:angry7: because they pretty much are.

I saw an 01 SSEi on Vanc Craigslist for $4,500. :eek2:

So now I really need to decide what to do with my over priced 94 SSEi. The insurance will not be renewed 5 months from now. I will probably just park it up on blocks indefinitely. Someone might want it then for $2,000. :sad5: It's a great winter beater.

Guess I don't understand why everyone wants to keep this car on the road? When you realize how much money is to be had in parts, maybe you guys will change your minds. :arcade:

Good point.
I could turn the Grizz into a parts car too. Probably get more than the sum of the whole............if there was a market for the parts here but there isn't. :sad5:

Another thought I had was just getting in it and driving until it dies somewhere.......anywhere.....and then flying home satisfied that I truly drove it into the ground.
Someone else we know did just that......Boss455 with a black 94 SSEi. :bhuh:

LOL, the pictures with the 4 SSEi's lined up is priceless!

I was about to grab the wire harness you showed me, but I just saw this. Maybe we can work out a better price than Morad had or at least save a bit on shipping since I was also looking at something else. The passenger side, front window sill. Once again I've put redoing them off too long and it has cracked up like my driver's side did a while back. So fog light wire harness (provided it works?) and the exterior window sill. Thanks. Oh, I might be looking to grab the rear trans mount as well, but I'll have to investigate a little on that first.

Exactly. If you have a place and time to do the dismantle, and a place to store the parts (for years), and the ability to be shipping parts daily, you can easily triple - quintuple your investment.

I'd love to start an actual business doing this, but while going to school makes it kinda difficult.

Is the red '03 being parted out? If the hood herpies issue was solved by '03 and the hood is dentless I would like to know what you would want for the hood. shipping mind you might be ridiculous.

What is it in the States with the title? In Canada, if a registration is lost / missing you get a reprint and off you go.
I'd pop the windshield out, go to the wreckers and pull a serial number off a car, rivet it in place and take the title from that car! Voila!

Just saying, hypothetically... Maybe that's a bit illegal?

Look, I just quoted myself!
Sorry, was just curious about the laws down there. It's a bit different than how it works here. Forget I asked the question. #-o

Good luck with the sale, Andrew. You could definitely make this a worthy business for yourself!

I would have kept her but couldn't get her home :sad5: There's not a huge 2k+ Bonne/PA market around here, used or partwise. These finds and rebuilds are always a good read. Fun and informative! Keep them coming!
