If you don't have a car alarm, I'm not sure they'd be looking for it.

So, speaking of garbage like U.S. Top Gear, I finally switched back to 93 and the stock BOV. Holy quiet and slow. I'm not used to not having driveability issues. Driving around is so much more boring now...its gonna be a long winter.

well watched the US Top Gear last night. It was a technically perfect copy of the UK version, but without any soul or chemistry.

Oddly enough this the exact same thing you could say about Ford products.

Well boys, the time has come. I have really not had the chance to enjoy the car recently, and with the new job and traveling, I doubt I will in the future. I am going to upgrade to a nice SUV for the time being, and I am garaging the car until it can be sold.

If anyone local is interested I will reduce the price a little, but would like to recoup as much as possible. I have obviously spent a ton of money on this car with modifications, so I might have to part some out to get some of that back. Regardless, I will be taking a loss any way you cut it.

$38,000 for a heavily modded evo with 56,000 miles?

That is what I would like to get for it, but I doubt it will come to that. The motor in this car alone is 6,000 just for the block/head and most of the engine parts have less than 2,500 miles on them. What do you think a reasonable price for it is?

That was a serious question too. I value your opinions.

GL with the sale. The idea sucks, but you will probably have to part out if you want to recoup a fraction of what you spent. For this area, the price is a bit optimistic. If you lived in a southern state or on the west coast, you might be able to get close to what you are asking....

with all due respect, you seem like a really good guy, and i understand you have put an incredible amount of work in to that car.

but modding a car doesn't make it worth more.

especially when that car is so heavily changed.

you would probably be better off putting it back to stock and parting out the mods from it.

on the other hand, if you find someone willing to pay that much for it (keep in mind they're going to have to have cash in hand because it is a used car and the loan will only cover a certain amount of the value), then sure. charge whatever you can get.

-edit-

also sorry to see her go

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I guess I will just see if I get any hits on it in the next month or so. If not then I will consider parting it out. The problem is that I am short on garage space, so i would have to rent a place to part it out, or pay someone to do it thus spending more on the car.

I don't know. **** **** ****.
