I may actually be selling my car!!
Been doing lotsof thinking lately... and the 7 may just have to go.
I love the car... I can't stress that enough.. I just love it, but I just don't have the time for it anymore.
It's a great car, but realistically, it's not the best daily driver in terms of maintanence.
I am now working an engineering job, and going back to school again in the fall, and I just don't have the time to devote to this car. Plus I have a few trailers for bikes and sea-doos.. and the 7 just isn't a great tow vehicle. I'd be getting a truck- something that I wouldn't give a second thought to even THINKING about going fast in. That's the problem... I'm never satisfied.
I'm just thinking now how much I could get for the car.
Here's the specs... 165,000 KM (100k miles)
1990 GXL, literally absolutely mint interior. Seats are
perfect, as is the whole interior.
Brand new engine, running well, not even broken in yet.
Body is great, the car shines, a few small rust bubble spots (a couple on the sunroof, and one on the back of the pass. rear fender)
Of course the fantastic turbo conversion, fully done now, with S-AFC and all....
Click on the link in my sig for details...
The rough points on the car- leaky exhaust, needs attention- new hangers and a new flange on the borla (leaks...)
Getting a code from the boost sensor under WOT
Ummm.... that's all!!
The point of this post-
I'm just wondering what would be a reasonable price for the car.... any ideas? I don't know, I definately don't think any less than about 4,000 Canadian.. I just don't know what's even close. The best part is it doesn't have to pass emmisions in Ontario because I'm exempt due to the "hot-rod" status of having a different engine under the hood!
Thanks!

The turbo conversion is bulletproof... the only thing that is a little questionable is a 3" length of high pressure fuel injection hose I'm using as an oil cooler line coupling... I need stainless lines.

Ideally, I'd keep it and keep it as the weekend warrior/project. The car is DAMN fast now, and I'm constantly getting compliments on it from people on the street, but I don't have the money for a second car without selling this one.
Crap.
Crap.
