That would lower the value to me, I doubt I would even make an offer unless the rest of the car was spectacular. Ask him what he'll give for it. < Message edited by RTexasF -- 2/6/2007 7:07:32 PM > _____________________________ ''''04 2.4l 5M EX Sedan Neuspeed short shift kit V-6 6 speed front strut/firewall brace 17mm rear anti sway bar AEM Shorty DC Sports SS Header Kicker Speakers JL Audio Clean Sweep JL Audio Amp 200W Bazooka sub V-6 OEM 7 spoke alloys (in reply to thunder_x) Post #: 2
