+1. I have an 05 also. I was looking for 16k for it about 8 months ago and I had a shitload more $$$ into mine than you probably have into yours looking at your mods. Thought I had someone who was going to take over the equity on my RL and he ended up falling through a month or so ago. The market is crapping for trying to get your moneys worth out of a RL. Now I'm parting her out and trading her in. Good luck homie but seriously don't hold your breath like I did. The longer you sit on it the more she'll depreciate, if you get a decent offer take it.

A couple people were interested in the trunk lid, I apologize for never following up on that. I still have it, it's just sitting in my garage. I am going to look at my next car around Memorial Day Weekend. I want to have all the original parts including the lid for that. If I were to sell it I'd let the people know in the order they contacted me. Again I apologize for not being able to follow up, I've been very busy these past couple of months.

It looks like the money you put into yours would make a dealer or private seller turn away quickly. Although you've invested a lot into the performance of your car, generally that is looked at as subtracting value. Don't get me wrong, I like how your car looks and I'm sure it's a little beast and handles well; but people and dealers especially are picky about mods. I don't necessarily agree with that but it is what it is. My engine is bone stock with no complications, warranty intact and ready to mod. Thanks for the advice, I'm going to see what this dealer has to say about it in a couple of weeks. Thanks again guys!

interested in trades?

[soah187]

Unless it's an STi, I'm afraid not, Sir. Sorry, TTT!

Just starting looking into the Redline - someone refered me here from the Cobalt forums.

Couple of questions:
What are specs (WHP)?
What's the MPG?
FWD or AWD?

Sorry for the dumb questions - just learning about the Ion. Beautiful car by the way. Looking to sell/trade this:
