Dear friends,
After much thinking about it, I have come to the conclusion that I must sell my 6-speed.
I love this car to death, which is really the problem. I drive this car probably about once a week, and when I do, it's below the speed limit, never getting above 3000 rpm's when I shift. It's just locked up in my garage because I'm so afraid something will happen to it. The way I'm driving it now, I'm probably putting 5,000 or less miles a year on it, and for me it just doesn't justify the huge insurance payment per month. I'm really too young to have a car I use as a "toy."
I have had planned some major modifications like bodywork and such, which would probably bring the value down. So I have decided that before I soup up a car I don't drive, I'm going to sell it. As you can see this decision really causes me a great deal of stress. Only a year and a half ago I drove nearly 400 miles each way to get this vehicle after months of research.
It's a milano red 1994 6-speed coupe with approximately 75,500 miles. The only modifications I have are clear corners, bumpers, a flowmaster muffler (with a stromung on the way), tint, weapon-r air intake, custom mesh grille, and 2001 17" CL Type-S wheels. I have all the other OEM parts and they are in tact.
As far as I know, the car is mechanically perfect. The only thing I notice is a small "chirping" noise when the clutch is let out, which has been there since I got the car, the tech at the Acura dealership said it wasn't a problem. At the 60,000 mile service I had done when I bought the car, the radiator was replaced - I know this is a common defect among legends. The paint and body are in good condition. As far as I know, the car has not been in any accidents. If you would like the VIN number to run a carfax please e-mail me at legend520@comcast.net.
I'm asking $14,500 for this car. For that you can have all the aftermarket and OEM parts. I'm very firm on this price...I'd think about asking more but it's due for a 75,000 mile service and also I'd like it to sell before I can change my mind.
I'm giving someone on the forums or someone they know the chance to have it before I sell it to a TOTAL stranger on ebay or autotrader or something.

FYI, I live in the vicinity of Philadelphia. E-mail me at Legend520@comcast.net for anything. Talk to you later.
