This car sounds familiar...I think it's been discussed on either here or Rennlist before. Who was the tuner? Where's the car located....do you have a link?

it seems a little steep for the mileage and year. the mods are a good thing if done properly and the ppi checks out. i would guess low 60s on this car..... give it a shot, you've got nothing to lose.

if it were me i would pass, i am presuming this is a 6spd car, right. you've chosen the right color. for me, i could do without the porsche navi, the deviated stitching, hre wheels and all the carbon fiber add ons. so to me, the extra 6-7k is not worth it in my mind, because i would not plan on laying it out later. the 525 whp is another story, that is great 1st pcar hp.

If its a Stage1 car then it doesnt make 525whp unless its a X50 car and even then 525 all wheel horsepower is really high for K24s

I would guess mid 60s. Is it an X50? Ask him to tell you exactly what has been done to it. I checked the SG website and their stage 1 shows it at 550 hp.
