If someone offered to buy your thirdgen - would you sell it?

After discovering that my quarter panel has a new rust hole the size of a baseball and my muffler with the same sized hole, and the various other problems with my thirdgen, I come to realize there is too much work involved in my thirdgen.

I was looking at some thirdgens for sale and a lot of them are not exactly what I am looking for, such as great body. I was thinking that inorder to get the thirdgen I really want, it would be easier to just find someone's car I think is perfect and make an offer.

So how much would it take to hand over your thirdgen?

I probally would, but the price i would want for all the work i have done to it, someone probally wouldn't pay the asking price, therefore forcing me to keep it.....

In my world, everything is for sale, it's just a matter of "do you have enough money to buy it?" I just bought my Formula this past week and it isn't the prettiest thing on the road with the deer damage, but as of right now, it would take at least $5000 to buy it, plus a minimum of $100 for every repair or upgrade I do to it. So, now it's up to $5500, lol. So, anyone that says they can get a better one for that price, I say go ahead, and I keep my car, lol.

same here. i'd sell if somebody offered the right amount. but i wouldn't sell it for blue book value. to me it's worth more than that because of the rarity, plus i really like the car. but if somebody gave me enough, i'd part.

I'd never sell it. I was offered a high of $15,000 last summer, and I have had many insults in the $4500-$7000 range, but even for $15,000+, hell no, it's my baby
