If you try to sell that car, get ready for a beat down. I put mine up for sale. Dunno what I was thinking. Hopefully you won't regret it.

Trying to sell a highly modded car in this economy is suicide.

It's bad enough that you'll lose 60% on the mods in a good economy, but in this economy everybody wants them for free.

It's just better to hold on to it for awhile and If you have the funds go buy you next car and wait until the economy recovers a bit to sell.

I have no plans to sell my C5 ever, but I knew that going into this project as I have $$$$$, plus years of work (my labor) into it. Sometimes it is better to bite the bullet and finish up the current project and then put some dough $$ away for the next one.

The good thing about having two modded cars is when one is broken down you'll be able to drive the other.

I always knew most of the forced induction guys on this forum are *******s and this tread proves its.

I am looking to between 28K - 30K. Its a 2002 in perfect condition with 68,000 miles. It is located in Gilbert AZ. I have every piece of service documentation on the car. I also have another set of stock chrome rims.

So as most of your mothers should have told you "If you don't have anything nice to say than shut your hole!!!"

Having a blown Z06 is something worth keeping for sure!! I also have 2 S4's heavily modified and can't bring myself to selling my "show" S4 considering the blood, sweat and tears. She's a 2000 with 32k on the clock which makes it even harder. My 01 I bought for the wife so she stays away from the show car. I would sell the show car first if I had to because I couldn't watch that car get messed up by my wife's driving style. I put my perfect 100 mile stock wheels on her car and she has pretty much trashed them completely. If you own the car, I would keep it.
