to sell or not to sell...
 

what up guys, it's been a while, and lately... i've been thinking about selling my fc...!

i don't know if it's the best idea or not, but it doesn't get driven much anymore, and if i do decide to sell it... should i part it out? or should i sell as a whole?

here are the specs:

- 1989 chassis w/ 160k mi approx
- 1990 rebuilt ported mazdatrix n/a 13b w/ approx 60k miles
- 1990 tranny w/ 150k mi
(i totaled the 1990 on the freeway on the way to the track, transplanted everything to a 1989 body)
- Full racing beat exhaust
- apexi intake
- jacobs ignition amp
- Koyo Radiator
- Black Magic e-fan w/ switch
- mazdatrix strut tower bar w/ integrated torque brace
- adjustable kyb's w/ less than 30k mi on them
- racing beat linear rate springs w/ less than 15k mi on them
- suspension techniques or autoexe front and rear sway bars (don't remember offhand)
- rebuild s4 LSD - less than 10k mi on the new clutch pack
- Hawk HP+ brake pads
- drilled & slotted brembo rotors
- mazdatrix braided stainless steel brake lines
- mazdatrix short shift kit
- mazdaspeed shift knob
- Recaro SPD driver's seat (i'm thinking of keeping the passenger seat, don't ask why)

i also have (separate)
- 2 leather door panels off of an s5 tII
- 6 s5 tII style rims, 4 w/ falken azenis sports 205/55/16 i think
- an extra s5 oil cooler
- momo monte carlo steering wheel
- spare rear s5 bumper
- 1 leather s5 seat (2 if i don't keep the passenger recaro)

it ran great the last time i drove it (unfortunately it's been a while and i think the battery is dead now)

the car might have other stuff on it, but i'm not sure right now...

but yeah, pro's and cons of selling?? and if i am selling/parting, who in socal wants stuff or the car? cuz i don't plan on shipping :)

welcome back to me.

- pcs (who's employed now, so now i'm a pcperson? or a pcper? or maybe i'm just straight pcp.)

junk it fawker. PM me so i can tow that junk of yours FREE OF CHARGE

what is the reason you dont drive it? are you still in school and poor? can you afford to keep up with maintenance and gas prices? if you enjoy driving the car, keep it. if not, sell it.

oh and btw,
i want:
rad, e-fan, and brake system (if its 4 pot)
:bigok:

i don't drive it anymore b/c i'm driving a speed6 now...
i don't have any space at my apt in LA to keep it, so it stays at home w/ my parents.
i don't have as much time anymore now that i'm working,

and it's not like the speed6 is slow or it is useless on the track... i took it to buttonwillow and it was a blast!!

there's also a turbo kit that ATP is coming out w/ that puts a gt3071r in it that puts 325awhp untuned... altho... i want to keep it stock for as long as possible (minus the auto-exe springs i already put in)

i also figure that if i'm not going to drive it that much, why keep it, when i can pay off cc's or fund my other hobbies... unlike the other old school belligerents, i hope to come back to the rotary one day :D

I say you part out as much as you can while keeping the car in running condition, then sell the car for whatever you can get for it.

there really isn't too much i can part out while keeping it in running condition... maybe the ignition amp, the strut tower bar, and the shift knob...??


note: i also have spare ignition coils

you could just put it back to stock and sell it like that.
il give you my stock fan, rad, and brake system (calipers, rotors, and pads) plus cash to trade for yours? then you can sell the car whole.

yeah. sell your parts and ask the buyer to trade their stock parts + cash.

If you do decide to part it out I would be interested in the RB catback and maybe the midpipe. Sway bars if they are ST, and maybe the LSD...

How much would you want for it as it sits?

honestly i'd be looking in the 3000 range, give or take, depending on the situation.

This was the car I was in at laguna seca when i was chasing down that ferrari (if anyone remembers mazfest :)) <disclaimer: the driver sucked>... altho at other track days in the beginner/intermediate groups, i'd catch some evo's sti's, s2k's, fd's, and elise's... altho i also got smoked by much slower cars... driver skills >> car ability

Sell that piece of crap ey! What are you waiting for? :D

sentimental value homie...!! jeebus!! it's like your first piece of poon that's hard to let go of... it takes a bit, hahaha

that requires work for which i have no time... it's either all part or all in tact...

want some upgrades for your fc?? haha

While you are at it....sell that slow arse MS6 too!!

Junk the 6 and keep the 7.

Oh, and unlike my other Belligerent ass friends, I still own a rotary too. Anyone wanna buy my 73 rx1?

Sure. Junk that RX1 too!!!

If you don't drive it, sell it.

yeah, but i always 'plan' to drive it later... haha

just get a truck. that's what I'm planning to do. yay. :(

*sigh

Junk it!!!! I'll take the LSD lol

ok, so i've decided that the 2 options as of now are to sell the car as a whole or keep it. I don't have the time to part it out, nor do i have the heart to part it out and have pieces sit there until someone wants them...

:)

I need to see pics of this 3K FC.. I'll give yah 1K and this offer lasts until the end of the day.

ill give ya $900 for that crapbox... towing is on MEE

550 is my final offer PCS. For an old friend. :D
