Default maybe she will pass to other hands :(

i have it since february 2001 bought it for 4000 and spent like 13000 on it. that`s her story.
a lot of you know her.
today a guy stopped me and asked if i sell it. i told him weeeeeeeelll!!! give me 8000 for it and take it. he told me that he`ll gather the money and call me in 2 to 3 days. i told him ok...
so maybe she`ll go and maybe not... but if it goes i`ll cry like a baby...
most of you will tell me so why you wanna sell it if you`re gonna cry for it... right?
well... i`ll tell you that i`m a bit tired of her... and maybe i`ll move on another project... so i don`t care if a sell it or not... but you understand me right? it`s my first car i ever own so has to hurt... in way or another.. and much more with all the stuff i put into her.

Good luck, and i cant say that i blame you for getting emotional over a car. Granted it is just a car, but after a while, when you put all of your blood sweat and tear into a car. There is just so much sentemential value that you just cant put a $$$$ ammount on it. And you just hope that the next owner will treat it as nice as you did and not be a ricer and do something dumb, so that you ahve to see all your hard work mocked.

Again good luck seling.

Ah! that thing is clean as hell! If you want to sell it, sell it.

Just rmember you can build your self another project that will be that much better.

If it were me, I would keep it. But that's just me. I don't know your financial situation, but you make your choices.

I also say that I wouldn't sell it. I mean, if you are tired of the car, then yeah, get rid of it. But if you are still attached, I see no reason to sell. You might as well just spend more money on this car instead of starting over from scratch, only to end up at the same thing again. Just my opinion though...

raise the price a little bit, if he doesn't buy it, then you can always look for another buyer

But keep in mind, that it lost a lot of value when you took a sip (backwash and all ). You never get back as much as you put into it, that's just the way it is.
