Is de-restricting the first thing to do. I really just want to be able to get past 32mph :)

You are aware that your speedometer lies by at least 3 mph? Sp 32 indicated will be 29 actual mph.

Price is dependent on several thing. Condition, running or not, TITLE and where you are located at, so what it is worth in Seattle may or may not reflect what it is worth in St. Louis.
