*Testing Waters* MAYBE or maybe not...
What kinda price are you guys thinking, I have somewhat of an idea in my head but I know for a fact you all will laugh at me so I will refrain...
But if you all could let me know your opinions on how much you think the car is worth. One consideration that I ask is that scan over everything before posting, if you dont mind.
Any replies would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Chris
1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST Convertible

Mileage: 19,000 original miles (NOT a misprint)
-19,000 miles on motor, car, interior, everything the car is basically new.
Standard Features
1. All leather
2. All power (windows & door locks)
3. Powered Convertible Top w/ headliner and boot

3. Cross Member
4. Tie Rods
5. 4 New Tires
6. Convertible Top ($600!)
7. Springs
8. Rear Shocks
9. Speakers (6)
Maintenance
1. All belts have been replaced since I got the car w/ 3000 miles on it.
2. 2 rear tires have around 5000 miles on them, 2 front tires have only 300 miles on them.
3. ROUTINE oil changes every 2500-3000 miles since the day I bought it, using only Mobil One Synthetic Oil w/ new oil filter every change. The oil changes have always been done by the Aamco on the corner of 4th St and 22nd Ave by the garage's mechanic, Clinton.
Other
1. The car has never been in an accident. The body and suspension is all straight w/ no major dents.
2. The full owners manual is included w/ the car.
3. For the most part the car looks, (inside and out) and drives like a normal car. There are no overwhelming parts on the car such as neon lights, different hoods w/ scoops and things, big spoilers, or huge gauges mounted inside. This car was built to be and has been my daily driver for more than a year now. Being my daily driver means that it is not too extreme in any way.

Car has had more than 20 pulls on the dyno to get the best airfuel ratio while tuning. The car right now is at a very safe 11.5 to 12 to 1 airfuel ratio. The car is tuned by the SAFC fuel computer, located in center consol. (Tuning is very expensive and NOT included in the total.)

1. Summitracing.com
2. DsmParts.com
3. RoadRaceEngineering.com
Some of the parts were purchased at Sidewinder DSM, such as the intercooler.
A new top was put on the car the first week I got it.
Labor
All labor was done at Sidewinder DSM, a reputable shop in Clearwater. The owner of the shop, Tony, as well as their head mechanic, Art, can both vouch for me having all of my work done there.
(Labor charges are well over $1500 and again are NOT included in the total.)
Thanks again for any suggestions you all might have...

Keep in mind that I prewrote all of this (especially the wordy parts) for parents, because most likely this car will be sold to some little 16 or 17 year old kid and I know if his parents are anything like mine they would want to know that I didn't do everything myself in my fucking driveway and maybe messing shit up... So yea I know my wording is fucked up a little...
and i personally like sidewinder...

People tend to ask for more than blue book on low mile DSMs. Start high and take a few laps around the local high school.
sidewinder DSM... never done business with them, and from everyone telling me shit, probably never will.
