Wow, who is this! Is this person on the forum? He forgot Hotchkiss sways, and he should really mention if those are authentic or replica RS4 wheels, to me they look like reps.

Car looks rusty underneath unfortunately, looks like it was prob in NE its entire life :( Can anyone with a free carfax acct figure that out?

No mention how the block was ground down to fit the trans up, hope that doesn't crack, wasn't there not a lot of material left, along with not all bolts connected? Also the jump around with inspections and basically knowing the shop will clear you in advance, in MA at least.

Not even sure, but more like $22k and better know how to deal with emissions.

I appreciate the hard work, just seems a bit questionable all around really to resell.

rs2crow, if you actually look at this thread, how about all the other stuff when you had the engine out, did you do most seals, is the title clean, no accidents, etc?

Looks like you get the added bonus of not having to see any info on the dash center console...

6spd manuals aren't the premium when it comes to selling point. At least they haven't proven to be - especially at the rate you're thinking. Did you get the ABS sorted out? Is the ECU updated to address the 6MT vs. the 5Tip?

all im doing is selling well sorted car with well done swap and some mods, well sorted stock at cars do go from 18k -20K swaps do run 10K or so, trow some mods, engine reaseal in to mix and you r out of 35k -40k pretty fast. that said yes i did price the car on high end, not in rush to sell it, and cash is the king and reasonable offers will be considerate. like i said in listing all the systems (except for key less entry) on a car work as promised, including all the exterior lights, parking sensors, cruise control, abs, esp.
