I'll be perfectly honest with you, man, 15k for a salvage title '02 is a pipe dream. Mods don't add to the value of the car when you sell it, and even non-salvage cars are down to 12k or 13k these days. It's reasonable miles, but the salvage title, and the fact that you can't insure it comprehensively with most insurance companies is going to make it a hard sell.

That said, good luck.

Well for the most part I got the car with some of the parts already on it and I dont have some of the stock parts to replace those already on it. Plus the hastle that I went through putting everything on it, I just dont want to mess with taking it all off and putting the stock parts back on. So getting rid of as is would just be better for me.

Well, if it helps, you can do a for sale thread where for the parts you need stock replacements you get the stock part + cash. I did this on some of my stuff when I parted out my bugeye and it was pretty easy.

Nothing in life is easy. I think if you really want to sell that car you are going to have to put some work into getting back to stock as close as you can.

With the money you make maybe you can lower the price a bit on the car, it might move fast after that.

In the least you should be able to rid of the rims, turbo, and brakes.

well ok then..... Im willing to part out who wants what and for how much....? The reason I want to get rid of it after all of the work is because I need money and am looking for something faster. I personally am head over heals in love with the STI and gonna use some of the money to put a downpayment on one. So who ever wants the breaks, the rims, VF22 with injectors and fuel pump, full suspension, and ummm....I think thats it. FOr the suspension, rims, and breaks I will take stock + cash. OH and thanks again for the advice. Oh and almost forgot the Turbo XS UTEC.
