My pockets are deeper if I blow less money haha. I could have 5 grand in five months and still be living pretty good. Another thing iv considered is zzp's l36 super charger (no top swap version) which ill check out when I go to grand rapids michigan next year. I know you make tons of money chibi cause my brother who was a programer for tmobile just got back home witha caddilac cts and more money in the bank then he knows to do with. Oh and a steam library for the record books. Lol.

 

I don't make a ton of money, my wife and I have a decent joint income and I am very budget conscience. I work hard on my goals and save save save.

I would skip the ZZP kit. If you are top-swapping, do the full top-swap so you aren't limited to ZZP's custom made belts and pulleys. Or look at their budget turbo. By the time you have that "supercharger" kit put together, it will be almost the same price as their Z3

 

Budget consciousness is something I may have but haven't chosen to enforce upon myself. Maturity comes with age and I am learning some more important things. Turbo or super either would make me happy eventually. Hopefully this is the only winter I will have to DD my monte and then I can get a cheaper DD and really put money into red. Thanks for the advice.

 

all that did was **** me off. joke!joke!joke! thieves indeed.

 

I trust Kelley blue book for values. You have to figure, most of us think our cars are worth more than they really are since they're special to us.


Private party value for my cars.
04 Intimidator in very good condition: $7,043
97 monte in fair condition: $1,031

 

 

Mine is Worth an Arm and a leg, a heart and Soul, Plenty of Bloody Knuckles, Sweat and Tears!
It was said hear that any car is only worth what the next buyer is willing to pay for it. I say Bull Pucky!
Your car is worth what you put into it. To you, it's current owner. That is the most important opinion of the value of your Monte. Because that is how much you value it. A car who's owner neglects it, isnt worth anything to that owner. A car who's owner takes pride in it has great value!
If you LOVE your Monte, don't concern yourself with the Resale Value, concern yourself with the Personal Value. Because for as long as you own it, Love it, and Take Care of it, it has Great value to you!
I Love my Monte!

 

If I change the ZIP code for the KBB lookup from California to say, Arkansas the value goes up.

West Coast penalty I guess since it's not a hybrid or has the word 'Honda' on the rear decklid.

 

All I know mine is insuranced with Barrett Jackson insurance and if something happen s stolen totaled I get a check for 45k
So that would be the only way I would get anything for the Monte because its in the family forever.
