Car is going up for sale soon once I finish buttoning up a few things.
If you know the car and want details, PM me, as I won't be listing it here on the forums.
It's time to get out of the car game for a while.

I keep telling myself that I need to do at least one track day with it before she's gone, but I don't know if that will actually play out or not.
It's to the point where I have so much work into the car that I really have no desire to drive it. This has been my downfall with previous cars as well.
I purchased the car for $15,500, put $18,500 more into it, and will be hard pressed to get over $20K. Gotta love the Evo market.
The old Bimmers are great because they're fun to tinker with but don't require a ton of attention if you just want to cruise.
eyyyyoo!

a well built Evo, with obvious good maintenance, all the paperwork to back it up, etc. etc. can go for a good bit over 20k. Sure, plenty go for 20k or less depending on a lot of variables. But, if you hold out for a buyer who values the quality workmanship over a cheap buy, you can get more for the car than what all the cheap sales you see make it seem.
That's just my opinion, I guess. But... if I were to buy a 2nd Evo, I'd look at the 17k cars as potential track builds, and the 25k cars as potentials to buy, enjoy, and drive around.
YMMV

I think my frustration comes in knowing that I'll get haggled over little things that you can't do much about. My chassis has 100K, but the only part (literally) original to the chassis is the rear diff, which has been rebuilt, so it's difficult to price the car taking that into consideration.
I'm hoping someone who knows the car will scoop it up and begin to use it for what it was built for.

Will I always have something to tinker with? Definitely.
Will I want another project like the Evo? Never again.
Just drive it like it is. You have a solid build and as long as you dont abuse the **** out of it it should provide a fun ride for a long time. You have soo much work in it! You can drive to the studio faster, allowing you more time to focus on work!!!
