3. do you have the original rims? they may match the hideous hood, but id rather swap them out
4. what are the brake pads made out of?ceramic, pseudo-ceramic, etc
5. i notice you say the rotors are cross-drilled. will you swap them out with good rotors?
6. you say only you will drive, but how am i supposed to see how it handles, watching you drive? doesnt make much sense.
7. id have to get it repainted to a semi-respectable color. will you knock the $2k to repaint it off the price?
8. i see its modded outrageously. taking that to mean you have beaten the engine/transmission horribly, do you think its reasonable to expect the cost of a new car for it? its 5 years old now.
9. you say youve changed oil every 2500 miles. aside from the lack of research and thought i can only assume went into that, what kind of filter do you use?
it blue-books for $8600 (generous, in my mind). less the cost of a paint job, id be willing to give you $6k. its really not worth that considering its current condition, but i think its probably the best offer youll entertain, with it looking like a clown car.
let me know.
