Ya well that guy was wasted. He offered me 16 for my car, MADE me take his number and tell him that I'd call him. I doubt the seriousness of this guy.

You've at least got to consider it. Figure out what you have into it. There seems to be about a 40-45% depreciation rate on the car and mods have a similar depreciation rate as soon as they are installed. What would you want to get? 25-27K? Start at 27k and see what he does. If he gives it to you, financially speaking, you have to take it. Then again, if I had a choice of getting another SVT rather than the insurance check when mine was totalled, I would have probably taken the contour, so what do I know.

An Ancient Person is here to see you:
Chineseman say: "Timmy may sell car for a lot of money good, but you lose heart of what you put into."
xchang translation: DON'T DO IT!
I think your car is wild and sweet. There is never an offer that never comes around. The only offer I know that probably won't come around is a guy with a Porsche that was willing to swap it for a modded Focus... right todras?

Yea Steve. As some of you may know Bryan and his moded 00 Foci. We were at the Indiana SAAC Show and a guy comes up to a group of us standing around Bryans car. He showed us pics of his A.C. Cobra and what appeared to be a yellow RUF Porshe w/ black rims. Both cars were awesome to say the least. He said he just bought a used Warsteiner Mondeo Touring Car (the new one & race ready) but it is in Germany along with his Porshe. He asked Bryan if he could buy his Foci next year. He said he figured Bryan would want the SVT Foci when it was released. Bryan said no way I don't sell my cars. I keep them. We thought he was on crack. I said you could start all over again and it would be fun. I said what if he offered you 25k? He said he still wouldn't take it. To each his own I guess. If someone offered me $$ for my Tour I could part with it but I would buy an SVT. Not that a normal would want a moded SE  I'd bite at 26-27 and you could get a WRX Tim. You wouldn't be allowed to talk to us anymore though.
