I'll give him $20k. Max.
The fact that he got scammed by paying more than $120 for hankook v12s (he paid $170)
Means he's a big ol chump.

^this... unless, it's limited production like TRD SC or some prototype Toyota/Subaru parts, they usually hold their value, but looking at the list, I didn't see any.

LOL, you would be better of returning the car to stock abd selling the parts

It looks like a 15year old went buts with some catalogues and built his dream car, with no respect to taste or commonsense.

It does have tow hooks thoug, LOL

and 1k miles between oil changes. it's almost had more oil changes than my 35k mile car!

this is the kind of guy i'd offer $10 and a cold cheeseburger for it just to try to drive the point home.

I don't see value in what's been done to the car either. Kinda sad really...

They sure do like redbull though.

I gotta say, there's a lot of products i like using, many of which have great companies standing behind them. But I've never understood the appeal of paying to market for those companies.

BaT is a different animal though. that same car would likely barely top $20k had it been sold through a normal dealer.
