Guys, remember, his MOM paid $7,700 for a new motor and install, she was the one that didn't want to check around at different shops for different prices etc. Now, who else thinks we should let this thread nicely die off[8D]

i agree, it would have been interesting if they would have installed the "500hp" engine that they had been pushing my mom to buy. which was like 4 grand more expensive..

Ask your mom how it feels to have put 7,700 into a car that KBB lists trade in for 2500.

mods usually do not detract from cost. but on the same token they cannot be expected to add to it either. modded or unmodded, as long as its running strong, a car will go near its book value
