Would you trade?

Sure you have all that work done but to someone who doesn't know about cars like you say it means nothing they just see a car with almost 200 k on it

[DC5_Pedroooo]

I feel kind of bad that he doesn't know anything about cars. I didn't want my car to end up with a know nothing. I offered him 8k for it this morning and I'm just waiting on his response. He paid $7500 for it so I made it a better deal.

Basically lol. I'm unhappy with my FA5 and every other car I've owned. None compare to that DC5 which was the first I ever bought on my own.
