Should sell real quick as long as you don't hope to get even a fraction of what you put in.
Keep the 500 but don't put 15K into it that you will never get back out.

this one had 97k when i got it and it was rear ended and poorly fixedeverything alse though in great cond . i had it profesionally fixed and + did the wide body. and also i had to replace the head gascket and the engine wire harnes . i'm not really looking to sell it. i mean even if i put it up for sale , part of me still wants to keep it, cause i know it inside out, got everithing rite one it, so if i will get the right price for it il sell it other wise will keep it till i die, thats why the reserve is over10k

It's a keeper- hard to imagine that reserve working out although it is a beauty.
A few suggestions for that eBay ad...
"Proofread"
"spellcheck!!"
When I see an ad offering a nice item, but spelling errors are laced throughout, maybe it's just me, but I come to think that the individual's attention to detail is low...and worry the car may have suffered the same fate, hence they are looking to unload a car which needs loads of details addressed.
Also, if there is any way you can show pics that do not suggest this car is suffering (along with many of us) during the winter / snow season, that may help. seeing a car w a salvage title, an ad with loads of errors, and the car sitting out in the weather...I began to think $5k (or less).
Not to say it is not worth more, but presentation is huge. That car presented on a silver platter would turn heads and get more money, no doubt.
Actually, listening to you, lol, I think you set the sale to fail.

thanks for the advice, when i'll really have to sell it ill keep that in mind, as you see this is a one 30 min project. got some pics uploaded it and put it for sale, without a detail cleaning or stuff like that.but that is good stuff, thank you i'll keep that in mind.im not in a rush to sell it

here is the othere love of my life http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ELX%3AIT#v4-40, may be i am crazy but i just love these cars.
when i'm driving the coupe i want to keep that, when i'm driving the 500 i want to keep this one, so i don't know how to combine them.

it is only on the german ebay, you will find a lot of things there the only disadvantage is theat the prices r in euro , so there expensiver, and you will have to pay for the shiping wich will cost also a little bit more
