I've learned a few things in trying to sell my 97 GSX over the past three months. People looking for DSMs think they should be free. LOL But your story brings up the same point I tell people. If you want a cheap hacked up DSM for cheap, there are plenty of them out there. People don't realize the money pits and headaches they can become. And pretty soon your "cheap" DSM isn't so cheap.
I've been daily driving DSMs for the last 14 years and have put 180,000 miles on them. Only time I was left stranded was for a dead battery. DSMs are great cars, but only if you take care of them. Once they are beat to crap and modded poorly they will be as reliable as a $10 hooker.
It took me three months, but my GSX is finally getting sold today to a guy from NY. Should be gone by the end of the day. I'll miss it.
later,
Curt
