Here is the link so you can read it all, as I am sure you all do not want me to post it =)

All comments appreciated,

put it back to stock otherwise youll have to sell it at a loss, at least if you part it out you can get some of your money back

Hey All,

Honestly guys, I do not have time to part it back to stock. I need about twenty grand, if not more, by next Friday. I know this is obviously a killer deal... But sometimes money becomes unimportant when something pops up that could change a life, particularly my life. Thank you all for the replys..

And to the one who asked if their was anything wrong with it, No there is absolutely nothing. I drove it today for the first time in awhile and it is an absolutely blast.

If anyone is interested, please let me know through a PM or through eBay. Thank you all very much... It means a lot.

u should tell everyone what is wrong with this car.. my buddy was GOING to buy this with the trade of his civic.

you bought the car for 23k with everything done to it, basically u put 3k miles on it and jacked up the price to 27k..

also, the transfer case has the death whine and the tranny is basically SHOT. my buddy asked u to meet him at AMS so he could put it on the dyno, as well as have them do a compression and leakdown test but you declined..

Nice car, lots of good parts. Is that true about the previous post. If it is then you might have a little problem selling it here.

Definitely worth $25k.

Well if this true you may want to disclose what the problems the car has.You don't want to sell someone a car and have it comeback with problems you knew about and didn't tell the buyer.That is bad karma.You may want to sell your car for less or at least repair the problems or help with the cost of repairs if someone does buy your car.Just don't burn anyone.

There is nothing wrong with the car. How the hell would you know? And I did do some to it, actually. You have never seen my car and never will. Therefore you would not know. Your buddy with the Civic was not willing to add enough for my taste, as I basically refuse to drive a Civic. I did a compression and leak down test on my own also (I am a student with a Auto Shop to my full access, lift, almost every tool imaginable, alignment rack, etc.). And the findings were good, almost the exact same on the compression test too. Definitely less then the 20% difference or so that I think it is.

And in terms of the drivetrain, yes the transfercase is starting its infamous whine, but even stock Evos have that problem. Also, I have been telling people who are interested in the car that the Transfercase and Transmission should be rebuilt either way, just so you know.

i think its not too shabby of a price. Have you ever tried putting it on autotrader? i sold my modded 240sx in a matter of mins the first day I put the add.

good luck with the sale. hope it goes to a worthy owner.
