Default Need some selling advice please

Do you guys think i would be better off to strip some of the parts off of my car and sell them seperately like my maf, edelbrock heads, gt40 intake, weld wheels, etc. Or should i just sell it all on the car. I still have the stock heads and intake and all that crap. What do you guys think? anybody ever sold their car all together and wished they had stripped some of the parts off to sell seperately. Thanks guys.

I'll buy your throttlebody if it is at least a 65mm.

you will probably get more if you sold the parts seperately,

sick of messing with it and always being disappointed in it. Im sure someone else would be thrilled with it though. I guess I just kinda lost interest. Dont get me wrong- its a good car and its pretty damn quick. It has all of the mods people want too like built motor with aluminum heads, cam, exhaust, 4.10's, welds, msd ignition, cowl hood, and so on. I want $6000. i cant take any less. It has a load of other mods- that was just a small list above. I have too many toys. I just got an R1 so i should sell this to pay the bike off and maybe get a supercharged cobra later on down the road.

i will be loosing a lot of money if i sell for $6000 but i am willing to take a loss. I have learned a lot from the car and it has been fun for the most part. Just like everything else i have had- i get it the way i want it and then i sell it. I wish i had just left it alone and never modded the hell out of it so i wouldnt have to loose so much damn money on it. My dad told me just to leave it alone and it was fast enough but i wouldnt listen. Mustangs are like an addiction to crack. You always want them to be fast like they were at one time so you mod it some more (take another hit) and that works for a while, then the effect wears off and you have to do something else. and it just goes on and on. At least thats the way it is for me.You are always looking for that fast feeling again so you do what you have to do (spend money) to get the feeling again. I dont know why i wanted it to be so fast cause the speed limit is 55mph anyway. just face it guys- they are never going to be fast enough. Just drive it and be happy with it. I just cant seem to do that.

do you guys think i should take off the edelbrock heads and the roller rockers, and the gt40 intake, and put on the stock heads and intake. it will still sound good cause i am not taking that damn cam out. I know i could sell those items on ebay or to a freind or something for a pretty good chunk of money.

if you want to feed your need for speed- get a bike- but you have to respect it or it will give you the need for a casket after it kills you []
