Default Baby or 944 Ls6?

Life is full of little surprises. My wife is pregnant with our 2nd baby and the toy must go. It has just been completed by Mike at German Performance who I would highly recommend for all your conversion needs. But instead of doing yours just buy mine! I have over $35,000 invested. I know I'm going to take a bath on this one but would like to get as mush as possible and you rennlisters are a little more affluent than those on the bimmerforums! I'll also give $500 to anyone who can find me a buyer.













Way too much too list, but I'll gladly talk to anyone who is serious about buying my car. 904-806-2069.

And LART you are not allowed to part it out so don't ask!

If anyone has a M3 I'd also be interested in a trade of some sort.

As nice as babies are, I think the car is the better one to keep in this situation.

Good luck with the sale. That thing looks awesome. I'd soooo love to get that. What wheels are those?

I know bleucamaro had been thinking of doing a v8 swap to replace his sc'd s2, though I don't know if he was looking to buy a complete car. I'll send this to him to see if he is still looking.

It'll be way cheaper for him to buy a comptele car than do it himself. The wheels are from Group A up in NY. They are Drift R's, 18x8(f) and 18x10(r), with custom offset's, no spacers! Tires are Toyo T1R's 285's on the rear.

I'd rather try to talk you into keeping it...

-It's unlikely that you'll recoup even half your money...
-It's still a very safe car
-Your children will like spending time with you while you tinker with it
-If your wife knows you're in the garage, she doesn't have to worry about you being out a bars, etc.

Will you knock off a couple of grand since you're missing the cigarette lighter?

Jeez... 24K buys you a cracked dash!

I REALLY doubt you'd get that *anywhere*... -Not wanting to be a 'wet blanket', but anybody who wants to get that sort of check approved by a wife is going to have to get a new dash thrown in... know what I mean?

Perhaps I can phrase it better this way: at that price range, little things are going to mean a LOT... I know my missus would NEVER let me spend 24K on a car whigh didn't look top-notch inside...

What did you do with all the turbo goodies and those nice wheels that were on the car before? The conversion looks nice by the way.
