Don't forget the Splitfire Triple Platnium Spark Plugs.
Private Party on that thing is $9,500. $7,000 in mods, assuming that he wants every penny back? I don't think so. I have about a G more into mine, and lets just say it's a tad bit more built.
I'm confused on the "or best offer" thing. I thought you put a price on it that you hoped some schmuck might pay, but when that doesn't happen then you take the best offer below the asking price. I hope he's not sitting around waiting for a best offer above the asking price. It's not on the block at Christie's with somebody on the phone from Singapore bidding it up against an eccentric billionaire from Silicon Valley. It's more like the Big Showcase on The Price Is Right - closest bid without going over is the winner.
ps - Anybody know an XJ to oversteer? What the heck did he do to the poor thing to make it oversteer?
I suppose. Of course, there are tons of posts about steering once you start lifting (not that I've lifted anything, yet), but solid cornering was always one of my favorite XJ traits. I found it funny that he's trying to talk the thing up to $16k but won't fix the steering.
