I still owe 2.5 yrs on the car and the leinholder says the I MUST keep full coverage on the car in order to keep the loan, My payments are 200 bucks a month for payments and 250 for insurance. I cant pay 500 bucks a month to let it sit in my driveway while I drive a beater around. I just cant afford that.
I work parts for two different dealerships and have had all the stuff on my car installed my myself and a Master Tech at the dealership that used to have a Fox bod w a 351 in it. He knows wtf he's doing. After the heads and intake I had Swansons Performance in Torrance dyno tune it and burn me a custom chip. They completely fixed the idle problems and it ran like new. But when I tried to put a cold air kit on the car last week it started stalling again, so I put the stock stuff back on and it still wouldnt idle. The BBK longtubes didnt have a smog port so my EGR was capped and not being used, the Longtubes burnt a hole in my Smog pump hose so my air injection to my cats and smog pump are useless, the ingnition cyl is toast, the shocks are worn, and the AC was gone because the hose wasnt long enough to clear the new headers. The blower motor and the heater core were both wasted too. All that junk coupled with the fact that I want....no need to move out instead of dumping all my cash into this car and get an education made me get rid of it.
I got the 00 Tiburon with only 27K for only 11 grand! Its got the 10 year 100,000 mile warranty added too.
I work for Hyundai parts so I shouldnt have any problem using the warranty. I just got a new stereo put in it yesterday. 2 Bazooka tubes in the trunk, new Sony deck, Fosgate triaxles in the doors and a new Pioneer amp. The car handles well and gets awesome gas mileage. Im just glad I dont have to work on a car all the time anymore and I got my heater and AC back.
The shorblock had 92K on it and wouldnt last much longer, plus the rings needed replacing.
