108104, FS: Kandy; 1998 Eclipse GS-turbo, price negotiable
Posted by CrazyEclipse, Oct-01-07 04:13 PM
Some of you might remember me from 2 years ago. I disappeared for a while and got my life straightened out due to my ex. I've recently moved to Phoenix into a new home and am expecting a baby next summer. The priorities in my life have changed and I need to grow up. It sucks making sacrifices but there comes a time to just let go.

With that said and done, I'm selling Kandy, the car I put 2 and a half years of my life into. It was built with no goals in mind, but with a little bit of everything. It's got a well put together engine capable of nearly anything you throw at it, an audio system that will rattle your brain, and a nice clean look all around.

There's way too many mods to list, but after sitting down and going thru all receipts and what not, I've squared away the most important ones. Of course, if the buyer wants the documents, I will be more than happy to hand them over. The car has a clean title and has approximately 3,100 miles on it, but the speedometer reads 94,xxx.

There's very few problems with the car: 1 paint chip and 2 places flaking and inconsistent overheating in hot weather, and the speedometer dosnt work. I don't WANT to sell Kandy, but given the direction, my life is going, its something I need to do. Unfortunately time is against me and I need to sell the car in the next 10 days but rather than give some 14 year old kid the opportunity to total it in 3 days, I'd rather see it go to someone that knows how to take care of it and push it to its full potential. I've never ran it at the track and I would be very interested to see what it pulls once its been tweaked to the new owners liking.

I have no set asking price, but obviously please don't low ball. I'm not expecting 20k or anything, but I will consider all offers in the next few days otherwise it goes on egay :(

Best way to reach me is by email and if you wish to speak directly with me, give me your number and a time to call and I'll do that. I'm sure I forgot something, so any questions just ask. :+

Part out at all?

Zeitronix Wideband
NX Direct-Port EFI nitrous system
NX purge kit
Nos 5lb bottles (2)
Apexi AVCR - not installed
maybe the SAFC, I dunno how much it'd interfere with my DSMLink


lemme know how much for any or all of that.
PS, I did install the front bumper from you but the sideskirts are still collecting dust

I dont have the time to part it out. If someone else wanted to buy it and part it out, they would make a hell of a lot more than selling the car as a whole.

You should just put it in your garage or storage and save it...til you miss it...because you know you will miss it and think "WTF was I thinking."

I want the wideband the most, figured it'd be easy to part with since its not installed and never used.

Name your price for the wideband Thom.

I'm going to list the car on eBay on Monday since there were no bites here. :/ I should slap you guys.

As much as I WANT to keep the car, its not possible in my situation. I'm moving back to Phoenix in 2 or 3 weeks and I simply cant take this car with me and I have no where to store it safely. Besides, I wont be able to drive it much with a formed baby in my belly :wallbash

you can store it at my house, seriously. I wont need to drive it, I have a RST and a GSX. I dont know the going rate on the wideband, and I'd hate to low ball you. Let me know whatcha want and we'll go from there. I'd love to snag the nitrous from you as well if youre willing.
