I will check out another one today ... this one has no accidents and its completely stock and is silver with full red interior (even the dashboard is red) also it the original owner who bought the car in 2002... I saw someone posted that Ballade sports it's a good shop to service/check the car. what do you guys recommend changing, service if I buy the car. as I said I would prefer something near Orange County.

 

Someone recommended Balade for something?!

LOL are they bad? which one is good near Orange County

 

what about this one Formula S (formula-s.net)

 

much better than Ballade. do a search on here, nothing but bad reviews

 

I've been to Evasive, Ballade, Rockstar Garage, and Formula-S.

- Ballade - avoid, unless you like getting upsold on products, and having things that aren't broken, become broken, along with the thing you were trying to get fixed not getting fixed, and going home with parts added to your car that you didn't need.

- Evasive - avoid, unless you're planning on spending a lot of money and having them do a high-end build. They're more interested in selling parts and no longer cater to the grassroots enthusiast that they built their early reputation on.

- Rockstar Garage - good shop, and good option if you're in the Inland Empire (located in Ontario). Justin can be a bit rough (unpolished?) but is a good guy.

- Formula-S - my current go to shop located in La Habra. Alan and Son are good guys and know all the ins and outs of S2ks. They've owned multiple and have been tracking them for years.
