Seems like a decent price, I'd be wary of buying a modded car though... Who knows if the car was beat on, or if there are lurking issues with the drivetrain.

I love that color combo but I don't think I would do it.

Unless you're set on it, I'd personally go with a stock or fairly stock car for fear of what everyone else has mentioned.

Just piece of mind, plus you can find something around the 20K mark too.

Don't Vortech G's typically bring pretty good money? This price is probably a direct reflection of it's condition.

Well, what about if it is in Great Condition???

The thing that makes me feel secure about it all is that it is local!

What should I look for and what should I ask the buyer?

How long has the supercharger been on the g?

What supporting Mods have been installed?

Id take it to a mechanic first… and its weird that the dealer is selling it at that price… dealers will normally sell a modded car for more than its worth

Don't buy a modded car, unless its someone you know personally. If it breaks, you can't go to his house and be like, "dude, what the hell?" just because its local.

That's a steal! Buy it, but make sure you get an extended warranty plan.

450 on a stock block is alot. Enough for it to go BOOM! I would personally have the vortech removed and sell it. And also the motor. You can buy long blocks pretty cheap( Or buy a built one and put your own F/I setup on). That way you keep all the other mods and have a great car.
