[phunny]

[AceGSX]

Whats imput?

 

[Thomas91169]

if money is tight id pass.

to get it driveable and looking decent, itll cost.

if the only thing left is the motor you wont make your $1000 return unless you are going to do a full part out, and you know people who need parts, especially interior stuff if its in good condition. If not, pass.

These pics don't do it justice because all I have is the camera on my phone, but the paint really is 9.5/10. I get is washed, clay bared, buffed, waxed monthly.

motozachl your car is very clean! i hope u get top dollar for it.

that being?? 7k? 10k? thanks for the complement but if i were to sell i'm not sure how much its worth?

 

[Doubleot]

Id say in between 8-10 k
Its hella clean

 

[quayzar590awd]

I would give you 8500 cash a pat on the back and and ice colt beer. Your car looks very good. If I liked the 2gen's I would offer you 8500 cash right now. Man that thing is clean If you put some bronze colored 5 spoke rims I would say 10k cash

 

[quiksilver38]

that being?? 7k? 10k? thanks for the complement but if i were to sell i'm not sure how much its worth?

my estimate would have to be 5k-6k just because its a GST not a GSX

 

[mheidemanjr]

97 eagle talon turbo awd

 

[420aNEWB]

cash in hand will get you to test it out i say go test it see if everything sound ok and tell the owner to do a test run and see if it pulls ok ....

 

[stvph]

Not a bad price but I'll try to talk him down to 3500 cash money talk

 

[mheidemanjr]

it is my dsm i was wondering if you guys thought the add was ok/ price was desent!

 

[LiquidX]

What turbo is he running? Have him do multiple hard pulls from low speed and highway speed (Make sure it's 15psi) and if he will go for it, have him launch it a couple times too. Go on bumpy back roads and listen for any noises. Take multiple turns also, especially left turns to see if it wants to stall out (CW). Check for leaks around the XFer case and any other leaks. Get recipts also if he has them.

Lol, I guess this doesn't matter then . Sounds good but why only test rides?

 

[USER_22]

it is my dsm i was wondering if you guys thought the add was ok/ price was desent!

Lol, I figured that. For those that didn't know the pic is right on the avatar. .

 

[lacroixdp]

I can't speak for your area, but it's around $1200 overpriced for around me.

 

[jjrock5]

it is my dsm i was wondering if you guys thought the add was ok/ price was desent!

YOU TRICK ME!!!! But seriously, the car sounds decent. I shelled out 5500 for my mint 99 GSX so I guess it a pretty good number. I dont see an Injen intake though, I do see a stock pipe with an open air filter...

 

[Dsmj89]

You should update the pic of the engine. Why are you selling it ?

 

[jjrock5]

Oh and is it just me or do I see a vented bov with the inproper setup?

 

[mheidemanjr]

i am selling it because i have a baby on the way in 3 weeks! yes the bov is vented with no ill effects proven with logger! i need to update the engine pics that why it shows no injen!

 

[viperlp01]

Id say it is a good price... Someone will pic it up..

 

[1stGenTSi]

If someone told me I needed cash in hand for a test RIDE I'd tell them to go f#%k themselves. Quit being a baby. I'd let someone romp on my car as long as they could drive a stick well. Hell if it holds up to my abuse it'll definitely hold up to theirs. You may have gotten that much for it before the economy tanked but not nowadays. And considering a trade for some crappy honda?!

 

[gstryyder]

umm... just an fyi.. i would never buy any cars without a test drive. good luck with your test ride thing. let me know how that BS pans out. HIDING something?

 

[907gs-t]

scope it out test drive it look for anything out of the norm.if all good purchase & enjoy.

 

[brian97gs]

not a bad price man hope you sell it to the right person
