ffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

::hopes for parts to come in today::

<3 you too... take you bike out!

i was thinking that, but, i'll just hold on to it.

someone just traded in a WRB peanut eye STi at the honda dealership i work at. idk what he went home in but i want that STi in the worst way.

no one would buy it though.

they barely sold new.

I'm thinking perhaps further down the line he may be able to get what he paid for it. but it really is overpriced for what it is... even the honda community knows that.

at this point, the best he could hope for is someone steals it and he make 8-10k on it due to the value of the car

20k is a good deal on something like that though, when it should have been more anyway

see, even though i'm a honda guy, if i had a sti, i wouldn't trade it in for a honda.

either that or park it and store it for say 20 years and it might be a collector piece down the road?

whats the peanut eye one?

thats what i'm hoping for. that the value will go up further down the road. that, and i found out a couple of mugens are already wreck, and some were arlready stolen. so, the price will go up, :lol: evil, i know

but yeah, suprisingly, very few people (even in the honda world) thought i got a good deal. it suprising, i got more hate from honda people, then from any other folk

Unfortunately I know people who'd be drooling over it and would pay 25K... I know some ricers allright :mrgreen: He can probably have fun with it for a year or two and break even on sale like you said....which is kinda a good deal.

educate me please, what year is a bubble eye STi?

that too.

but, i will be taking to the King of Prussia Toys for tots meet on the 8th. so, everyone can hate it in person! :mrgreen:

i don't think parting it and storing it would be a good idea :lol:

i doubt it'd be worth it after 20 years either... unless you find someone passionate about the car...

there is a late 80's dodge shelby lancer with i believe under 100 miles on it that keeps popping up online for i think around 18k... it is in beautiful mint condition, runs just fine, been sitting in a garage for that long, has been maintained, etc... while all us 80's dodge fan boys drool over it... it just isn't worth it.

of course, most of the dodge shelby folks are a) cheap and b) want to modify the motor... and you just don't do that to a mint 20+ y/o car.

Leno should buy it...

He will never get what he paid for it down the road. Very few cars are like that unless they are individually numbered and all. Plus the fact that people were interested in them when they were new shows they hold no value. Might be 'worth' more but people won't 'pay' for it.

i need a button down shirt from a guy to wear tomorrow. anyone?

you can have mine if you take it off with your boobies

Speaking of the Civic, there is a guy that works in KOP that has a blue one. I used to work at University of Phoneix and he always parked in our lot. I'm guessing he working for the insurance company or something next to us.

lol i have a few but they are all smalls :P

it'll take an adult collector i think. but he should be able to get what he paid for it at some point if it stays in great shape.

course, i'm not basing this off of any honda knowledge... i know with muscle cars its like that. though, i would never expect to get 30+k for my gt 20 years from now unless i kept it in immaculate condition and low low low miles... even then... 18-20k MAYBE

you can have one of my shirts.....does it have to be a specific color?

pretty sure he was talking about little nick... lol Merrone or whatever. because he got kicked out of school for a year or some nonsense. Saw it in the networking section under his "Need a job" request.

maybe, it would have to be a limited edition of some sort though, really.

like the 100th aniv ones, or if they make some other sort of limited special package soon. Not the GT/CS though, that should get drop in price faster IMO and burn.

and he isnt in good standing w/ his father. He kinda shrugged it off :bigeek:

yeah, basiclly i have to find someone down the road that really wants one. but again, no hurry to get rid of it.

lol i'm borrowing one from oakes. thanks for the offer...i think lol.

so, does that mean oaks get to see them? :lol:

We are talking 20+ years old cars and the only reason they are worth anything is there weren't 1/2 as many cars produced back then. But even then, the cost of cars = what is costs today when you add inflation in so it really isn't worht anything :-)

yeah, i don't expect it to be worth much of anything.

but who knows what happens in 20-30 years and how they hold up in general.

but honestly.... you gotta be crazy to think i'll have this car for that long. i'm certain i'll be trading it in with 3-4 years on a new one w/ a larger motor or a gt500... well, depending on what exactly i end up doing with this one mod wise

+1 Sorry Mr. Oakes for the confusion.

tying up $20,000 for 20 years in hopes of selling a car for the original amount paid for it does not make financial sense. im just saying.

Modding cars also makes no financial sense...

espcially if your gonna only get little to none, profit.

but we still do it.

those essays were so brutal i felt light headed from concentrating so hard i almost puked.

yeah, the amound of money i put into my 92 civic hatch, and the offers i've gotten for it make me :cry:

At least you get offers... my car is unsellable... like at all.

It's a hobby. Not an investment.

Tell that to the guys on ebay and craigslist trying to sell modded imports :wink:

good luck with the get together tonight! forgot to ask you before... what are you going to be doing while everyone else is drinking? just getting lots of blackmail? or can you drink what you still have around?

well, it kinda helps that people still want the si hatches

yeah, my buddy try to sell his CRX. asking for a stupid amound of money. don't get me wrong, the work he did to ti was nice, but, he should have known better then to try to ask for what he did
