mileage seems really high. this could mean it was more of a commuter car and the owner wasn't gettin' it constantly, which is good, but idk about 4 year old cars with 70k+ on them.
looks like it's jacked up in the rear. interior is six hells of ugly. fwd. how awesome is it right now? because it's not going to change. it is a nice looking car overall. not too boy-racer or boring...a nice balance. they are pretty quick. i guy i know does pretty well in auto-x with his, but it has some suspension mods. price seems good, to my limited knowledge. --------------------  do you know who i am, mr. worley? |

It looks weird cause the front tires are 215/45/17 adn the rears are 215/50/17 so that neesd to be fixed.... Drove it today and handling was amazing and seemed to drive great. THe old owner put in a CAI which is touching the splash gaurd causing a noise every now and then(atleast what I believe it is) I am worried about the turbo adn the life of it. I need to find a mechanic around here that is familiar with turbo's to check it out cause I don't want the car to blow up... but clutch catches well and brakes are good. |
