What Do I do!??!!?!? (about selling the car)

[At-Least-It's-An-Evo]

Ok... so today I was referred to a buyer who was interested in buying a highly modd'd 1g. He wants my car and supposedly has CASH in hand and would meet this week! I gave him the specs of the car, pics, and the info needed. He is deadset on purchasing the car depending on how I want to work it out. Sounds like he is willing to pay at least $9.5k for it the way it sits. He wasn't so impressed with the mph trap with what the whp figures were. I told him it was lacking a fuel system and that I could do that for him for more money. He is probably going to have me do that and try to make more power with it. The ONLY problem is... I DON'T know if I really really really want to sell it. :( I know if I try to do more with it, it might cost me alot of money as we know these are all money pits. What do I do..???!?!?! Sell it ....?????? Some relevent information. I spent 10 months putting this car together, spent about $11.5-12k total + probably $1k in misc things. What I spent is about 80% of what the parts were worth so in reality, it'd be like $15-16k for a person building it from scratch. I knew going into this that I won't get as much as I put into it, but I don't really care, because this is a pretty damn good % of what I put into it. I'm somewhat happy with the car but I feel I really should move on and do what I really want to do and stop messing with cars. I don't know what's best for me, keeping it or selling it. Either way, it's gonna be tough as hell, advice? He's emailed me 3 times asking a bunch more questions about selling it....!?!?!?!?!

Wow, I'd say it would be good to enjoy it a while before selling it, but you will have to put a lot more into it to maintain it as things will break. I don't think anyone can make the decision for you.

i say sell it to him...its always fun building cars and in that sense you can let them go and do the process all over again and still have fun...plus didnt you say you wanted to do more with your life than mess with cars...i say go for a change and sell the car...plus if you get interested again you can always start another project later down the line...but if you love the car too much..i guess keep it :) what do you want more? if you dont know, sit down and make a list about pros and cons to help you decide.

hells no, keep that nutty wagon!

[santa]

keep that fucking car man your an idiot to sell it!

[SuperSleeper]

I'm going to have to say... sell it to the guy. That's more than you could expect a typical DSMer to dish out, and you seem to always have complaints about it. Imagine what you could do with $10k besides get a decent reliable car... pay some bills... buy a new guitar... get some guitar lessons... follow Mraz around the country... :cool:

If you truely want to sell it, that is more money than you'll ever get offered again for it. Weigh all your options and just decide which is best for you right now.

Yep, that is very good money for the car. If you truely do want to sell, then this is the guy to sell it to!

I don't think you should if there is a big question in your mind. You will just end up spending another 12K next year to build a replacement ;)

That's pretty much the same thing I said to him too.

Sell it!
