DO you know what they are asking for it?

Please let me know asap!
it's at http://www.deienchevrolet.com/ (1.800.427.0092-ask for Tim Deien) in Trenton Illinois. about 20 miles east of St. Louis. they told me they need $11,500 to recoup their losses on it (i'm now blacklisted there), but it's been there for 2 years now. had a new turbo, fresh heads, and probably a cracked piston when i traded it. they gave me $8,500 as trade value. Sy #1542 is for sale at Si Vallet Auto Sales (618.327.3000) in Nashville, il (50 mi. east of STL on I-64). i went and drove it last week. it's repainted blue-cheaply, has some ****-ugly Lund stick on hood scoops, and a humongous disgusting spoiler on it. it also has 2 a-pillar guages, and a supplemental H20 temp guage hacked into it. it was out of tune, and the turbo is weak. it wouldn't spool up whe i tried a boost launch. it would roll out 10-15 feet and then start making pressure. that may be a wastegate issue, too, though. My main ***** about 1542 was the lack of oiginality, and the gasket maker smeared all over the motor and intercooler. price was $12,995. i wouldn't give $9,000 with all the shit they stuck on to it.
sorry for the long post, but i wanted you to know what i know.
