I am asking 21k with the stock blown motor and all stock components.
The car with a proper motor is kbb'ed at 28.2k right now. I could invest 5 (probably 6 with labor of a straight swap) grand and replace it with a stock motor and sell it for at least 27k, and that would still have some good upgrades with it.
It is a deal and will take a person that wants mods to realize it, that is why i have priced it the way i have. So people will negotiate.
I only owe 10k on the car and do have like 4k right now.
The head could potentially be fine in which case I could put it back to stock for possibly cheaper even.
Not sure how the prices are off, I think they are very fair honestly for how much money/labor is in the car. I would be losing a ton selling it obviously, but then I avoid having to invest any more into it.

First off, Brookdale Mitsu has a brand new X for $24k. I think most people would take the brand new one, regardless of the mods you have.
Secondly, mods to not add to the value of the car. Nor does having a shit load of labor in to it. Labor is like gas, you buy it because you need it, but you can't add what you've used on the value of the car.
Yes Scheides' car is a little, ummm "worn", but it's perfectly functional. Seems like your sights are set a bit high for what you want.
For the $24k you could have the following.
1)Brand new X from Mitsu
2)A car in similar condition as Scheides'
3)An X with a blown motor that requires at least $5k to get it on the road.
I think the answer is pretty obvious here.
I say sell the X and buy a IX.
Or like C3LICA said, buy a DSM if you want cheap power.
