Is it a 6 speed? A weak clutch was a very common problem.

In my opinion, I would say that it seems like a good deal. Edmunds.com is in the ball park without taking into consideration all the mods. What color is it and have you driven it?

Considering running the VIN number returns a clean record and not issues, sounds like a great deal to me.Almost too good. All those mods are a big bonus. You just need to get an Injen Cold Air Intake. I would not wait for even a second to finalize a deal.

I was checkin up on this car too. I ran a carfax says it was in an accident and was inspected for rear end damage. i am unsure of what the damage is I contacted the seller and they had no input. it could be as minor as a bumper scratch but who knows

If it is the one i saw... the drivers front wheel has major curbage... and the pics look familiar... like it was up for auction months ago... but overall it looks pretty clean.

I did the same, and the seller says they couldnt tell what was fixed by visual inspection.

Yeah that says to me there's a new bumper on there painted the right color so i guess its ok.

Buyer beware this could be a gold mine or a rat trap. Frame damage etc who knows.
