    run it till it dies and falls apart.

    or grind it away, weld in a patch and under coat the piss out of it and it'll last a little while longer.

    I know I can't drive it in the winter. I wanna get a GXP so bad or a G8 GT...but That has to wait. This car will be rode until winter hits then I will store it somewhere.

    I'd say 3 is way too much. Not trying to burst your bubble but I wouldn't pay more than 1 for it. In all reality it's over 10 years old, rusted out(almost) and according to your signature it runs badly? And unless you've got full paperwork for the swap, it's not gonna net you any more money.

    Anything aftermarket doesn't ADD value, it hurts it.

    You haven't been in the game very long...have you?

    you must dont know how to sell a vehicle, because where I'm at I can sell it for that price and tell them its still rusting, there are some people around here that wouldnt care. 2K cars go for 5K if you go to the right spots.

    People in Ohio aren't able to use KBB?

    I know how to sell cars.

    Been there, done that.

    But like I said EARLIER: to a sucker.
