Default 97 R that needs some work, thinking of selling

Hello all, some of you may have followed some of my posts over the past year or so and here i am still with the same R and not wanting to spend anymore money on it. i admit i got in over my head when i bought this car and being a college student i cannot afford such an expensive toy. the car is a 97 with 60,000 miles on it but it does need a little work. without getting into to many details about the problems is there any market for this type of vehicle. it does have a clean title please do not make any offers in the thread as its not a for sale thread, you can pm me if you like. let me know what you guys think. RealTypeR has seen the car as has B18Cxr. anyway.....

I've been selling my ITR since I bought it... Four years ago. Now it's almost paid in full. I just invested in a few more toys and she's startin' to look more like a wife than a on-the-side ho. Dunno, if someone wanted to take 'er off my hands, I'd think real hard about it.

repairing bearing requires about $240 dollars.
I think maybe you should keep it.

i was thinking that someone with a few more resources who can possibly get a little more out of the car than i can would be a better owner

If you don't, I can't see how anyone else will want to?
Bad motor and dents ... how about 9K$

Might make a great starter for a dedicated track car.
