Good news, I got a great job offer in exton PA. Bad news it's over an hour away and I drive a blown R/T heh. Bad news, I have to sell her, my wife said I could get an audi a4 quattro.. kind of small car but it's gotten great reviews and looks nice. Anyhow here is the deal with my truck...
2000 Dakota R/T CC, Black, Looks Great, Runs Great, 80k Miles
Exterior:
It's black with grey decals
20' American Eagle Wheels (Brand New)
Goodyear GTS II's tires (Brand New)

Performance Mods:
Powerdyne Blower @ 6lb (I have the 9lb pulley too)
MSD 6-Btm w/ boost retard + SS Coil
Fastman Throttle Body
Flowmaster Cat-back Exhasut/Gibson Rectangle Tips

MTX Thunderform w/ 2 Kicker Comp. VR's
MTX Amp pushing 150w to each sub, under seat.
For the mids/highs I have an infinity component set, a 1f cap along with another mtx amp that I would include, I just haven't had time to install them yet.
Dual pillar guage pod w/ autometer comp. boost and A/F guage.. I also have a triple pod piller waiting to go in that I would include.
I'm sure there is more, I can get some pics up soon. I'm asking 15k for it, you guys all know how much money I've dropped into my truck from the list above. It's got a clean carfax report of course, no wrecks etc.

Nope 15k is a great price, the trucks retail is 12k.. I have over 6k invested plus it's in great shape and runs like a champ. I didn't include all the lil' cheap asthetic upgrades like the clear corners up front, glo-guages inside and the SS grille inserts. Anyhow, you interested or something?

I thought when you sell a vehicle it should match kellys blue book value, sorry but you lost out on those mods they dont increase your trucks value.

Thanks guys, yeah selling the truck bites. The Audi gets killer mileage, looks good and with the quatro option will carry me in the snow. AHHHH which reminds me, I forgot to mention that my r/t has the mopar stall converter heh... see that's another damn 350 bones worth of mods + labor in fact the old conv. is sitting in the bed waiting to be turned in for 80 bones.. you can have that too : O )
Blue Action, correct if you sell a vehicle that matches a kbb profile the price should match. Go ahead and configure up a blown r/t on 20's on KBB bro. I know I'm loosing money, and to be honest I'll keep doing it as long as companies make high perf. parts and I have tools man. If you have the kind of shate' perspective you have then I guess it's safe to say you'll loose money on your computer and whatever your hobby is that defines you and keeps you happy but who cares, you sound like my wife who has over 1k worth of shoes in the closet and a $300 mixer for oatmeal cookies she makes once a year.
Don't you think I'm already investigating how I can safely pull more boost out of the I4 audi? Of course! Besides there is a sick cummulative hp/tq gain effect when it comes to installing a blower and supporting mods... when you have a pickup that basically eats up anything under 30k it leads to some PRICELESS moments. Oh hey about the 20's here is the exact wheel, I'll have pics of my truck up soon
I thought I would post it because they are not all crazy looking and I went with 45's as far as the tire height goes so they aren't super thin or anything. They look wicked.

I can't scott, I can't swing the extra insurance plus I would need at least a 4-5k civic to get me to work and back (I dont have that kind of money)until my R/T would be paid off at which point I could get a nice car to get me back and forth but I couldn't afford to do all that man.
I'd rather just get a new car @ 60 mos. w/ 0-4% apr know what I mean? Plus the wife is driving me hard core to sell my truck and she has the killer credit, both of our vehicles are fixed @ under 4%. She drives this teeeny 2003 jetta.. very cute car heh.. needless to say she HATES the R/T man hah.

First of all, where are your pics....a picture says a thousand words...
second...if your a web developer, why dont you have a web site to advertise your ride?
third...if you really did put that much money into a Dakota...why would you sell it so cheap...and why would you sell it at all? You would make more money parting out your mods and selling the truck stock..
kinda fishy if you ask me...

