New here but have an important question...

Guy is trying to sell me a 2003 Black on Black, coupe, 6MT, Brembo, Greddy exhaust, Injen intake, B&M short shifter, and Aftermarket navi, 68k miles, for $9k

The catch is it has a Salvage Title it was damaged on the front fender and driver door, (repair work was decent) but was repaired stock rim has rash there a tiny dent in rear corner panel and a tiny tear in driver seat, air bag light is on, has scratches here in there... Its not mint, but it not bad. a lil rough... WORTH IT? or NOT?

I hate the front billet after market grill it has, and hate the after market Navi I would perfer stock.

I stopped reading at "decent repair work".

It's not worth it. Save up some more, or buy yourself a cheaper car you can afford.

When I say decent repair work... I mean you can tell the paint difference, as well as I'm picky... I want another G cause I've had 2 in the past both coupes 6MT brembo navi one was red and the other was grey now I want a black one and want to pay cash cause I'm tired of payments...

Airbag light would concern me. If you need new ones they are hella expensive. I agree with others who said look around.

That car may seem tempting now, but it's going to turn into a money pit in the future. No wonder he's trying to unload it for cheap. Some poor sucker is going to fall into that trap and I suggest it not be yourself.

i got it at a somewhat local car auction. not many people wanted it because the paint had some issues, and it was rolling on some rusty 17 inch 350z wheels..... both problems were fixed by a paintjob by a friend that works at a paintshop and some 19 rays (with brand new rear tires) i picked up from a guy on craigslist for 550$
