Hand-me-down. (Purchased new in '03 for $28k)
$6,200 in mods, all installed myself except exhaust & tint.
Probably about $2k in maintenance -- mostly 2 replaced calipers, headlight, alignments, fluids, blah..

I should have saved it and used the money for straight up trade + cash on another car...

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

yup, salvaged title, fixed it and now its a rebuilt title, you wouldnt even know that it was salvaged unless u look at the police safety sticker thing.

that just leaves more money for me to mod my car.