I don't know about fishy, but I agree about parting it out. Sell all the mods seperate and return it as near you can to stock since bluebook won't reflect the mods. Then either sell it private party or take a bit of a hit and trade it to the dealer to make things easier.

Fishy.. hah, no more like I start my new job in 3 weeks and I'll be making 14k more a year and I just want it taken care of that's all. Currently I work at a very small agency in DE servicing financial clients... at my new job I will serve as Interactive Developer for Newell Rubbermain which encompases Graco/Rubbermaid/Tiny Tikes so I'm feeling naturally high @ this point hah.
Yes I will have pics up soon, my digital camera is broken BUT I plan on showing my truck @ the mopar freak show here in DE on aug 2nd near the Durango/Mopar plant... it will be it's first show so I guarantee I'll have a camera by then. I'm trying to talk my wife into us getting a digital recorder this time.
Red, I guess I should have a site up for it but I'm very busy and my hot "free-time" project right now is my 7 month old son's site www.sirfuzzyhead.com .. it's not complete, but it's all database driven and built in vb.net/flash, the content is dynamic everything. If I wasn't such a perfectionist I'd be done with his (Nathan's site) by now but I still have a months work on it and I need to get it finished before my new job starts or I wont ever have time. Family wise I'm alone up north, this site is so my mom/brother in the navy/sister can see him as he gets fatter and wider and occasionally taller hah.
Hey Eggman, thanks for the word man! Yeah people are weird sometimes. Especially non-members, probly just apprehensive and sceptic because they paid X amount for their ride and are pissed that now I come along wanting to get rid of my truck at a steal.

why do you say that xplikt? I thought you were a developer too? Maybe I'm getting mixed up. Did you like the site btw? .net takes care of creating the thumbnails, creating the buttons/icons to launch the larger version etc.. basically my wife just drops the high res large versions of the images directly from the camera into a directory (I showed her how to ftp) and bada-bing twinkle twinkle the shate' is good to go heh.

You should part out some of the mods that don't increase the value (kbb). If you do decide to I may be interested in a couple of the parts, depending on the price.

I don't have the time to part it out, main reason is the blower. I can yank the TB or the ignition etc. without also pulling out the blower because of pulled timing, a/f ratio etc, it's tuned perfectly so if I did pull parts I would have to pull just about everything. Now you've got me thinking about maybe ripping it all out and then trading in my truck for the audi, who knows. I'll be posting pics soon, when I do I'll have decided if I want to part it out.
UCFDak, email me (mike@figit.com) so I have your email address in case I do sell the rims. Only thing w/ that is I'd need you to send me your stock rims because I sold my R/T wheels/tires man.

Ok guys I got an offer I can't pass up on my blower/ignition/pods/guages so I'm going to go ahead and sell off the rest THEN trade her in. So everything on the above list is up for grabs minus the exhaust and torque conv. of course, email me an offer on any of it at mike@figit.com if your interested. Those of you interested in the rims/tires I would need you to send me your R/T rims for replacement because I've already sold mine.
Thanks a bunch guys,

First of all eggman... suk a nut, i wasnt bashing him, i am interested in parts. The fact of the matter is, that if he wanted to really sell his truck he would be making more of an effort....like truck trader, newspaper, ect. Furthermore, if he were a web developer he would have some sort of web site...most likely. I am a DBA and I have been around a crap load of web developers in my time and almost all of them have web sites for their interests. In which case he does for his kiddo. So it is unlikely for him to be interested in selling something if all he is doing is word of mouth advertising. I have found a lot of kids on this forum tend to say they have things and they dont.
So what do you have left mike?

I have everything but the blower/guages/ignition as mentioned above red. As mysterious as this may sound I do have a website, it's www.figit.com... no my truck is not featured on my self-promo site but I don't need an "I'm selling my truck" website or micro-site off mine. I'm simply going to trade it in and take however long I need to sell the removed bolt-ons.
