What would you say you are looking to get without the mods and with the current problems......

Default I dunno

That's a tough question.

I am not capable of reversing all the mods myself, and it seems the cost of reversing a lot of them may be prohibitively expensive. At least judging from what it cost to have them put on. The other problem is since I don't have a lot of the original parts, I would only be able to swap (LSD, sways, LCB, Grill) with local folks (their stock parts for my mods).

I guess another way of asking the question is, what would be a 'fair' offer for the car with the mods?

Default No interest?

Looking for input on sale.....

I have orded the AC parts, will be fixed in a week or two. Ordered O2 sensors too.

With these two issues fixed, is $14,000 too high?

Maybe it's me, but with over $3 grand in mods, it seems fair!?

..mods generally add no value to a car, and in some cases can bring in less money. Modded cars appeal to a very small sliver of car buyers and returning it to stock and selling it local may bring you even more than your asking price

Default LAST Last Chance - $8,500

All PMs returned.

$8,500 seems pretty fair to me. Needs tires cause it now has 176K on it.

Comes with manuals, two O2 sensors(NIB), ceramic pads for rear (NIB).

Parked in garage. Need to drop off at dealer or sell (and get money) before next weekend.

PM or call on cell 215-208-6557.

PM sent.

Compressor was replaced, condensor needs to be replaced now.

O2 sensors are in 'new in the box' in the trunk, but the CEL hasn't come on for months and I am hesitant to take the time to bring it into the shop if I don't need to.

Still runs well!
