You think thats way too much? i paid 5500 like 5 months ago and i have done a ton of work since than. Everyone wants to buy it than completely lowballs me. A local guy will give me 3 cash. think i should take it?

Lowered = FTL. Do you still have the original suspension?

Default your car looks like its being neglected...

Dirt inside it, dirt on the car, etc.

If you want good money for it, then make it look likes its worth it.

Its like you are saying "I don't care, so why should you?"

Default I 2nd on the detail idea

Most of my customers call me in when they are selling there car and option for my top services. Getting the engine detailed, complete interior steam cleaning, clean and condition leather, polish and seal the paint. All these things will make your car look 100x's better than it does now. In the end you will spend $300 getting the car to look great and you will make at 1k on your sale. Your profit $700+ just from a cleanup
