The time has come to part ways with the channels favorite cast member. As much as I like to make content that the viewers enjoy I also have to be responsible with my personal finances.
I love this car. Cheaper ones are found frequently but always look like crap and barely run if they run at all. I have no regrets buying it. The timing was perfect as a drunk driver just plowed through my driveway totaling both of my cars. Thanks Jesse!
Congrats on the sale, Jesse. She was a beauty and glad it went to a pretty cool new owner too. $17k cash is fair and very doable. I used to own a red 2GB GSX 20 years ago, had the 6bolt swap done, fully built and was red and stock appearance. Sold it to finish college, started a career, bought a house, got married, had two kids…. But now that many of us OGs from the 90s are hitting our “mid life” crisis, $17k is fair for running and still in great condition. Once we move and finish our new build, I should have a 4 stall heated man garage and one spot will be for a red 2gb.
Congrats on the sale bro! I have a 1998 (final year) Talon TSI AWD with 17k miles and a boatload of high quality mods and people still try to tell me it's worth nothing. They are called "haters" for a reason. Keep doing you and have fun other there.
honestly bro as a newbie DSM guy i dont mind miles on car i care about the condition of the car more id buy a high miled minty car over low mile and not as clean as a higher miled version.
Damn dude, as owner of 99 gsx myself I can't believe how much you got for yours. I never thought these cars would be even remotely close to that price yet. Congrats on the sale
I must admit, I'm impressed you got that price for the car. Not because it isn't worth it, but because there are so many brokedick people in the DSM community. It's a desirable car with tasteful mods, and the overall used-car market is on fire right now, so congrats to you. I am sad to see the car go, I enjoyed the content you made with it. Hoping to see some of the same type of content with the 3000GT
As always great video 😆. You are so right about these trolls. I have an 04 srt4 that's actually CLEAN.......it's the same thing for these cars. For some reason people refuse to accept that clean examples of these cars are going up in value. Just as it is with the eclipse. People are stupid. That will never change.
Yo I loved your gsx ..sad it’s gone but I’m sure u will find another one ..dope content bro here from Las Vegas ..sure has me excited and this my 2nd eclipse ..ordering parts for my 99 gst I’m pumped .. still will continue watching 🙌
Sorry to see it go Jesse. But a big thanks for all the content you provided. Helped me out big time while doing my own wrenching, having all the torque specs and details in your vids saved lots of time scrolling through forums having to read everyone’s toxic reply’s to finally find the answer from someone who actually wanted to help the OP. Your descriptions in this video were spot on.
I had a 96 gsx that i bought for $3400, replaced the radiator, coolant hoses, turbo, intercooler, BOV and put new tires on it and got $6k and it was much more of a shit box lmfao, glad you were able to get out what you put in
FB scabs always think they know better. Even if you priced it at $50k, that's your choice and your value of it, along with whatever people end up paying for it. The 95-99 GSX isn't easy to find anymore + in good/running condition. Sad to see it go, but I'm actually thinking of fixing mine up and doing the same thing with a $15-$20k price.
What I’ve learned the past couple years is that you can sell anything even if the price is not reasonable to most. Sold a car for 9k and three owners later bought it for 16k lol it’s definitely possible to get asking prices
Best way of showing you don’t give a sh*t is to ignore the stuff bro. But yeah man that eclipse was a gem. I am sad to see it go but yeah luckily you have the vr4. And for that kinda loot who wouldn’t consider selling it.. lol
Dsm r going up in price and when it's in beautiful condition u have all rights to ask that price there rare now can't seem to find them anywhere. DSM FOR LIFE!!!!
I love this man lol. I posted my 64k original miles gst up for sale in the same page. And people lost there minds on both ends of the spectrum hahah. Congrats man on the sale car looks great.
I saw it on Craigslist, was gonna shoot you a message to say your vids inspired me to find one lol. They’re becoming harder to find now, I’ve been searching all around the country because I live in New Hampshire, lots of rust buckets here.
Damn I’m super sad you sold the eclipse. Hopefully getting my 97 gsx back on the road this year. It’s been sitting apart in the garage the last two years lol.
Honestly $17000 seems fair in my opinion, especially after the rebuild you did on it! It’s like the Integras rn; they can be worth $10-25k for a clean example (depending on trim). People who thought that was ridiculous are probably mad they don’t have the $17k to buy it. 🤷♂️
I saw that shit on the Forums. I paid 5k for one with shit but fixable Rockers. When I bought mine two years ago called up like 5 shops they all said DSM owners don't wanna pay. I was like I got 1k to get things going and money didn't even work.
