I personally do not like buying modded cars. I like to start with a somewhat clean slate. Looks like a decent price for the mileage though. If your local go see it in person.

Looks pretty nice. I'm always iffy with a modified car though. You have no real way of knowing what was done right and what wasn't. Sometimes you'll find out a couple days after purchasing, sometimes months and you end up kicking yourself in the a$$. Granted, that could be the case with any car...but with an obviously heavily modified car you're automatically at a MUCH greater risk.

That's easy to say. But even if that is actually the case....professional installers take short cuts too. Trust me, I installed custom car audio professionally for 5 years....I've seen it all from supposed "professionals". Either way, you're better off with an unmolested vehicle no doubts about it.

lmao at his initial comment about "custom wheels" then later we find out they're painted stockers.

Have you seen it in person? Driven it?

I'm not a fan of modded, but it's not like he TT or SC'd it. New brakes, if it stops.... they work. Clutch? Drive it and see how it feels, warm and cold.

Etc.

Miles are highish, but new paint is expensive. Pics are in the dark, how's it look in person?

Etc.

Meh, a little on the high side price wise I would think. But again, that is my opinion. If you are comfortable paying whatever you agree on price wise it doesn't seem like that bad of a car in the pictures.

Just have to go look and see what the car has to offer...

You could take it by any auto paint supply store and they'll have sample boards which you could use to match it up as closely as possible....Ive never seen ANY touch up paint match EXACTLY anyways.

Hopefully, the owner that paid for the painting kept receipts and the color information.

Plus, anyone that pays for that expensive of paint and doesn't take what was left ain't brilliant. Or did they really think the painter used is ALL?

They should have been given a touch-up sample at the VERY least.

+1 to the guy above me as a backup.
