Hi guys, this really saddens me but I just don't make as much at my new job, and am at the point where I've almost maxed out my credit cards just for thing like food and such.
I am selling just about everything I can remove myself.
Tanabe front strut bar, $50 plus shipping.
Nitto rear upper strut bar, $50 plus shipping.
GT Spec rear sway link bar, $75 plus shipping.

I'm very sorry to hear that. Sucks dude. :frown:
Do you happen to have a pic of the wing?
edit: n/m, just had to search.
Awesome price for an awesome wing!

Ill purchase your tanabe front strut bar. Do you have paypal?
I kinda know what your going through. My auto shop cut back everyones hours to 4 days a week. And i got cut back additional hours so its about a 30 percent pay cut now for me.
I no longer stop for breakfast for work but have a bowl of frosted flakes =). Lunch i stopped buying soda and chips but now just a sandwich and free water from our watercooler heh. And dinner i no longer eat out but try to find something to cook in the freezer.
I cancled all my online subscriptions like netflix and cut my cable to basic. And now i save all my empty soda cans and water bottles.
I barely make it now and its sad cause i had so many plans for mods but now they are all on hold.
How i look at it is that there are so many poeple out there that dont even have a car to drive or a place to live. And i am happy to have a job even though i dont make as much as i used to. Atleast it seems like the us dollar bill is worth a little more than it used to be since everywhere there are sales and things are cheaper. As well as gas is down too so that puts a little more in your pocket.
With all the changes i made in my life style I can make ends meat now still. But just barely.
Megan mid & rear bars, how much for shipping to 44663?
and sorry to hear about it Astroman. =/

I sure could, but all funds including shipping would have to be paid via paypal. Also, I believe this unit is just a NSTC type, not PAL. Would that be an issue for you??
interested in trd vitz muffler....what kind of price are you talkin?
I know I paid way to much for it, $360, but I'd be willing to accept $220 since it isn't shiny anymore, but still an awesome exhaust. Of the parts I have to sell this is the hardest one to let go, esp. since it's so hard to find.

I'll be pulling all the bars off either tomorrow after 1pm or this weekend. I'll get you a shipping quote then. Shouldn't be much.
Oh, and I do accept paypal or cash. Local pickup is also available.

That shouldn't be an issue, I can always convert. But using paypal is an issue since Lebanon is not a compatible country on that site hehe :/

It will give him $300 more than he had before tha sale.
Sometimes a small amount can make a big difference. Tough times for the seller.

$300 could be rent, or food, or another months car payment. My girlfriend has already sold her brand new ipod nano and professional kitchenaid mixer so we could pay the utilities and the rest of our rent. My new job here isn't paying as much, and I have more rent.
Back on topic, I've managed to get off the rear strut bar and only the rear megan brace. The mid-megan brace is scrapped up from all the stupid speed bumps that are way to big and I couldn't get that one off. The GT Spec braces bolts are on tight enough where I would need air tools to remove it so I'll need to find a shop so I can get it taken off. I haven't gotten around to the front tanabe bar yet.
The new price for just the rear megan bar is $8 plus $6.75 for parcel post USPS. I'll get a quote from UPS tomorrow.
I'll be packaging up the rear bar and the DVD unit this week as well, along with pictures.

If you still have the exhaust at the end of the week I think I can convince my wife to let me "waste some more money on the car"

ill take all the bars paypal ready let me know if the other fall through...
Sorry Ryank. I didn't see you had 1st called it.
I called the wrong item. The strut bar is yours yarstar. (well, if he wants to sell it to you anyways.) :biggrin:
I wanted the Megan rear and mid bars.
If you are still willing to sell the Legacy DVD, I am still willing to buy it. And it would be great if you had any pictures of it mounted in the car.
yarstar
01-07-2009, 04:10 PM
Thanks Ryank.
I'm still interested in the Nitto rear strut brace. Got some pics?
Astroman
01-08-2009, 02:31 PM
Still working on getting the rest of the bars off (the tanabe and GT spec)
Will get pics tonight of the DVD unit. I'm holding off on selling the wing for now. I promise to keep everyone posted! Between 2 jobs and my GF using the car for school (and flooding rains) it's been hard finding time.
Yeah no problem. I don't NEED the bars right away. Just know that they're sold when you get them off and have time to ship them. :thumbsup:
(The Megan mid and rear bars.)

Stereo is gone, rear megan bar is gone, exhaust is gone, and the nitto bar is pending payment. Right now I have the GT spec and tanabe bars available, but there have been serious offers that will follow through if I could just find the time to get the darn bars off. I'm holding off on selling the wing right now. Have a job interview Friday at a place that could pay as much as $880 a month more than I'm making now.

02-11-2009, 09:28 PM
damn 880 a month? and that's a step up? sure you didn't mean a week? that's like $5.50 an hour if you are getting 40 hours. is there not a min. wage in oregon? please don't take this as insensitive either because that's not how i mean to come across. in fact i think if a couple people all chipped in ten or twenty bucks it'd really help. and you might get to keep a mod or two. just don't see how someone can live off 880 a month. that won't even cover my rent and my apartments aren't even that nice. like at all. sorry to get off topic. just think that's bs.
but seriously i'll send you like 20 bucks if you want. anybody wanna match that or am i the only bleeding heart socialist.
