Run BOTH carfax and autocheck. Autocheck is by far the better of the two research tools. If you see that the car was salvaged, then decide if you want to go this route. If you personally are okay with owning a salvage title vehicle, then fine. Realize that reselling will be difficult if that is the case. Heck, even if it isn't salvage, anyone who knows these cars is going to think twice about the purchase so it will be harder to sell down the road. You have to ask yourself, just exactly why did he pull off so many AP1 parts and replace with AP2? Most frequently it's because the car was wrecked. Not sayin' that is the only reason, but it is the most common.


TL;DR

 

my bank doesnt give out loans for anything older the 7 years. so i guess that one is out of the picture. and all of the ap2 s2ks are so expensive. or atleast the ones iv found

 

try a credit union. the interest rate will be higher tho.

 

Really? I just got a loan last week at my CU with a rate of 1.49%. Sounded pretty low to me.

 

i actualy just took it out for a ride. its got normal wear on it cosmetically for a 13 year old car but driving wise it runs very strong and tight. he has all the stock parts and i met with his buddy who built the car they have owned several s2ks in the past. turbo and supercharged. i was very impressed but i also am not an expert by any means.

If the car is mechanically good thats a really awesome price with the ap2 engine and clean title

 

Wow, that's really low. My rate is about 4.29. They added 1 whole percent because the car is older than 7 years.

 

you guys have an answer for every question or issue. you guys are awesome.

 

I don't know how great it is. We could all be completely wrong.

 

haha there isnt really a right or wrong lol just other peoples input really helps out a lot.

 

I got 1.87% at My credit union good for any age car as long as the loan is for less then nada average. Cars 07 and newer had a rate of .87!
