You'll never have money in your pockets with these cars. I don't even want to know the money I have spent so far on mine and the money I am going to keep spending on it.

Eh, I'm not one to say what you can get but I see some people on here trying to sell 1g's with mods for $3,000-$3,600 and I think they are nuts. These cars a years beyond years old. I picked up my 90 Laser RS FWD Turbo for $600 and it runs. Modding a car is a hobby, you'll never get back what you spent unless you run into some fool that doesn't know any better. People seem to not understand that concept. I can see a nicely modded 1g going for $2,000 anything passed that people are nuts... that's how come they either get stuck with the car or just part it out and waste a good 1g that was running (which when they do that pisses me off, because they could of atleast brought it back close to stock and sold it running instead of putting it in pieces and junking the rest of the car).

Honestly, my car with the minor mods and not taking anything off I would ask $1,000. I know I've spent more then that with the price of the car included in buying aftermarket parts and replacement parts. But heck I know what these cars are TRULY worth. Check KKB and equivalent for trade in value/private seller value/etc. and you'll see.

Let's just say the trade in value for a 1993 Plymouth Laser 1.8l SOHC Non-Turbo 3yrs ago was $600 and thats in very good condition.

I know its not a OEM mitsubishi turbo, or whatever, i got it from a turbo shop online, Why? Is it bad that its not the mitsubishi brand?


Oh and about selling it, well im not doing any mods to it, besides the turbo, thats only because I needed to do that to get it running good. And Im not going to settle for $2000.00, thats a little too low for me.
