It is cheap but he is probably not going to let it go for 3000$. He's probably waiting on people to bid on it big time.<P>Overall it dosen't look bad but like marshmallow15 said, the hood just dosen't fit with the rest and has to go.

I still don't personally understand why people fully modify their cars and then try to sell it thinking they will get a lot of money for it. I have seen countless people not only with mx-3s but with other makes who get a car spend thousands of dollars on body kits, rims, paint, stereo, etc... and then once they have everything on their car they are bored with it and try to sell it. What is the point of spending all that money on a car if you are just going to sell it shortly after?<P>Unless your "show car" is famous in some way there is no way you are going to sell it even close to what you paid for it, if you are selling your car with everything on it you are basically throwing your money away.<P>If you want to get more money back sell and part out your car instead, you will see a much larger return selling all those parts seperating then with the car, plus it will probably easier to sell a stock car anyways.

well like most people, they spend the money for the attention from other people, both good and bad. they also do it for the lifestyle of attending shows and having people support you, such as in a team. but of course, like video games people get tired of it and want to move on with their life.

I really don't understand why people have tachometer unless your car goes pass the redline. I mean you can't read the gauge you have to have to bigger one. I see this stock neon with one and man I don't know why he needs it I seen under his hood and all he has is an intake.

I see why some people have a tac and redline light ( dummy light), but you really only need it if you don't have one stock, why he has one i don't know. He'd might as well mount an alarm clock with bells that ring when he redlines. :p

I don't really like the big tachs either.<BR>But, Neons don't come with a tach on the dash, or the first gen. doesn't at least.
