Re: Dave's Evo X Build

Like others have suggested, I think to realistically evaluate your options, you should lower the amount you expect to get for the car with a blown motor. If you may only get 16-18k for the car with the blown motor, does that change your mind? If so, cut to the chase and move forward with those possible numbers in mind.

I agree with those in this thread saying the expectations of what could be had for an X with a blown motor are high. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what mods, how you treated it, or how much time/labor is into a car. In the end, it is going to take a new owner time/labor and money to just get it running. With that, it has to be a great deal for someone to get into that situation instead of spending a little more money and buying a perfectly good/running X(or IV for that matter).

Very simply, blown motor car + parts and labor cannot equal or come close to a good running cars value. It has to be a "deal" to someone for this car to sell.

Only making all these statements to help you with your decision.. I think this may change your view of the situation a bit?
