    i think you're in the wrong place, Kendall. GRM'ers expect better than that for a grand.

    OK, For the people that dont know: OBO means "Or Best Offer"

    I can keep the rare $500 BBS Wheels, the $400 Engine, and The $1700 Transmission and sell everything else for $500. I figured it was the perfect swap candidate for a GRM'r (and some easy way to recoup some $$), but I didnt realize it needs to be: 1) FREE & 2) Dipped in Gold.

    I assure you, Angrycorvair knows exactly what OBO stands for. He also knows the GRM value of pretty much any car. You've got a dead car with a pile of parts that need to be installed. Maybe a Craigslist reality check is in order. Around here running 850 turbos can be easily had for $1000. If you can part it our for more then go for it. Otherwise, scrape it off your trailer and crush it. The world won't miss another 850 gone.

    Man, feel the hate! I'm sure Patrick knows OBO, thats why I said it. Around here, 850 turbos are getting $2900 - 4300, but whatever. Sheesh.

    Deleted. Gone. Fuggitaboutit.

    We are incredible cheapasses around here, and are usually good at getting smoking deals. I wouldnt delete it, I just wouldnt expect to get much from this crowd.

    Kendalls right, a quick check of Craigslist shows many in the high 2s to 4000 range.

    Any way to delete the whole dang thread?

    This WAS a smoking deal (did I mention the NEW koni Double adjustable shocks & springs?) ; Too many haters to even ask. I thought it would be the perfect car for a GRM'r - Sleeper looks, easy 250+ HP with cheap tweaks, some wrenching required.

    Let this thread filter down to the bottom, let it go..... :)
