i about shit when i seen the $$$ :wtf

haha yeah right.

What a moron.

Part.
It.
Out.

Figure how much you've invested. That's your starting figure.
Reduce that figure by 40%, that's your depreciation.
Now take the amounts you've spent on body kit and sound/video, double it, then subtract that figure from the post-depreciation figure.

There's your starting price.

An example? Sure. Why not!

Say you take a $5000 95 RS and dump $15,000 into it. Depreciate it by 40% ($8000), then double the amounts you spent on gay body kits and retarded electronics that do nothing for performance. In this case, let's say there's $4000 between those two categories ($8,000).

So the $20,000 spent on the 95 RS and "modding" it, comes out to be worth? That's right. $4000.

Cliff's Notes: The more you spend on body mods, amps, subs, monitors, video games, and bullshit for you car, the less it's really worth. You think a car depreciates fast, when was the last time even YOU went shopping for used electronics?

Like I said, stupid. Want to get the most out of your car? Keep it half as clean as azdave's.

"i'd buy that for a dollar!!!"


remember that line from robocop :)

later

I wonder if that's the same guy who's been trying to sell his built motor on craigslist for $6K or some other ungodly amount claiming he had spent $20K on just the motor. haha what a couple of fucking tools

Yes it is. Ran his email through the database and its under the ID cyrez187.

The buy it now lists for $7500, that's a lot more reasonable and someone might take it for that. I wouldn't, but someone might.
