Hey guys! I'll try to make this quick: I sold my car 2 years ago after owning her for 9 years (due to my first baby being on the way and money being tight). Two owner car; First owner put on 9k. I put on 75k. I put over $25,000+
I would reach out to the new owner every 6 months or so and check up on her like she was a child at camp. Two weeks ago I reached out to find out the poor guy is going through a divorce and has been debating selling her. Low and behold he'd love to sell her back to me to get her to a good home. He's since put ~$4,000 into her (maintenance, aesthetics, etc.) but is willing to sell her back to me for a little less that I sold her for. He put on ~6k miles.
List that he did:
New tune (Craig @ Radical Racing)
New rear brakes
Front tires
"Intake Upgrade" (wtf?)
EGR valve & tube (??)
High flow cats + Flowmaster Super 44 Catback (She had a sick Mac exhaust...)
New headlights, taillights and brake cover
New Power Pipe (had a 4" power pipe on there already...idk why he did this)
Fixed an oil leak at the pan
New rear shock tower bar
