Thinking of Selling 2G GSX

I have a White 96 GSX 5-spd that Ive been debating whether to sell or not. The car has 66k miles, and the engine has 35k. It has 17" Racing Hart rims, and Kumho Ecsta Supra tires. Hallman MBC, FPIK, UICP, 1g BOV, phantom boost gauge in A-pillar, custom catback with N1 muffler, lowered 1.5". I can post pics and more info if anybody is interested. Im in Salt Lake City, UT. All the work was done by myself including the engine swap. This is a California car since day 1. I have had the car since March, and it has spent about 80% of the time in my garage while I was doing engine swap and other work.

Im moving to Japan at the end of September and going to be gone till end of 2006. I love my car, but afraid of the depreciation over the next two years. Plus, I have nowhere to put it, other than the driveway. (plus insurance, blah blah blah).

I dont know if anybody would be seriously interested in my car, but I want opinions or comments on what I should do also. Im thinking about getting a 97 or 98 240sx when I get back and do an SR20DET swap. Once you've had a turbo car, you cant go with anything else

Im not 100% on deciding to sell so make me an offer. I bought it for $8k with no aftermarket mods with 65k mile engine 5 months ago. Its 7 bolt swap. Tranny shifts awesome in all gears. Ive been using Redline MTF. I forgot to mention I installed ACT 2600 clutch.

Ill post pics when I get off work in about 3 hours. I have never seen a white 96 GSX like mine. Center section of taillights were painted before I bought the car, it looks really nice.

Re: Thinking of Selling 2G GSX

have fun with a 240sx man... ordering stuff overseas to make horsepower has to be a fun time and you will dump 4 times the amount of cash into a 240sx as you will a dsm

It was lowered by lowering springs, no coilovers. I dont know what brand because they were on the car before I bought it.

Depreciation is about 10% of the selling my dsm equation. Its mainly because I have no indoor space for it, and I wont be able to have insurance for those two years because I cannot pay for it.

I finally got some pics up also. Tell me what you think.
