So you bought the car, drove it 9k, swapped it and drove it 1k and now trying to sell it?!

Any reason? Sorry, it just seems like an odd thing to do, unless it was a flip from the get go. Which is fine and def better than something going wrong and trying to pass the issues onto someone else.

Ive been in contact with the seller. Great guy! He wants to buy a house like what it says on the first page, he said he does not need to sell but would like to in order to put more down on a house.

If you have any doubts, its available to look at, which when I get back Im going to go look at the car if it hasnt sold yet.

BUMP for my good homie !! and a great honest seller too @ it !!

Thanks Jay..

Nothing funny about the car. It runs perfect, boosts strong, does not burn oil or smoke. Only thing wrong is that the traction control does not work. This is very common with this swap. Also there is a sweak/rattle at the belt that I'm trying to figure out. Everything else is just wear and tear. Who ever buys this car will get a complete honest rundown from me so he/she will know exactly whats going on with the car.

This is not a flip...more of a trying to get my money back. I'm selling everything I have right now to save as much as I can so I can put a large down payment on a house. The house is a necessity, and my GS is just a luxury. After selling this GS I plan on getting a beater car of about $2k or less. Once everything is settled then I will get another GS and do the swap all over again....except to keep it for sure this time. At least this is my plan at the moment...

Any issues with smog / registration?

How do you protect the intercooler (looks pretty exposed)?

Thanks

Only thing bad with high mileage chassis, are the bushings. I have all the ball joints, and bushings ready to be replaced. The electronics are all good...mileage does not effect electronics...just years.


In regards to protecting the intercooler. Currently its wide open halfway. The other half is hidden behind the bumper. I was planning on getting a grill and TTE lip. Smog shouldn't be a problem... Registration is already paid and good until April 2011.

Lots of interests, but no real buyer yet. Few also flakes. I'll wait for the right offer. I'm also open for trades of stock cars only please.

Still for sale. Throw me some offer guys if you are serious with cash. If the price is right I'll throw in the entire front end bushing and ball joint kit...will make the car feel like new. Thanks
