Sure looks nice, but "Best Ever"?

Not even close in my book. Not to take away from the car, it's very nicely done, I just can't stand the "drag car" look.

Agree with you on the wheels, and the looks perfect. Havent seen paint shine like before, expecially black. Just wonder how it drives on the road.

yeah that car has been on ebay a few times before, at least three I think. It dosent meet the reserve. I wounder what it is.

nice for the drag looking crowd, I don't really like that, because there are so many new hoods, lowering suspensions, ect.

Kinda Old-School

That dosen't mean I wouldn't drive it

I was wondering how long it would be before someone would find it on ebay. This car is one of my dads good friends, and let me tell you its be far the nicest third gen i have ever seen. Its extremely fast, CLEAN, and sounds great. Best thing of all is it drives great and has been on the power tour. Not just a show car its driven often and the paint is amazing.. Is it worth 23k, i dont know but i do know that it could not be built for that.

Has a very nice write-up and the paint looks killer! Seller also gets points for not typing with Caps Lock on.

IT IS SAD BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU PUT INTO THESE CARS IT REALLY DOES NOT HELP THEIR RETAIL VALUE :lala:

But seriously, he would be lucky to get 23k for it. I mean, if someone buys it for that much, more power to them. Cause the car is really f*ing nice. But the fact of the matter is, you could spill $50k on a thirdgen and have trouble selling it for 12k.

I guess people just arent interested in receipts.

Damn nice car though. But it seems no matter how much money you have, the brake fluid resevoir will remain ugly.

Looks like they could easily have been fabricated.