I'm honestly glad you rosted the people in the comment on that group. They all think they know so much but you really hit the nail on the head with them lmao. Don't get me wrong that group is great to get parts from and a smaller portion of them are very cool and helpful. But ya I won't try and sell a car on it unless you can deal with the idiots lol.
Don’t judge the whole group based on those guys. A clean 99 is worth whatever someone will pay. You turned me on to the AVID.1s and inspired me to get back to work on my projects. I do love the call out/throwin the shade back though, good stuff!
Those look like legit comments lol and hilarious too! Don’t you just love haters?! I am not hating by any means but also kinda just shocked that you actually got that much money for that car that is literally amazing and awesome and a super huge amount of money for anyone to spend on that car! I saw a fully built clean title GS-X go for $12k about 3-4 years back and that was a high point, but we’re in a bit crazier time right now I suppose! If you can afford to buy something and aren’t worried about anything than why not eh! I’m kind of in the same boat looking for a clean title fully built SRT4 lol, I don’t mind spending a bit but also not trying to throw money away at the same time! Seems like you like what you do and are good at it so F the haters and enjoy your life!
@@therealjessescheel that is insane I couldn’t imagine spending that kind of money for that car, it must have been brand new zero miles with the plastic still wrapped for that price and then some lol I ended up buying a MK6 GTI bagged on rotiforms, stage 2+, DSG, just got all major maintenance done, timing chain/tensioner, motor/trans mounts and much more so hopefully it’ll be good to me till my next toy!
I was gonna be like what!? Nooo keep it and then I saw you got 17k for it. Good shit dude. Beautiful car you had fun with and we all enjoyed it too. Now, more vr4! ❤️
Sad to see it go but that's all a decision that needs to be made by the owner so I can't hate on that I'm glad you got a good price it was in great shape so good deal
Loved the DSM. It's the reason I subscribed. Not like losing my subscription would hurt at all, but I stopped watching the buying and selling RU-vid channels a while ago. I primarily watch the channels where the owner stays with the same car or adds a new car. This buying and selling for a ridiculous markup is getting old and boring.
😔 Sad to see her go, 😃 Happy to see the New Owner Happy 😄😅😂 Putting post on Blast! Hilarious!!! 😎 Jesse Congrats on Achieving your Goals Man! Thanks again for another awesome Video.. I Look forward for the content on the 3000GT VR4😎👍
😂 @ the hate comments. I see them all the time on Facebook, I be dying laughing at them. Even if you weren't on reps, you still would get hate comments. Broke boys always have something to say! It would be mad hard to find a clean, unmolested GSX like that. They're offering $6k but don't even have $6k.
I sold my mint red 1gb awd with 100k miles on it for 6k.....bought it for 550.00 4 years ago not running. Made 4k profit on it. Sometimes it just comes time to sell, I don't hate you for it at all. I'm 5,10 and the 2g is a bitch for even me to get into let a lone a guy that's 6ft plus. Liked your dsm content, not really much out there for dsm love but it is what it is.
A thing to note is DSM enthusiasts are the cheapest people on earth as many have said on the dsm tuners forums. With that being said the car of best bang for your buck is slowly coming to an end
i delt with the same shit when selling my 98 low mile low rust (non on towers) gsx and my 6 bolt swap gst making about 500 on pump 93. i do think 17000 was a bit much but you got it so congrats. i got 6 for mine but i kept the wheels. if anyone has a clean 2gb gsx lmk
Thats the dsm community for you,a lot of haters Edit-i had 2 of them a pearl grey 2g manual, and a 98 dark red 2g auto and i honestly could not understand why people that already had built dsm's talked shit, especially grown men instead of giving me advice.
Loser! Now what am I gonna watch on RU-vid?! jk 😜 Love you, Jesse! Congrats on your asking price! Now maybe I can sell my '99 GST for like 5k? Nahh, not ready to part with it. Not yet. 🙂
Everyone hating have know clue what a GSX is... I tried like hell to fine one and ended up with just a GS-T. They also love the the fast and furious eclipse and have no clue it's a 420a 😂🤣
God damn I feel like an idiot 🙁 I just sold my 1997 Mitsubishi eclipse GSX for 6500 I had a post for 8000 on craigslist I didn’t realize how much those cars were worth I definitely regret it selling it for that much didn’t realize the value of the vehicle I had dammit
@@youcanthidebc yep that’s was it it was so beautiful 😭 and no it didn’t have crank walk it was the new clutch had to be broken in the new owner just said he put 400 miles on the clutch and the Shaking vibration Are gone but yea I regret selling it for so cheap 😩
