I'm sure there is lots more misc maintenance I'm forgetting. I'll post pics so you get an idea of the cars condition and overall look.

Thanks again for any input.

 

 

MY GOD Jason...are you crazy?! After the CRAZY hours you've put into that car? Mr. Meticulous? Dude, there's a serious rarity of such clean cars, and of all modes, a BASE?! I think you're crazy to even consider selling it. If you must, wait. I'll take it

What? Who gave you permission to sell that car??
It should be worth a lot considering the condition it's in... You should add : "Great attention getter". IIRC every time I've been at the meet and seen it someone has commented on how nice the car is, even in the midst of all our other fd's...
If you part it let me know . Can't decide what price to put it at, but at least on ebay prices have been going up so good luck with the sale if you do it... but dont :P.

(side note: is that a driving glove on the seat?)

 

Thanks for the comments/ego stroking guys.

That's a weight lifting glove. I have to move the car out of the garage in order to use the weight set, I guess I set the gloves in the seat while I took the pics.

 

Mr. Meticulous is right. This guy cares more about how my car is looking more than I do. Even a speck of dust is unacceptable to this OCD neat freak.

I can vouch for Jason's car. It's one clean car. Soundly built and meticulously kept.

 

Definitly a clean car, why sell it Jason, just a couple more years till graduation, and you have a daily driver, keep it =)

wow.. beautiful.. send me a pm if you decide to sell.. the cloth seats are eh in my opinion but haha i guess that depends on the person

 

Well Jason, looks like you've got a bunch of free bumps if you make a thread to sell her

 

any better shots of the engine? Car is beautiful btw...

 

ill give ya 10,500

 

You are out of your mind man!!!

 

I say 14k to 18k.

 

I say 18 or better.

 

Nothing less than $18k. Don't take anything less.

 

Coming from the guy with the RAISED FD 4x4, hahah :lmao:

Jason's car is really clean...

GL with the sale, and dont blow the 18k on a coke party.

 

no less than 18,000. I have no experience with this car, but if it is anything like what these people are saying, its a gem. Plus the guys name is Jason, no one named Jason can be a bad guy!! good luck

If you want to sell in a few weeks: $14k, a few months: $16k, a few years: $18k, never: $18k+.

I would pull the mods off and sell them separately.

 

Well put and exactly what I was thinking as well.

BTW to those that PMed me, I did NOT say I was parting my car out or even certain I was selling it yet, but thanks for the interest.

 

i think it's worth 16 to 18 K .... very nice car, you should keep it

Max

 

Some more shots....









Realistically I'm thinking 16k, maybe 17 tops if I wait for the right buyer. The rear hatch needs to be repainted because I had an RB type 2 wing that was removed. The interior is nearly flawless with the exception of some fading in the seats and one small hole in the drivers seat.

It may still be a while before I sell the car, but if anyone who sees this is really interested, feel free to PM me for more info.

 

that car is too nice to sell. If it was mine I would ask to be buried in it.

 

In cali I would go for 18k I think you have a good cance of geting it if you sell it in a high end car market.

 

that car is too good to sell. keep it!
love the color *drools*. its probably my fav color on the FD!
edit: oh yeah, id probably pay 16.5-18K(hmm...maybe not 18k w/o shipping) for if there arent any problems with it , seriously though, if i had the money i would consider buying your fd if you were gona sell it. and probably 18.5k to ship it across the country to NYC

 

I'm really interested...in bashing your face in if you sell this! lol. C'mon Jason. KEEP HER. Seriously. (Psst...yo, you know I got dibs on the base seats, right right? )

BTW, I think the TB is feeling very lonely and left out...
