no way that 50k is invested.... not IMO at least....
i dont really like it...it doesnt look right,. the interior is nice though. oh and yea 25 k for that.....dont think so
just not seeing the value
worste part is i saw that car at sema , and the ias show , the wide body was crackin
the car is just straight nasty
ill give him the starting bid and thats as high as i go
i like the concept of the car... but wouldnt buy it.
how come the wheels look photochopped in the pic
^^^^ that's because they are, if you look you can see clean thru them onto the other side, and at that angle I think that's impossible.
Experience is something you get after you need it.

So basically this seller is hoping to find a sap who would be willing to pay $25,000 or more for nothing more than a base model Sunfire? Yes I know the description says power windows...among other things...but with those cranks on the door I hardly think so. I believe some wise j-body member said something to the effect of no matter how much modification you do to a Cavalier (in this case a Sunfire) it's still a Cavalier (in this case a Sunfire). I can appreciate the work they done and how nice the car looks...but in my opinion that car is not even worth $25,000. If I was serious about it, I may give them an offer of $15,000 but that's it. I mean $25,000 is pushing borderline entry performance cars and mid-level luxury and for that price I will always pick a new Mustang GT or another well suited car over a heavily modded Sport Compact.
Air ride? On that car? Booooooo...

no offence icee smooth but you kind of talk like a highschool kid , you know the ones that see commercials on tv and see a mustang blazing down the road doin like 170km with the wheels spinning and then take on the beleif that mustangs camaros and trans ams are truely the premium sports car. as for your comment about 25 g's being too much to spend on a sport compact .. hmm ... iono about that iv been to shows and seen sport compacts with easily 50g's into them. you can take a basemodel used sunfire for 2000$ , turbo it and add some bolt ons and be sitting around 8,000 for your whole car.. and dust the doors of a 25-30,000 dollor mustang. dont get me wrong im not knocking the "all american muscle" mustang lol , im just saying most of our cars you can pick up bone stock for no more than 2000-4000 dollors... as where a mustang or camaro would run you close to 20.. so youd be saving that 15,000 some odd dollors that you could use in modifications making your ride incredibly faster/better looking then your average stock 20,000 dollor mustang.
anyways ... this is a sport compact site... so lets not knock the sport compacts

No offense taken Ryan...Actually, I'm not knocking sport compacts in any way, shape, or form...I OWN a sport compact. I'm just simply stating that I would not pay $25,000 for a heavily modded sport compact that SOMEONE else did, in all honestly I would much rather take that money and do my own magic to my current car or get a different car (used of course) and start from scratch. I personally think the car looks sharp, looks slick and it's great...and even if someone put $1,000,000 worth of modifications into a vehicle, it does not automatically make the value of that car worth $1,000,000. Perhaps it may be worth more or perhaps it may be worth less I can't say. I can and really do appreciate the amount of work that people put in their cars, I've said it in the past and I'll say it again I respect anyone (whether it's on this board or elsewere) who takes the time and effort (and money) to put that into their car to get it to perform better, to look better or whatever their preference is. I know modifications aren't cheap. I just spent the better part of today, driving cross state, getting a tally on how much it would cost me to have a body kit, new muffler, wheels & tires, interior makeover, a little bit of lowering, and other things done to my car. So I know that modding doesn't come cheap. I'm sure that there are some modded sport compacts that would wipe the asphalt with a stock Mustang, Camaro, or what have you...I never said that it wouldn't. I just said for that money I would rather invest in something different. Maybe I'm on the far, far left here, but I don't think anyone who had $25,000 sitting on their lap would just go out and buy a heavily modded Sunfire, Cavalier, Neon, Cobalt, RSX, Civic, Corolla or what have you unless it came from a point of purchase (meaning dealership) that way..
As far as thinking Mustangs, Camaros and Trans Ams are "premium performance cars" again, I never said or went that far. I just said for the price that they are asking for that Sunfire, even if they did put $25,000 or more of modifications into the car, that is just beginning to touch the price entry level performance cars...I know that a Mustang GT is know where near being a "premium performance car," I still consider that to be entry level (o.k., now let the Mustang lovers start bashing me). I used Mustang for an example because I'm a Mustang nut, I have always been one but have never owned one. As for me saying for that price I would rather own a new Mustang GT was knock on a sport compacts, it wasn't meant to be a knock at all and if you took it that way, I truely apologize, but I still stand by my statement that for $25,000 I would rather invest in a vehicle that was actually worth $25,000 or take that $25,000 and invest in my own vehicle. I would not pay that price on the work that some else did....I mean someone could say they put $75,000 worth of mods into a car and say they are only selling for $30,000 but that doesn't necessary make it true.
I guess I'm a little skeptical...but if people must flame me, then go ahead...just expressing my thoughts...go jbo
25 grand for that car? get the hell out of here...
ill go buy a GTO for that much

Personal taste I guess. But the styling of the widebody along with the other mods make it look more like a performance vehicle. Granted, there's no boost... IMHO, airbags do not belong on performance cars. Setup weighs too much...

That car was at SEMA in vegas a few years ago. It has trouble turning because the tires are so wide as are the fender flares from what I heard. Nobody makes that kit at all from what I understand and when it shown on here way back when everybody wanted it.
Funny how things change when a price tag is attached eh?
