the quetions might help ey? heh, had to walk out of the room real quick so I just stuck that up to turn some heads.
I'm lookin to buy an 89' turbo FC, 70K miles, rebuild 5000 ago, 28x6x3 intercooler, exedy 12 lb fly, ACT clutch, Apexi S-AFC, HKS Turbo Timer, FCD, Momo wheel, 2 gauge pilar cluster, custom short shifter, RB ( ???) full turbo back exhaust, Greddy throttle arm, etc.

Would anyone here go as far as to say that this car is worth 1000 over book, this all being installed properly and the engine being checked by a certified dealer at the owners expense? Because I'm havin a helluva time convincing my dad to help me get this car.

Sadly I'm in a jetta at the moment, but I'm looking to remedy that......
so what do you think?

the car looks a lot like the FC you have in your profile there Crono. in fact, aside from the wheels it's exactly the same. Color, wing, body style.

nice fc by the way crono. And yes, I looked at the link before I posted. The answers I'm lookin for aren't comin from lists unfortunately. I need opinions from you guys. because honestly, I priced out what it would cost to put those things, which I wanted to begin with, on my car, and I can't afford it.

Private party which always seems a bit low to me, is about 3800. Retail is just shy of 5000 on the money.

The kid has taken really good car of this car and has put a lot of time effort and $$$ into it from what I've seen, so I don't wanna insulte him with 3800 with all that not so stock stuff on it.


....?
