Default Anybody know this car?

Saw it on ebay, which I've never used before. Any advice on how to proceed? Thanks.

Those wheels are hideous but it does look like it has Bilstien HD's.

Agree on the wheels, just turrable.



Drivers' seat looks a bit 'varnishy' given the miles. Other than that it looks pretty nice.

The ad says the previous owners were fanatical about maintenance, so the records for that should be available.

Good luck and don't forget the PPI if you go for it.

The big woofer in the back seat are doing the car any favors either!

Agree on the wheels and the sub.

So how do these auctions work? Do you get the guy to PPI it before you bid or make the sale contingent on a clean PPI? Thanks.

I actually like the wheels...but the offset on the rears looks WAYYY off. Car's stance looks like it's got air shocks at the rear too...unless it's just an illusion from the apparent sloped drive.

1) Talk to the seller first. Obtain info.

2) Have someone do a Rennfax on the car. Obtain info.

Begin by tracing this car's VIN with the "Post Your VIN" thread for a start.

That car is quite odd, I'd stay away from it.

The modifications are tasteless. Big *** sub, PSS9/10 that's set up to SUV ride height, aftermarket exhaust that looks off, and finally the wheels - they make me feel very emotional...

The whole package is weird. I wouldn't want to own that car for anywhere near $50K after what's been done to it.

The two prior owners were fanatical about maintaining the car and the level of care shows

Then why didn't they change the simple part in the picture below?

Looks like a nice car in spite of the wheels, amp etc, but IMO it is overpriced by about $10K as is.

Check this thread...

Not sure what your parameters are but this may be the best deal on the market IF it checks out (PPI, docs, paint meter). If you like the color combo JUMP on it. I would almost buy just to flip which I never do with cars...

The black/tan c2s in Arizona ($47w/22m miles) looks like a better candidate to me.

Oops ... Bob just beat me to that suggestion.
