Default Diesel Discovery2 with a manual trans for sale

I could go on and on about his thing for hours; how much I love it, how I overcame some of the conversion roadblocks, how much FUN it is to drive but most of the details are on the craigslist listing. I'm asking $13,800. I'd love to hear thoughts on pricing it. Keep in mind a conversion kit with a USED engine is $5k-6k. So lets assume you can buy an engineless manual transmission conversion kit for $3000. I paid Turner Engineering $5500 for my reman engine. The conversion kit didn't include everything so I spent a couple grand on miscellaneous items too. I'm a professional auto technician in Bellingham, WA and I spent roughly 80 hours on the conversion. It can be done in as little as 20 hours but I wanted a very clean, near fully functioning result. All the details are on Bellingham's Craigslist. Thoughts????

Feel free to PM or reply via craigslist with any questions.

Will do. Although, I guess you just did it for me. Thanks! I dropped the price to $15,000 and now I've dropped it again to $13,800. I'm not going to go much lower.

I dropped the price to $15,000. The only reason I'm selling this awesome creation is that my wife HATES driving a manual transmission. So I am considering trading MY LAND ROVER for an AWD/4X4 7-passenger SUV or van with an automatic transmission.
