....I could be wrong, but the proof is in the actual sale of the vehicle, countless times I have seen cars heavily modded, forget trading in at the dealer, and the used car market............who would ever spend $50,000 for car with no warranty....it's not me being crazy, it's simply the used car market.....the car would only be of interest to less than 1% of serious used car market buyers, adn they would be collectors or persons who simply can 'dispose' of fifty grand at whim....
when the car sells, post the honest selling price........again I could be wrong (although unlikely)

lexusnexus,
You definately have valid points. However, you can say I am sort of the odd ball. I had the cash to spend to buy it, destroy it, fix it, ship it back and forth to and from Texas and 10 other things in a matter of 3 months and less than 1400 miles. During my ownership of the vehicle, I have never held back in terms of spending...that is why some people called me crazy.
I think I am offering a fair price; however, I am open to suggestions. Please do note, this is my first car I ever bought (as used and new), and my first time I am ever selling a car. So, please excuse if I am not an expert at this process.
As for racing it, I think I can find multiple of people who can vouch for my driving style. To sum it up, I drive like a granny. Even when I drove on the highway, I drove on the right side of the freeway doing speed limit or under. I thought I was into speed, until I had a car that could go fast.

I know this might come off as a lowball but I'll give you 33k for the car(its all i have). I live in Orange County so there won't be any long distance communication. If you're interested at all AIM
rohaberdasher email: dirtymxcniga@aol.com phone: 714-482-8407. Either way if you're unable to sell the car in the time you want to drop me an email/IM/call and perhaps we can work something out either way. I know you've put a ton of money into the car but some things(such as $5,000 for shipping) just can't be passed on to the next buyer. Again, sorry if you think I'm lowballing you but its just an honest offer.
