I just don't understand how people try and sell 510's for 20+ and they dont even have an sr20det swap. Lameeeeeoooo......they are cool but I recently saw a really nice one for under 5k

So he just spent over 17 thou in updates,


for a production car like a 510 I'd say that should make it worth about 12, maybe 15 tops, but no way is it worth more to buy than the work and parts cost, just doesn't happen that way, even for true collector cars, much less mass produced econo-boxes

yeah... i don't think people realize that no matter how much they put into a car, they will never get it back. part out is ideal.

if you shine up a turd, u get a shinny turd... not saying it's a turd... it's damn neer perfection and is everything other than a turd... but same concept...

I'm a **** for nostalgic Japanese cars, but $23k for a 510 is hard to swallow. Especially that one; it just doesn't seem all that to me. Maybe my standards aren't grounded in reality haha.
