1996 GST - is it worth selling?/can i get anything for it?
Hey guys i'm in need of some help / opinions.
Mainly if its worth selling as it is, and how much i could get for it?
(not a FS:topic)
(sorry that this is my first post guys, not trying to spam, but i really could use the advice of people who know about this car (my long time - honda-tech account wasn't going to cut it)
I have a 1996 GST that i got from a friend and i'm in a bit of a bind and need to sell it ASAP (there's an off chance i might not yet, depending on what you guys say.)
It has 100k on the clock,(Red), 1997-99 stock bumper/kit with stock Wing /blow off valve/ TEIN adjustable kit, exhaust, new Clutch and fork(missing front driver side skirt piece, the smaller part of the 2 pieces by the quarter panel)
The Problem lies in the fact that there is a crack around the frame of the passenger side strut ! (haven't been driving it). To my knowledge it can be welded before it starts to crack more for a mere $100. The TEIN adjustables need to be serviced and sent to TEIN, but definitely not as expensive as buying a whole new adjustable kit. Car also needs a Power steering pump as well as easy maintenance like oil-change / inspection / hard need of anti-freeze flush etc. It does have 5 spoke 17' wheels / tires are good.
Does anyone here think i could sell it for $1000 <-- too low ? Be completely honest. Can i get a little more?
To someone who wants a "project" or "running for/with repairs"
Any help would be much appreciated. I really wish i had the space time and money to repair it

thanks
Thanks for the reply, i wasn't aware that they rotted out, especially for a 96. There's no rust spots anywhere on the car either.
The thing is, the bolt popped off when i hit a pot-hole and the piston dropped underneath the strut tower/frame. That ultimate caused the very small crack to lengthhen. I'm thinking it might have weakened already from the drop with the Teins and this caused it to crack. Unfortunately i dont have the space right now to part it. So i think i'll try to sell it to someone who wants it for a parts car or to repair. I'm thinking the welding might work, but knowing they do rot out is a little scary.
