I love my gsx but there is so many problems that Im sick of :barf:

I know some of this sound cheesy, but most of the cars around me are some beater fwd talons that are rust buckets and spray painted some fancy colors.
here is a copy of my craigslist info, I want to move into the Jeep world because of my family/friends all do it, and I need something to haul my dirtbikes.

Car is one of the nicest I've seen around Akron, almost 4k invested (without labor) within the last 3 months!

Strut Towers were starting to rust, cut out rust welded in new pieces on top and bottom, duraglass, small amount of bondo then painted, they look amazing and i have atleast 20 pictures of the process to show its done right.This is an LSD (limited slip differental) in the rear (rare) and also the eprom ECU from factory (both only in 1995's)
currently running 16lbs on stock turbo(no shaft play what so ever) Always let the car run after driving it to let the oil cool the turbo, like a turbo timer would do, previous owner always did the same)

Fair Condition: 3,400

By what I see from the pictures, the hood is currently missing and I don't recall any mention about it in the ad so that loses you a couple bucks. If I had interest in this car, I would then come and drive it and base it on how it sounds, feels when driving, runs, etc. How does it run? How does it sound? Your ad is a little cocky in that you say it is one of the best looking around, and your ad is difficult to read. I'm not trying to cut you down, just give you a few pointers. Clean up the ad a little bit, cut out how you feel about the way it looks because from someone looking at it to buy it currently needs a new hood and a paint job and that isn't a very cheap thing unless you want to rattle can it. Take a few more pictures as well, if craigslist won't let you upload as many as you need link to a photobucket or something. When people are looking for these kind of cars they want pictures to make them want to come and see it.

Clean up the ad a bit.
Take the attitude out of it.
Add some pictures.
Tell me how it runs and sounds.

It might have mods but if it doesn't start or has a rod knock, game over.

Hope it helps and good luck!
 
It definitely sounds like you do not want to sell it. If you were dedicated to selling it you would stop dumping money into it! If I were you i would park it for 6 months - 1 year and get some perspective on what needs to be done with the car while saving some money and making a budget. Get a voltmeter and an ohms meter and work on the electrical problems yourself, there is a lot of information/help available on this site to assist you in finding those problems. Hope this helps
 
Put it up for what YOU think it's worth. I never understood why people ask these sorts of questions. If you don't get what you are looking for then drop it down and then see how that goes.
 
I would at least seperate your mods list into seperate categories. interior/exterior/engine/suspension/etc to make you ad easier to read.
 
Well I went to a local carshow/autocross meeting today (superfly sundays) and I decided to keep it :) I realized I have something with great potential, so im going to keep it unless I make a good profit on a trade, Soon to come paint for sure side exit exhaust and 1flat black 17'S HOPEFULLY
 
if there were no electrical problems i would price it for around 3800. hell i would price it for 3800 anyway. if noone picks it up, you'll be forced to keep it. and work the bugs out
 
Well unless somebody offers me like 5k its not for sale LOL, Im keeping it unless I get a good trade or make money off of it
 
That is exactly what I realized at the car show when everybody was like dannggggg LOL, And the whole time my car is like 4 different colors :)
