What do you think my '06 TR is worth on the market?

6,000 miles. White. Prodrive springs and Prodrive round-tip exhaust. Well-cared for. Properly broken in with careful driving under 4,000 rpm for the first 1,000 miles. Never raced, never trashed.

MSRP $24,000. What do you think it's worth if I sell it?

I'll take those springs regardless what its worth.

I'd say like 21k-22k, it would be hard to sell since its so new.

Do you have a sound-clip for the Prodrive exhaust?

No. But you can hear the Prodrive here...

I've heard many, and in my opinion, the Prodrive is the nicest and one of the deeper ones without involving the law, which has recently budgetted a crackdown on aftermarket exhaust on imports.

I'm not parting out anything. If I sell, the entire car goes to the lucky new owner.

Thanks.

Return the car to stock and sell it. It is much harder to sell a modified car.

I concur. What do you want for the exhaust?

Sounds like it'll have badly seated pistons rings and cylinder wall glazing. You need to hit redline at least a few times in the first 1000 miles.

typical rule of thumb for cars is a 20% depreciation as soon as you drive it off the lot. I would go with 20-21k for this.

+1 for the 06 tr. I have one with a stage 2 set up, helix catback and its awesome.
bump for great car.

Mudman...don't even get this debate started. You very well that there are many opinions to this matter, and none of which (that I know of) have cold hard proof that its method is the best way to break in a car. Give him a break.

Thanks for your opinion. For years I've read the debate for both sides. The pro red-line break-in argument extrapolates information from motorcycle engines, which shows evidence that the procedure *might* be helpful for a motorcycle. This method has not been proven for automobiles. I made the decision to follow manufacturer's advice.
