    2004 LS

    Hi gang.

    I think the time has come for more seats in my life. Getting ready to prep the car for sale, but I'm not sure what to price it at. Also, please give me your thoughts on the below:

    Should I bother replacing the timing belt/water pump, and clutch if I'm going to sell the car? I'm looking at around $1000 in parts plus a weekend of work. Would you just save yourself the hassle and sell it for a grand less?

    Also, Putting the car back to stock would require buying a white stock hood, another set of wheels (or a replacement for the destroyed stocker), and a gauge cluster. Probably 300ish in parts. Would you consider selling it modded at the higher price, or take it back to stock?

    i would just sell it as is because the buyer will beat you up on the price regardless of what you have done to the car

    We love the Tron gauge faces but I think they will be a turn off to most buyers. I'd swap back in the originals.

    Talked to my friend about this. He was very interested, however distance might be a turnoff for him. Gonna look at a couple of local cars first as he said
