I saw your car doing a burnout on a video i downloaded i swear, "Cars Gone Wild" was the name of it.

QUESTION: How did you rig those Teg corners to fit? I have my old ones from my 98 and i wanted to do that, but couldnt figure out how. thanks.

197K miles is the body. I'm pretty sure the motor is way under that. $18,000 is a bit too much.

That's a lot of dough but what was put into that car, that's a pretty decent value. Most likely not going to get that much for it though.

seems like a fair price to me..even though he is still gonna have trouble finding someone to buy it. the car with that many miles on it is still worth about 8k or 9k. PLus its got an h22 swap, with only 35k on the engine, and it seems that he has replaced most of the parts in the vehicle that have any considerable wear and tear. Honestly, when i'm lookin to buy a car..i'm not too worried about how many miles the body has..i'm going to be more intersted in the major parts...tranny, engine, shocks, cv joints, etc.
thats just my 2 cents.

how does it have 35K on the engine? he said it was a 94 h22a!
don't those only have from 160-190hp? the 94 was a diff motor if I remember right, and it had like no tork. Maybe 94 was a misprint, but still, anyone with a motor swap drove their car very very hard!!!

i did an compression test and got results of 210 across the block.

i'm not sure if that good, i have no clue about these things.

i'm asking 16000 for the car.

the extra 1000 is for the shipping

i ask uhaul to rent a full trailer for 9 days to ship for example to cali, the cost is 600, and to rent and truck to pulled the car is 400.

and thats not including GAS...

why don't i sell it localy, i'm scared if i see the car again, i might me temped to steal the car back from him, for that one last ride.

i invested 40000 add alot of stuff mostly fixing things like cv joint
upper lower control arms, bushing, replace motors, tv etc......
got new brake caliper front and rear, brakes...

petty much like a brand new car with high kms....

i want to keep this car so much i do not want to depart
but i can't find a job right now, so i can't continue to add more money into the car

17g US is a little too much to be honest. a 97 2.2 CL with 120,xxx miles goes for $6-7K. a 94 h22 goes for around $800 for a complete swap.

what year is your car again?

Are we talking canadian money or U.S.?


Also, you do realize the mods on your car lose atleast 50% of their value when it comes to selling them on the car. I mean shit, if you trade in a car w/ springs and rims they usually give you less cash then if it was completely stock

When you start to invest money into your car, you just have to realize that you won't get any of your money back.

Unless your car is a classic. Then it isn't so bad.

What you need to find is a young kid with rich parents. Then, you will get what you are asking. LOL.

Good Luck with the sale.

ok i just looked at all your pics. there is no way in hell you spent $40,000 on that car unless you're counting gas and insurance for the last 3 years. It's a nice car but you'll never get more than 13 for it. Too many miles!

Oh yeah and not to be negative, but your white paint is chipping off the dash and grill.
