you get another one soon.

First sorry for the reason you are selling and I honestly hope you get the price (if not more) then you want but,
the POA and it's members do not control the price of this car.

Assuming all 2500 registered members actively participate on this site, that is only 1/5 of the total cats out there.

1/5 can not control a market when 4/5's aren't playing by those rules. I think it safe to say all 2500 aren't still here so the number will be some degree lower.

Of those still here, I think it's obvious that some folks in here have sold their cars for a variety of reasons and may still participate on this board but, they no longer have a cat.

The value of these cars could be driven by the owners if all 12,000 were accounted for but, you'd still have folks selling for a variety of reasons (ie. babies, death, work, spouse, etc.) thta make dictating price impossible.

These cars are driven by market demand and interest. With dealers still having new 2000's, 2001's and 2002's out there (with some incredible deals and still sitting there) it is impossible for folks with used ones (even low mileage ones) to dictate the market.

Another factor is that the vehicle is not made any more. Now it seems that since they stopped production, that prices would soar but, 1) there is a reason they stopped production and 2) after stopping, values plummet for years.

Now that is not to say your cat won't be worth $60K again, someday, just don't expect it in the next 5-10 years

Another detractor is that these are toy cars. Yes, I know some folks drive them every day but, to most families that have kids and can only afford daily transporation, this is not even on the radar.

As far as your car goes, if the add ons aren't listed in NADA or KBB, they will bring little more to you car value.
I'm not knocking what you did to the car, it looks great but, when folks can buy an almost new 200 black with less then 1000 miles for $30K, why would they want to add on another $18K for those things? Granted, they may like them but, most banks probably wouldn't give a loan for $4K over sticker on a used almost 4 year (ie. banks go off blue book and add-ons listed in it).

IMO, and strictly MO, if you are serious about selling it, I'd remove as many items as you could and sell them here or on eBay and sell the car as stock as possible.

Whatever you chose to do, good luck to you!
