He wants 1800, too bad its got a lift though, I do suppose you could sell the rims for a bit of $$ and walk away pretty good. Low miles too.

That might actually be worth it to someone to contemplate. I wonder how much a person can get for those crazy wheels?

the lift doesn't look too high, it was probably just done with spring cups and/or spring spacers (both 'illegal' here...) which are easily removed.

why would you do that to a car , buy a truck or suv if you want ground clearance !!!! i just dont get it, but the car is clean and would make a nice driver

He didnt need ground clearance he needed rim clearance, yeah I know its hard to think about but he lifted it for the explicit purpose of running large rims.

I seen that add too, creepy... as other than the lift+wheels it looks so much like mine.
If I didn't already have my car I probably would buy that one.....and take those wheels/tires off and sell them. I put some nice 15's on there and see how it looked before trying to lower it though.

Ahem... If I wanted a truck, I'd have one. Also nobody keeps asking to borrow a lifted wagon, and they don't ask me to help them move.

I don't care for the wheels on that car though...

I once had a friend borrow my 99%-stock station wagon to help him move, does that count?

Yeah but your ride is kick ass, IE no ghetto rims and youve even got a brush gaurd, would you mess with that wagon? I think not.
