(dyno'd 347 @ wheels). i was still co-owner of a major stereo shop, so i had upwards of 40,000 in stereo equipment and interior mods. probably the most famous body shop in the southeast did all my exterior work, also around 10k. i had 6500 in wheels and tires for god sakes! i could have bought a house for what a spent on this car.
i sold the car in 2001...
for 9,800

Well sounds you had some bad luck then. People who have seen my car think that $24k is a steal for it. You do realize I can get more than $10k for this car stock? The blue book on a stock Prelude with 25k miles is 10,600 in this area. I just think it is insane that some of you think that asking $24k obo is too much for this car...no offense. If you want I can list the prices of all the items for this car individually. Just because you sold your 97 Civic for $9800 doesn't mean that this is how much some other car is worth. Every car is done differently and thus has a different value. What would you expect me to sell my somewhat modded 2003.5 BMW M3 convertible for? $25k?
