well I see turnkey 9 sec hondas sell for $15-20k, and the book on the cars themselves is only $1500. Remember every ass has its seat. ---

I agree to post it now for 10k or whatever and just wait it out. If you’re not intent on selling it right away, this way you can wait 8 months no prob. in that amount of time maybe someone willing to pay that amount of money will come forth ---

It books at about 1200 right but you sold it to someone looking for that. I ment if hes just selling it to anyone and not someone into that kinda thing expect less. obviously someone into his kinda car is going to appreciate his car more then anyone else. ---

It is highly modified and will only bring decent money to an enthusiast who sees the value.

I’m sure you already know that, and asking anyone on here, who is not a tib enthusiast, is a waste of time… Same with me as the MR2. But I’m ok with that, and realized that the whole way through mod after mod. I’m keeping that car… Good luck Brian, you def. have a cool, unique, and fast car. I just hope you can get what you want for the car. ---

The only problem, us Tib owners have very little money, thats why we drive Tibs in the first place. ---
