I don't know. **** **** ****.
Ya man, it doesnt hurt to try it out at that price. Depending on how patient you are, you can always lower the price and try again at a later time. Parting out is a beeeoch. Do you still have all of your stock parts?

I have the majority of them, minus the exhaust and suspension. I could get those pretty cheap though. I am up in the air. I will let it sit for a month or so and see how it goes. Thanks again for the advice. If people really want any of the parts that are on it PM me and I will make a note of it if I part it out.

I still have my Stock MR Bilsteins + Springs that I'd be willing to let go cheap if you need those to go back to stock. PM if you want.

Ouch, sorry to hear selling the car. I am interested in some stuff if you part it out. Which, you will most likely have to do to sell it. I would be suprised if you could get $30k for it. (and this is one of the best built cars I've seen in awhile.)

I want a tag!

You're asking $34,000.

You'll get half that if you sell it as it sits.

So don't sell it.

Modifications add little to no value and make it even harder to sell.

IX's used to fetch a bit of a premium. Say around dealer retail for a private party sale. Now, EVO's in general aren't moving at all.

The last time I heard of one selling was my white one.

*This is not meant to flame or incite but it's just my observation as someone who has had three of the car you are trying to sell.

I know if I had to do it all over again, I'd buy a modded car to start with. Save so much money in the end or at least bought a nice used Porsche.

If you find a smart buyer, he'd still be getting a steal.

It was at 38k this morning.

It really does suck that all the money and hard work that goes into cars, just to get next to pennies on the dollar for the mods.

Yeah, there is no way I will get 38. I'll let it sit at 34. If I get it, great, if not, then I will just let it sit until I get a chance to drive it, and then have to save up for a little while to get my SUV. I hate financing cars though, which is why I would rather sell this one before going out and getting a new car.

Thanks for all the good advice. Those of you who PMed me I will keep in mind what parts you want if it ever comes to that, I will give you local guys dibs for sure.
