I paid 25 for this car stock! I knew the car and knew the owner for years and he didn't really wanna sell it. I should part it out then sell it for 24k. I just don't have time to take all this stuff off. Plus I figure you pay to play.

I think ya need to give it more time. These are specialty cars and it can take a while to find the right buyer. Especially since most won't be able to finance an 05 so it takes a buyer with either cash in hand or private financing. Your car looks very clean and tastefully modded so I think somebody out there wants one exactly like that.

This place is a joke.
Mods generally don't add value to the car. It's been discussed here many times. In some cases, they make the car worth less. Clean, original cars bring top dollar. Your best bet is to put it back to stock, make sure all maint. is up to date, and sell the mod parts separately. That includes putting the stock wheels back on. In stock form, expect high teens for the car, and maybe, if you find the right buyer, very low 20's. That's the reality. Gas at $4/gallon isn't helping much either.

Can you post more detailed pictures? I am interested and the drive back to Chicago would only be about 9 hours. Also, does the Renntech lowering module mess with the alignment of the car?

Give the car more time, don't part it out, if a car is well modded has charts and time slips to prove it and is clean it will sell, just need the right guy.
Any car whether modded or not needs a compression test, I have seen cars being sold stock that have bad compression because guys didn't maintain them well. Yours seems well maintained bro

As for the lowering module, you can raise the car back to the stock ride height for your trek. I haven't had the alignment checked when its lowered, but it isn't wearing the tires any different then when I bought the tires and had it aligned at the factory ride height. Of course, I don't drive a ton of miles either.

GORGEOUS car man.
Going to spread the word to my buddy that always tries to get me to let go of my 55.

Someone needs to demystify this selling process
Can't believe this thing hasn't sold yet, though. Put links to other E55's laying down the smack and/or roasting tires in your for sale ads.
