Okay so here are the details...

Would you buy? I spoke with the owner at length last night and he seems like a straight forward guy.

looks clean but I will double check on who built the Engine... hey, just to get a full build, TT, suspension.. etc you'll be in 25K+ easy so as long as there is nothing wrong with the build (make sure it is not eating oil like crazy) then I'll buy it...

Edit: Never mind it was built by SGP...

Make sure you do a compression test on the engine if you do buy it. Get some kind of 3-day warranty to check everything out by a good mechanic as well.

Looks sick, I would get a 30 warranty so that you can have it fully checked out and make sure it is in working condition. I did that on one of my past cars.

I'd ****** that up, but as others have said make sure you get some kind of warranty to get things checked out and make sure the engine isn't ready to blow.

^^i would highly doubt a built engine with low miles would be ready to blow, but getting compression/leakdown is a must!

I know this guy and I have seen this car in person. It is a very well done car and he knows his stuff....

The car is clean... and looks very good in person, I can not however vouch for the engine condition first hand (she sounds like a F'n BEAST) however and would get any FI'd car checked out.
