It looks like it's only 3/4 a body kit. No front lip ftl. Engine bay is nasty. Probably has a fart can for a muffler. Almost 200k miles. No way someone is going to pay 4000 for that.

He probably figures everyone will lowball the **** out of him no matter what price he puts it on there for. He may as well start high and get lowballed from there to make out with a decent amount. That's the only reason I can see it on there for that high.. Unless he really thinks his AWESOME bodykit and muffler is worth over $2000.

No dude, his pep boy wheels are at least worth 1k, and the fugly bumper is worth another 700 alone. His dent must be covered in diamonds though.

Overly priced for a salvage title

I was gonna mention that i love how dirty the engine was or that it appears that the gas filler door doesn't appear to be able to close all the way.

If the guy doesn't even take the time to give the car a bit of cleaning prior to sale, it says a lot about the care he has given it during it's lifetime. Which is likely very little to none.

Testing the waters, nothing wrong w/that.

The bad thing is, if it doesn't sell quickly, he'll probably have to wait a while before reposting else peeps get a bad taste in their mouth.

I wish him good luck, and hope it sells. I tried to give my Maxima away and no takers.
