this car looks like it's been abused. i'm sure with ur experience u can find a cleaner one, not a car that has been dedicated to the track!

I agree...the car looks like it might have had a hard life. Plus those pics are horrible. It almost looks like scratchs on the right rear fender...but damn if i can tell for sure with such crappy pics.

I don't mind that a car has had a track-life. I think a lot of people take better care of their cars when they do track, but this one just looks like at spent a lot of time in the back of the pack. I say pass, max I would go is very low $50's

Word. I don't mind a tracked car, but this one looks like it's been rode hard and put away very wet.

Looks like you're attracted to the mods and the spectre of it blasting down the track leaving everything in the rear view mirror. Most of the guys here seem to think you should look elsewhere. I tend to agree....in spite of the fact there is a lot of money in mods....the REAL money comes when the engine coughs its last breath.

Maybe it's in good mechanical shape....maybe it's not....wanna spend that kind of money to find out? The only thing that's boosting that car into the high sixties is the mods because otherwise for the mileage and year it's overpriced.

Lesson learned. Pay all the money for the right car. This is not the one.

SO SO SO SO true...there seems to be a great "wholesalers" and bargain buyer's car, and then there is a great car...my turbo was around 70 last year and though it was definitely high, the car has performed SO well and is SO reliable and perfect in comparison to others that it seems to have paid itself off in stupid small repairs and better longevity...
