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.

yeah me concerns are mileage, but had to be lots of highway to really get that high in 3 years... 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.
