OK. www.edmunds.com says this car in OUTSTANDING condition is $1679. Why is
it worth double that?

> Well, the time has come to part with the SHO.  Where are ya Ryan, you
> still want it?  Quite a few people around here know this car.  It looks
> very good for the miles.  I think for what is included, I've got it
> priced pretty fair.  I think I'm going to move on to a WRX next week,
> so I need to get what I can out of this one.  Pictures upon request.
> In addition to what is listed, it is still exibiting the noise I
> described the other day.  My current bets are exhaust leak and I'm
> imagining the rest of the symptoms or perhaps oil in the plug wells
> hindering spark.  I swapped the MAF's yesterday and put in the LPM.
> This morning it seems much more responsive out of the hole.  The only
> 60/100k service was performed at 80k.  Here are the rest of the
> details...
>
> 94 Moonlight Blue with tan interior (rare combo) MTX
> 168k miles, 2nd owner and I bought it at 127k
> This car had no options from the factory.  No sunroof, no keyless
> entry, no CD player (means it has the coin/cup tray!) no full leather
> (seats are in good shape)  Drivers seat is power, passenger not.  The
> previous owner took it from there, and Ive added a few more things.
> Engine/Exhaust: SHO Shop can (carbon fiber) and cone, factory airbox
> included.  80mm MAF calibrated to factory computer.  Second 80mm MAF
> with LPM.  Motorcraft plugs and wires about 20k ago.  Performance Plus
> Ypipe, DynoMax catback about 3 years ago.  UDPs (PS, Alt and water
> pump)  Replaced drivers side muffler last fall.  Mobil 1 every 5k since
> Ive owned it.  About every 3k with previous owner (another SHOtimes
> lister at the time)
> Chassis: 96 brake upgrade, Eibachs and Tokicos, Nooks long SFCs,
> replaced rear sway bar endlinks about 2 years ago.
> Interior: Momo pedals, Momo shift knob (clean original shift knob
> included), Alpine CD player, Boston Accoustics 6.5s in front, Clarion
> 5x7 plates in back.  Code Alarm installed.  Customized Radio Shack CB
> in tape tray.  Cincinnati SHO floor mats.  Climate control buttons are
> cracked but ok.
> Known issues/recent fixes: Rear upper strut mounts, just replaced AC
> Condenser/dryer (the rusty pipe under the battery) last summer.  The
> power steering gives me some trouble when its very cold and the car
> isnt warmed up.  Once its up to temp, its ok.  I get squeals from
> the AC and PS belts occasionally, so both may just be loose.  Rear door
> window motor replaced 2 weeks ago.  Needs tires/alignment.  The winter
> tires have enough tread for a few more summer miles (at least through
> this summer), but they werent that great last winter.
> Body: Overall good condition, the whole nose clip was repainted about 3
> years ago and still looks good.  Some rust on the doors and trunk.
> Ive been taking care of some of it slowly.  Some battle wounds on the
> right front and left rear.  Nothing major or all that noticeable, but
> its there.
> Extra parts included: Factory airbox, second 80mm MAF/LPM, GTS
> headlight covers, possibly a second set of slicers, I have to check
> with my dad.  If my dad wants to keep a set, the directionals have
> completely warn Michelins, the non-directionals have a few thousand
> miles left in the snow tires.
>
> This is a great car with a lot of good miles left in it.  It handles
> like its on rails.  KBB says 2400, so with the miles, repairs needed,
> repairs performed and parts/mods included, Im looking for $3200 OBO.
>
> Oh, and I'm located in Detroit.
