Well I've finally decided that the car is costing my wife and I too much money. It's time for it to go. I was wondering what would be a good selling price for it? When I put it up for sale it will have a new engine w/ port by Steve Kan from Gotham Racing. It will also have new paint all around, a new hood, front fenders, sunroof, and front and rear glass. All the body work is needed because of a hail storm that happend recently. It will also have a stage 3 rebuilt turbo by BNR Supercars and all of the stuff in my sig. I was thinking $8,000.00 would be a good price. What do you guys think? Thanks.

BTW it's a black 90 TII with a black interior. Let me know if you have any other questions about the car.

That's about $15,000 AUD. I personally think it's a good price. What are they going for in the USA.

How much money are you spending on it before you sell it?

The motor and turbo are going to be somewhere around 4k and the bodywork will be somewhere around 5k. The bodywork is being covered by my insurance.

That's ok. Insurance will make it a bit easier for you. Are you sure you want to sell her. After doing all that work, i'd be keeping it.

How much money have you spent on her after buying it

Well just off the top of my head, not including the normal care stuff, I say about 10k on mods. This doesn't include the motor and new turbo that are going to be put on. I wish I could but I need something more reliable because I'm going back to tech school to get a new job in the Air Force. Plus the wife is worried that I'll end up spending all of our money on it and saving any for other things like a house or vacation.

Good point. Pitty you have to sell her. What are you thinking of buying next.

7mech 06-22-2003 03:09 PM

Something newer. Possibly a newer used pickup with low mileage. Then I'll save the rest of my money and buy another 7 later down the line. This way I'll have an excuse to get away from the family if I need to. Also it will give me a good reason to spend time with my sons when we have them. Yes we both want 2 boys and that's it. No girls please. I would prefer not to have to be siting on the couch with a shotgun when she turns 15 or 16 or whenever she decides that she wants to start dating.

Think about it. With 2 boy's, there going to be at some girls house were the girls father will have a shot gun. Have a girl and a boy, you'll be right.

I grew up with 2 sisters... it SUCKS through adolescense. They were a couple of PITA's

7mech 06-22-2003 03:28 PM

I hear ya. I grew up with an older brother and things were cool. My wife on the other hand grew up with 2 sisters and boy do I feel for her being the youngest. I also feel for her Dad because he grew up with 6 sisters and then had 3 girls of his own. No wonder why the man spends so much time in his garden and taking care of his animals.
