Like I said, the car is super clean. Im a nut case when it comes to this thing. I didnt have nice things growing up so I take care of my shit. I use leather conditioner twice a year but I think the bulk of this is that the car has low miles.

14 or 15. You're not going to fetch more money than a clean stock car because let's face it, not many people want to buy someone else's modded car. Plus your market is smaller because of the number of people willing to buy a modded car is less than those who would buy stock.

I would have done it also.

The LB one that I wanted was sold so I think Im going to keep enjoying it. I know 19k is a solid number for eveything but its going to end up costing me 35k to get the 08 and get it how I want it. My car is super clean, low miles, and pretty quick so why go into all that. Maybe if another one like that comes about ill think it over again.
