fml...yesterday was the worst. I don't drive my 400 that often b/c i like driving the 300, but when i took my 400 out for a drive it felt like s.h.i.t. I mean the ride was fine and was not jerking at all, but for some reason there was a thudding noise in the back and the whole day it just got worse. I have no idea what it is and at the end of the day there was like a squeaking noise instead like something was loose. I don't think he will trade for the car now, but im going to go get it checked out today and see what happens. I didn't tell the guy what happened because i plan on fixing it anyways, but now he tells me he's only going to give me $800 with his rsx seats(which i don't need seats) and he wants me to trade my 98 with my sound system, intake, tt wheels, original wheels that are on brand new tires, and a new 97 rear bumper....i know his car is a 5spd, but idk don't you guys think he's asking for a little too much?

that's gotta be the ugliest kit I've seen... trade for the 5-speed and start again man lol
Honestly, you're getting a killer deal for him to even add money on top. His is a lower mileage 5-speed black interior clean sc with OBD I, you have big dent, poor fitment kit with higher mileage.
I'd take his in a heartbeat!

Don't ask for anything extra....drop that ugly *** Blk 400 and grab that red 5spd and Never look back!! Don't ever, ever, I mean Ever buy a kit like that again!! *vomit*. You killed that poor 400 when you ripped her face off and put that pig's nose on it.

Paralysis by analysis. If the 95 is clean, TRADE. If you want to sell the 400 you will need to fix the body damage and at least revert the body back to stock. That will take money.
