Now, my plan was to re-sell the car (if I was keeping it I would have probably still bought it). So let's break it down
1. Cost of car. Won't disclose.
2. Getting car back home $1300
3. Title register tax, $1400
4. 8 rib front drive with install $2000
5. Insurance and storage (assuming it doesn't sell right away) $700
6. Additional repair $800
This is what I estimate, may be lower for someone else.
Still a good deal but not an opportunity to sell at a profit. That's why I passed. I asked a head of time if it was 8, sorry that there was miscommunication.

Wow.... Honestly I'm glad you backed out. I don't want someone that just wants to make a profit off this car. Im looking for someone that will appreciate and love this car as much as I do. Someone that will get years of enjoyment out of this car as I have for the last 4 years.
One thing that doesn't seem to make sense... If you where just planning on reselling the car why upgrade the belt to a 8 ribs? The 6 rib is working great with the boost that is on the car now. $2000 for something that is a $30 part once a year seems crazy unless you were planning on raising the boost.
