I think we need group therapy sessions targeted towards the mod-happy crowd.

Repeat after me:

"A car is NOT an investment...

A car is NOT an investment...

A car is NOT an investment...

A car is NOT an investment...

A car is NOT an investment...

A car is NOT an investment...

A car is NOT an investment...

ALL TOGETHER NOW... A car is NOT an investment!!!"

I'm alway amused when people think they've created a musuem piece and they'll get rich selling it.

Actually I feel sorry for the guy.

He must have put a lot of time effort, caring and of course money invested into it.

He has a great car and it probably does cost as much, or more, to duplicate but the market just wont support the price.....

Of course road trips are out of the question unless he piles everything into the back seat.

Headrest monitors don't do any good then.

Greg's right - mods are actually in many cases detrimental to the value.... You want an unmolested car (like Brian's 2 Q's).

That's a pretty car, no doubt about it, but $17K? How about $4K because of the bother of that superfluous stuff? How's the transmission?

definately a good looking J!! He can keep the stereo stuff personally. Low miles too. If someone knocked some sense into him it could be a good buy.

How he do that grill thing?

That is real nice! But like you all said, there is no way he will get 15k for it. I like it.

I personally like the pictures that he has of his finger covering part of the camera lense (picture of the engine) and the picture from the back seat you can see him in the rear view mirror.

This is a nice J30, but 15K!!!!

I'd like to see him try and trade that in. He *might* get 7K for it.

I must agree with greg_atlanta
