Default found new parts on my car

Well i went to test drive it , ended up buying it, and drove it home. I didnt really look at the engine or anything, i seen a polished tip comming out the back and didnt think of anything really. Well i got to goin over the car today. Has a full Cold Air Intake from injen, and a single (im guessing 2.5') apexi cat back on it cant go wrong with that haha, mark those off the list

ya thats a good price, but maybe that should have prompted you maybe to do some research

good luck

Wow, the car has an exhaust and you didnt even bother to look at the engine? Im speechless. Either way I would never buy a modified car just cause I feel if he did put those things on there it was probably abused. I made the dealer do a compression test and I checked all the fluids and everything before I even thought about buying the car...

Assuming things can make an ass out of you.

Just because a person makes a modification doesn't mean they abuse their car, especailly exhaust and CAI!?! So what, maybe he hit the rev limiter a few times or maybe he took off like a bat out of hell from stop lights, but don't we all. Isn't that the point of having a fun car? Or maybe he ground every gear when he shifted or even blew up the motor and had it replaced. Regardless, even a car without mods can also be "abused."

I know abused means different thing to different people, but I think the term was misused in this context.

Were not "hatin" on your car, it just seems rather odd that you buy a car without even so much as taking a look under the hood. I dont consider it being picky I just consider it common sense. And if you fully rebuild the engine like you say you are then im pretty sure that voids the warranty. And yes they will know. Dont take it offensively I was just kind of curious...
