    I have to sell my car. Can I survive without it?

    I have to sell my car because of other commitments which is devastating. As I reported in the spotted section, I saw a black one exactly the same as mine I coulod not believe it and it looked soooooo good which is making it all the harder to part with. However I will only sell it at the right price. I want $15,000 for it. I know it seems a lot but it has $15,000 woth of mods alone.
    What do you guys think. Or should I take it apart and sell it stock?

    I dont think it is unreasonable, i just dont think you will get what you are after considering the current market value of our VR6's.

    I would say you may get more for it parted and put back to original.

    I think if a person is looking for an immaculate VR6 and they actually see it in the flesh and hear it, they would pay the extra $4K for it. It's a matter of finding the right buyer. Alternatively someone could buy a stock one spend $4k and only have some new suspension and wheels..maybe..at a push

    hhmmm,,if it was 96-97 you might have a chance,but 94,,,unless its a enthusiast or you are in no hurry to sell.try ripping off as much as you can,its a pain,you then it wont hurt as much when you sell it.
