Hi, I'm new here, looking at this particular coupe:
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...e=&cardist=174

It looks pretty good to me but maybe a more experienced eye could see something I'm missing?

One main thing I noticed is the engine cover is missing and there is some kind of custom intake or maybe just a K&N filter. Is this why the cover is removed because it will not fit? If not, how much would one of these cost, I know it's just cosmetic but still...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

 

Haha, I was thinking about buying this exact car too! The dealer posted it on Ebay, I bid but I didnt hit the reserve.

It looks clean to me, as you pointed out, the previous owner installed an intake. The only fear to me is that someone who installs an intake may have ran the car hard or even raced it. It is a 6 speed MT, after all. But other than that, I'd say it's a clean car.

Oh, the price on the autotrader ad is too high. He was asking a buy it now of $24,995 on Ebay. Just to let you know
