Not something I want to do but looks like I dont have much choice. :(
The people wanting to buy the house seem to have cooled and all the crap I have for sale seems to be drawing no interest at all. No jobs as well so I must do what I never thought I was going to do, sell my pride and joy.

So I thought I would give a heads up here before it goes on Craigslist.

Borla ProXS mufflers

Cobra 13" front brakes. Custom painted
EBC Red Stuff pads
Braided stainless brake lines

No noises, no rips, no rattles, dead silent inside, no stains, ZERO rust anywhere, no engine leaks. Everything works and works great.


You guys know how anal I am about this car. It gets Mobil1 every 3k with new FL820s filter. When I go to the store its parked at the end of the lot. Gets washed twice every week and waxed every other month. Any noise was instantly delt with. This car has no dissapointments. I have over $12,000 in this car and if I would have had to paid all the labor then its easily over $15000. Car has a first class tune on it. Always starts, behaves as stock when driving normal, runs like a raped ape when you push it. Trans and tune are excellent. Always shifts smooth and at the perfect time when driving normal. Shifts fast and hard under boost. Can hop in her, drive 1000 miles to a race track, race all day and drive back with no problems.

$9500
 
That is a shame, times are tough for alot in this sticking economy. I hope you make it out without selling. Good things do come around to good people. Best of luck. Damn nice car for sure.
 
That sucks man sorry to hear of the tough times getting tougher. We've all been there and for some still are. I hope it all works out for you to where you don't have to sell your car but if it does sell just think of the next one you'll build, it will be bigger and better than the last. I know it sounds goofy but it's true the next one will have all the little things this one doesn't. Hopefully it doesn't happen. I wish I could help out but right now my wife is due to deliver our son in the next week or so. Good luck with every thing
 
Sorry to hear it:( Have you put this up on SVTperformance.com yet?
 
What economic recovery? I don't see no economic recovery.

I got laid off like 3 weeks ago. They were like "we love the work you do and we'd love to keep you, but we simply don't have the volume".

Hope you can find some kind of work before you need to sell it.
 
damn mann.... i feel ya pain i was in an auto accent last night on my way home from work my babys totaled know so im back to square one and im with out mny gen 2 .... but wish u the best of luck and u may not need to sell it now....
 
Make sure the buyer brings cash...I'll hide in the bushes
 
I say you raffle the car off....100 tickets $100 a piece. What say LVC?

I totaled mine last week. It sucked too. It was like yours but newer, & like Bill's but alot slower.
If I could get a loan for that puppy @ that amount, I'd pick it up tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that cadillackman, that Gen 1 Mark is still available on Elm Hill Pike.
 
good luck with the sale bill, if you really do need to sell it, put it on ebay, you'll get more than 9500 i bet.
 
Damn dude... Laser this blows bigtime. I posted my car up for sale twice when I was unemployed. Thankfully i sold my waverunner & was able to make ends meet until I found a job.

WOW! This news was unexpected! Sucks, TWO beautiful Gen II's, one gone last week, the other will be gone soon(I hope not)!
 
Ugh, sorry to hear about the two nice Marks getting totaled. That sux. :(

I have some other stuff up for sale and I guess its down to what goes first. Fortunatly I have no rent and not a single bill is not late or past due. Unfortunatly the fridge only has mustard in it and I dont have any ciggs to even supplement that.
I was certain for the prices I had on some of this stuff I would get it sold and have another month breathing room to dump my house but other stuff pops up.

People want the TVs and then dont show or offer stupid prices on the bang bang sticks that are not even 1/10th of the price of ammo I am including. All my customers are recouping from x-mas so even though I have jobs when they have cash, there is nothing now.

Not sure what to do though, the car is really the only thing in this world I care about (yeah, thats bad) and if I sold it I am sure I will pretty depressed but thats what life is. Pain with various moments of in between breaks. Yay!
