Ed, is everything okay! I can't believe you are going to do it? Okay, go ahead I want dibs on that roof spoiler! Lol! On a serious note. The car would be a great pass down to one of your kids don't you think? You could show them the in's and out's of the GS! Keep the car man. -wringo

I dont think anyone did more extensive DIY work on their car than you. Best of luck bro as you prepare for her sale

thanks brotha i really appreciate those kind words but my sc crew here wants me to do this badly for we have a strong sc force down here in south florida but it will be tough but man do i like driving this tundra

Ed i know you mentioned this to me awhile ago but i never thought you where quick to jump the gun... I think your car is one of the best here on CL.. When i saw your GS in Delray in person, your car inspired me to make mine what it is today.. Everyone knows here on CL how much time, effort, and sweat you put into your GS... I'm sure when the SC comes which it will very soon it will just be as nice if not better than the GS. Good Luck ED and keep us posted...\

why dont you post your price and try to sell it.
i think people will offer you something even if ur price is too high.
if u dont like the offer, just keep your car. what's there to lose?

however, if u do most of ur service/repair yourself....i believe most people would prefer to check out other cars having work done by dealer, or some kind of licensed shops.

cheers,

well you should check the car out a bit more and make sure you know everything about it like who built it up and everything...

and if it all checks out... jump on it!

the GS is great, definitely one of my favs on the board... but the SC is a sweet car too, and you'll love it just as you did the GS...

ED, i think if it feels right and the price is right than i say do it, come on do it . I mean we only live once and at least you know the car was put together right without cutting corners...

Good Luck and send me a pic if you can...

I've sold a few of my cars/trucks that were modded and imo...if you can get 30-50% of your money back that you put into the mods, that is probably what your looking at. So add 17-18K plus the 30-50% value of your mods and that would be a starting point.

so therefore 22-24k should be fair price right , i have about 18k into the car

Ed, if the ride is in Hawaii, check with Ricky or Cody or one of the CL ohana back there and have them check it out for you. I think Ricky would be the local boost expert out there
