I used my Amazon credit card so it should have earned 5% back as Amazon credit as well.

So that's like $6.25 in free money. Seems like yesterday was a good day. icecube.jpg

Hmm. Well maybe. That'd be even cooler that cool (outkast.png). Seems a bit high (jcrabs.gif), but I'll take it (thoiboi.raw).

Other than that, I was enticed to buy a 16-pack of LED light bulbs for $20, but they sold out by the time I saw it. For the most part, I don't think I'm in the target audience for the Prime Day deals. I think all I've ever bought over the past years were gift cards for the bonus, and maybe a USB drive once or something.

Officemate bought an office chair for his house, so I guess some people find things...

methinks it's for people with less than ideal self control.

Nice! You need to pull the mower and snow thrower up front though, they're hidden.

Wait a minute... Those "footprints" going back and forth across the driveway... Are you sure you don't have an Asimo?

Because I won't tell anyone if you do.

Can you get me one? I know you can't because you don't have one, but you know... Can I have it?

Do you still drive the TSX or just the Accord now? Guess that's the worst part of selling yourself, have to sit on it for awhile before the right buyer comes forward.

Weird.. my area shows this.


It's a pretty simple breakdown really...
-supercharger+aftercooler=$3000
-Wheels+Summer Tires(new)= $1400
-Winter Tires(new)=$500
Flashpro= $600
Miscellaneous Parts= $500
Car=$7600
Total= $13,600

That's pretty much my thought process.. I think it's fairly priced for a single owner car with no accidents, black interior and 6spd. On top of everything, I still have all OEM parts, full service manuals, and every maintenance sheet from Acura. I'm a reasonable person, I know I would close on the deal if someone came close to my list price, but was offering less.

Maybe my logic is flawed.. maybe you just have to drive the car

its special. def worth more than what KBB says. i probably didnt pick the proper options to explain difference in the kbb's.

part of the problem is lots of peeps need to BORROW that money. bank is going to use KBB just like we did.
and they wont lend more than the value of the car.

i had this happen with a srt8 jeep i had. i put more into it than the bank would lend anyone....and had to go back to stock to even begin to get my money worth.

last point....IMO as well as my experience mods bring less than 50% from what they cost new.
look at any used wheel pricing for an example.

good luck joe

Yeah I know about the wheels, I bought them for pretty much $1000, and the pilot super sport tires are basically new (which I payed close to $750)... So I thought $1400 including TPMS is a fair price. Honestly I wish I could just sell the wheels separately that way I could lower the price of the entire car, but no one wants to drive a car home on winter tires in the middle of summer.

I just don't want to put the effort into going back to stock, especially since it runs perfectly right now. Who knows how it will react once you try to take everything off. I'd rather take more of hit money wise then spend time parting it out and dealing with 8 different sales.

If your TL was equal value or you were willing to put some money to make equal then yes. I would trade.. I would trade for any equal value Honda or Toyota.

Shirley you've had enough Craigslisters offer you the +guns proposition that you'd have sold it by now if you were willing to deal that way.

Don't bring your lie shenanigans around here Joe. We're too savvy to fall for that.

Some of my best offers so far:

Straight trade for 2012 Accord with 1 accident (worth 10K)

Trade for a chrysler 300 + Passat +9mm glock

Straight trade for Hayabusa with $10k in mods

Straight trade for a CAN AM maverick 1000xxc

Just part it out Joe, no one is going to pay the 13. People on the fb group would be more than willing to give you 3k+ for the supercharger without question though. No brainer to part out if you want to get the most money back. FlashPro can be resold for a decent amount too. If you still have OE wheels, put those back on and sell your Enkeis separately too.

Like.. I really don't want to deal with taking everything off and parting out. I'd rather lose the money and let someone else enjoy it in the state it's in.

I get that, totally do. It's been tuned, it's installed, it's tried and true and it would be a shame to bring it back to its boring state.

Reality of it is, people won't be offering what you want. Mods look a lot cheaper than their worth when installed. If you're good on money then just lower the price a bit. If you want to get more money out the whole thing, take the parts off.

it's only worth what people are willing to pay for it. as it stands, $7k is what most people would pay.

however, if you want to hold out for that one sucker....
