He has a reserve on it, so it won't end up selling for anything less than he's prepared to take for it.
I'd say it's a smart place to sell it to be honest.

i was looking at that last night

I honestly cannot believe nobody is interested in that.. it's dirt cheap for what it is. I've sadly lost interest in FTOs in genera; a bit lately.. if I hadn't I would offer him 25-30K if he asked for it hands down.
Pretty sad to see he hasn't sold it yet.

so you can say I would be verry happy with that one turboed FTO sitting at home

There has to be a genuine reason why people havn't bought it. I know not everybody has $20K sitting around but there's bound to be somebody who would've had it (or would get a loan) if they really wanted it bad enough.
Is it perhaps because they're worried about it as a daily driver, having it overheat while sitting in traffic on a hot day, or is it because of traction problems?

Me personally.
Whilst it is awesome, it is a lot of power for a FWD.
It wasn't factory to begin with which means it's custom, replacing parts won't be easy.
It is an FTO, so unless you are after an FTO with turbo, and willing to spend that much, then it isn't going to appeal.
Those are what I reckon are the biggest stoppers against the car.
It is an awesome machine, no doubt, but there is always a risk doing up and then selling a car like that.

Pretty much, but to get it show condition would need a bit of work, it's a drivers car, definate track potential, wonder how it goes with understeer and torque steer.aza013 wrote:as for what I would do with it

Who cares! Its got 400 friggen horsepower! That awesomeness out weighs any concerns.
It should have come from the factory with a 6A13 in it.

damn, its out
i saw it he day it went up there, and didnt want to tell anyone on here about it lol, secretly low balling him at the moment... feel kinda bad about low balling him, but not much else i can do, if all i have is about $11k...
(and that's not even cash, that's 'credit' - half credit card, half ppl owing me money... might have to do a round of leg breaking to start collecting now lol)
