Getting fed up..... Thinking about selling my car.

Well as I said in my last post, I'm seriously thinking about selling my DSMGSX. But somewhere deep down in my soul, I dont want too. But if I did, how much do you guys think I could get for it. Of couse this would be after I got whatever it is fixed that just broke.

If you didn't see the last post about how my car broke again, here it is.

Thanks for the help guys..... Like I said I really don't wanna sell it but damn I didn't know how expensive the matinence was going to be on daily driving a highly modified car. But who knows, maybe I'll park this and just buy a daily driver.

:crying:

sweet car man, dont sell it you will regret it.

yeah i think after you sold it you would kick yourself in the balls. Just get what ever it is fixed and enjoy your car again. Trust me i have felt like selling my car a few times before also, but i just could do that.

How much for your radio? Ill buy that.





Oh yeah, nice ride... Dont sell just yet. Get the tranny. New clutch and flywheel and you'll be ready to go. No more problems after that... I gaurentee it!

Wow you must be insane. People go nuts trying to find a Mitsubishi GSX and with that much mods, wow. I will trade you for my parents cars :). They are both 2005, just gimme that GSX.
I would advise you not to sell it, since most of the time people always lose more money than they put in the car for mods and ect. Its one of the cleanest cars I have seen and it can be modded and made fast (not that its not fast alredy) . It broke, big deal cars always break. If you decide to sell it though, what price do you think you might want for it. I have a feeling that if you sell it you will regret it. Whatever you choose, good luck.

Don't sell it. Nothing more to say.

damn i just had to jump in here and say "please do not sell it!!!" just check out your tranny and clutch, you have way to much in the car to just get rid of it.

Sell some of those stuff on your mod list and buy a tranny/clutch/flywheel combo... then slowly sell the rest of your mods and turn your car back to stock because like your said "I didn't know how expensive the matinence was going to be on daily driving a highly modified car" well a stock eclipse is fast enough since you said u barley race anymore. Keep the car and sell all/some of those mods. Good luck, i know i miss my dsm..

:iagree: Don't sell it dude. You have such a nice, clean, and fast car to just dump. Like viet said, you could sell some of the things to help pay for the tranny, and after that, just keep selling off the parts by themselves so you get more of your money back. Good luck bro.

Damn. Another one bites the dust? I hope not.

I know how expensive it is to run these things. I just got bitten with crankwalk, and the upgraded engine with 6-bolt swap kit is costing me way more than the car is worth currently. Some people would call me insane. Others would call me a DSMer. Some would say there isn't a difference between the two, lol. I plan on keeping the car forever though. I've been driving my brother's 97 Civic auto and my mom's minivan for one month now, since my ride's been in the shop. I can't describe how much I crave to drive my car again.

If there's no holding you back and your moving on to other things, then make sure you turn your car back to stock as much as you can feasibly can. While individual aftermarket parts retain a considerable amount of their retail value for years after use, a car with them installed rarely sees anything above bluebook value to justify the upgrades.

If you sell your Eclipse, god will kill 100 puppies, you dont want 100 puppies to die do you?

lol puppies, anyway, trade ? haha

Selll It!! Sell It To Meeeee

It's probably just the metal rod that may have fallen. the manual transmissions have metal rods that work 2 gears each. you might have broken or bent this rod or it may just have moved out of place, you should have it checked, but don't sell the car.

DONT LISTEN TO THEM, SELL ME YOUR CAR!!! lol
I'll trade ya :)

i'll give you my car and my mom's minivan she's looking to get rid of for your car w/ the shot 3rd and 4th gear...
p.s. my gears all work good and i've got a new clutch on order i'll have put in for u too

dead serious...

if you WANT to keep your car , my neighbor's honda accord did the same thing, 3rd and 4th went out and he drove it like normal except the exhaust went WAHHHH (1st)...WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH(2nd)...
....wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhh (5th), his shifter would also fall from side to side in neutral after a while of being like that, but he drove it for 6 months or so like that. (that was funny!)

transmission shop fixed it in one hour...1 hour, he had cracked the case on it and they fixed that and whatever else (not totally sure what was wrong, but it wasn't terribly bad) and put a new shell around the tranny
in all rationality, if you sell your car GIVE IT TO ME!!! i'll try to get my other neighbor's GVR-4 in on it too

3 automobiles for one??? y? lol you would be loosing a lot of money on that deal lol

He said his 3rd gen and his mom's minivan for the GSX. I'd love to take it off your hands if I had the bread, but I duno, I'm goin for somethin cheaper and rear wheel drive. Might as well keep it man, not gonna find many cars as in good condition as yours

It's in the shop right now..... will find out tomarrow..... Hope its not to expensive... If it's more than 1000, I'm fixing it then selling it. If not. DSM FO LIF3!

Let's hope the best for you! What would you do if it came out to like $1,000.01? lol. If it does come out to be more, fix it, then sell some of the parts for extra money, but still keep the car. :2cents:
