    How do I find out how much my car Is worth…. From the collectors standpoint.

    Does the faced that it is a 4 door make the value go up or down??

    I would venture to say probably 1/3rd the value of a comparable 2-door car. It's not that there is anything wrong with your car, it's just that probably 90% of the enthusiasts go after 2-door cars because of there more sporty appearance.

    i love the 4 doors but unfortunately i have to agree with everyone above. 4 doors typically don't bring a fraction of what a comperable 2 door brings. there have been a few exceptions to this lately so nothing is a fact but just a general rule.

    I agree with Jason, I also like the 4-doors just as much as the 2-doors, I think part of the problem in value is that almost every 4-door someone has is always left stock and not resto-modded like the 2-doors. The statements in value here are true, but in my opinion they should be worth the same amount. That's my view.
