I'm asking well below what is into it ($9880 total). It's a fair price.

I've never totaled it all up before... yikes... that hurts

Glad I did a lot of bargin shopping and got some deals along they way of I'd be up to about $11k for what I see people pay for clutches & flywheels & wheels/tires and what not.
As far as autotrader I hate them! I listed my car as an Impreza.. even when I got to edit my info it still says Impreza, but it only comes up under outback in the search. I've sent e-mails, filled out survey's... I'm calling them tomorrow to bitch... I'm not even hitting my target market.
Whew..... I feel better now to have vented some
Somebody help me out. I'm going to offer $100 or a free brand new lightweight (not underdriven) crank pulley if you can direct a buyer to me (and they purchase it).
Thanks Guys!
