But they can still ask 50k for a 20k car, its the buyers responsibility to fork over the part the financial institution won't cover.
I agree with you there.They just gotta come across the right person with that kind of money.Not an everyday Joe especially in my area that has that kind of money.I used some inheritance money to buy it.And they were asking 30,000.00.Like I said I got lucky.

Heres a close up.Notice the damn scratches all over my door from my fuckin dog going crazy while we were out of town and it was storming and the person watching our house left the damn garage open so my dog tried to get in it because of the storm.

Hmmm...bolt ons are minor mods...

Ok, the big block in my Dakota is a minor mod. I bolted it to the frame rails just like a stock engine. it was very simple really--pulled the old motor out, put the new one in.

I could do it in a day if I had everything built and sitting on the garage floor ready to go.:jester:

Minor mods: intake, CAI, roller rockers, thermostat, headers, exhaust, etc.
hot rod "standard" means that it's cheap, easy to install, and really only adds about 5-15 hp by itself.

major mods: strokers, blowers, turbos, cams, heads, etc. hot rod standard would say that it's a lot more expensive, and dramatically changed the performance of the engine...also, not something that you're gonna do in an afternoon with a couple buddies and a 6-pack. that supercharger MIGHT be a "bolt on" but I promise you that it was NOT done in a few hours. the supercharger is a major mod because to keep the tune of the engine correct, they also probably did the computer tune, injectors, and fuel pump at the same time, to keep it from going lean with all that new air coming into the motor.

just food for thought. there is no "text book" answer for a bolt on minor mod vs a major mod anyway, so you're entitled to your opinion and we to ours

Minor mods are bolt on or EXTERNAL engine modifications.
Thats besides the POINT.The point is that my Z06 when it was stock was and is faster than the 427 roush.

Actually I sold cars for 2 years at Bill Heard Chevrolet,now bankrupt,back in the 90's.The only cars you can do that to are new.We used to make tons of money selling the Mark III packages on conversion vans.A dealership cant finance a USED car through a bank that is way above book value.The bank will say no can do.We could sale the hell out of those conversion vans and they can bring it back a year later to trade and we can only trade it in for what the book trade in value says.
Your grammer is worse than mine:stirthepo
