lookin to part the kit out? locally?

[p5-turbo]

Sorry, I'm not interested in parting the kit out. The car is in perfect condition so I want to sell it whole. It's a really nice setup, though, if you want to buy one new! I read Corky's book (Maximum Boost: Designing, Testing, and Installing Turbocharger Systems) and I even talked to him a few times before I finally decided to buy the kit. I've been really happy with it.

You can find the kit at Bell Engineering: http://www.bellengineering.net/Pages/products_protegesystems.html

Here's a link to Corky's book if you're interested: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0837601606/104-8262582-9503962?v=glance

Drop that price to about 12K - might be easier to sell. Check the Blue book, and the price of the kit, then realize the warranty is gone. 12k sounds more than reasonable.

Yup.. the reality of it is that your car isn't worth nearly as much at $16,700 which sucks cause we all know how much effort, care, and money goes into a car like that. If you don't find any takers, and you're bent on selling the car, PM me.. I've got a 2003.5 automatic P5, 12000 miles, still under warranty, etc... perhaps I could work out a deal where I take your car, and you take mine + some money and you could trade in my car which would probably be worth more at a stealership or something. (wishful thinking)

Fair enough comment!

Blue book is about $10,900 for private party sale, $12,900 for dealer retail (source: edmunds.com). Note this car has the optional moonroof, side air bags, ABS, and alarm.

Turbo kit+exhaust was about $4,000 new
Installation was about $1,500

There are 385 standard P5's adverstised on Autotrader, of which about 175 are advertised between $12,000 and $17,000.

Your suggestion of $12,000 is way too low; although $16,700 is agreeably on the high end. Feel free to make an offer if you're interested.

damn, dude, that is stealthycool. My g/f is looking for a 5, but onfortunately that's a bit out of her range, and... let's face it, nomatter who does it, and how well it's been done, it's still a turbo'd car...

[niv]

yah.. too bad you dont' want to part out the turbo..

[Poseur]

bumpitty bump for a sweet car. can't say it's common that you see an all business 5..

C'mon kids, this is a pretty dope car here. and yes, he's new, but I've legitimately got a good feeling about this guy... He really just wants to find a good home for his baby.

Price-reduced to $15,500.

This car is extremely well refined. It has pickup that your standard P5 doesn't, and with the improved intake and exhaust it cruises effortlessly on the highway. I get 26.5 MPG in combined city/highway driving. Professionally owned and absolutely never abused.
