HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?
Hello again..
Last time here, the faithful talked me out an 01 SC'd flood car... thank you, I am in your debt.
Update: Looking at an 01 with 13k miles with the mods and cost listed below (half of which I have no idea what the stuff is and whether it is overkill - recall, I am reasonably mechanically challenged)
Fact: Seller is asking 27.5 firm.
Dilemma: Is a 5 year old car with the listed mods worth the asking price or would you consider a low mileage 04 for 23k (with the idea of an SC in the near future)? In essence, is newer the better choice in the long run or is the 01 a super buy that should not be passed up?
Additional info from the seller: [I]The car is fine to redline

don't buy...
do you want a car that has probably been treated well (the 04)
or
a car that has forced induction and you know has been beat to hell, raced, and who knows what else.
i say go for the 04, forget this guy

Well some of the prices seem normal. But he is trying to get back more than 50% for them, which is not realistic.
Get an 04 and sc it, who wants an 01 with the old interior and plastic rear window...
