It's stanced. Looks cheaply put together. Crappy fenders. Cheap aftermarket paint job. Horrible pictures and description sounds like it was written by a 13yr old. Stay away from it. These are all clues as to how the car was taken care of. Keep searching, be patient. The right one will appear.

Terrible wheels that don't fit, stage 3 clutch which means the may have been boosted or just beaten on, engine swap why??, new diff why?, etc etc. I'd run. This car just reads like something that went boom because they had it boosted and blew the motor and diff which makes me question the life left in the trans. The body looks like crap on top of all of it and no good pics of the interior.

so the suzuka 03 i mentioned a page back i may give up on. talked to a friend who is a master tech and he said it definitely sounds crank walked.
my next purchase option is an 00 black with red leather which is a tie at the top of my list with suzuka. 113k miles, 3 owner, but its at a honda dealership and they claim they have a stack of service records...leather looks like its barely been sat in somehow. they are asking $10,800, id only do it for $10k max...kbb says its worth $15k and nada says $10k
thoughts?

Just by reading the ad, i think anyone can conclude that the car was probably beat on; such as stage 3 clutch (most likely boosted) and 4.77's. And i wouldn't buy a car from a person that misspells simple words like "seen" as sean. You can also count on the fenders being hacked up as well due to running 17x9 +22..

Does this look like a good deal? My link Going to go check it out in the morning. Hope everything goes well and I have an s2k soon!
Good luck though, hopefully the car is flawless and you can talk them down on the price.
