Not the typical dsmtuners car. Personally, hell no. way too much. Plus I really don't like the kit on it. Plus its a turbod 420... Get a nice GSX 2g 5 speed. There are plenty out there. Pass this one up my man

$6k for an auto 420a?! Hahaha

If you don't have to spend the whole $6k on the purchase price, here are better options.

I like that 2g...

i wouldn't you can find a gs-t or gsx for that much some even cheaper and way cleaner.

The reason Why I'm getting the auto is because honestly, I fail when it comes to stick, I personally like the body .. And I don't plan on going all out with turbo, Just something other than a stock 420, and the talons are nice but im a huge fan of the 2Gs..
Like I said I don't mind the kitt.. stock would be better though

Keep searching. There are much better cars out there. As far as the auto vs 5 speed, to each his own i guess. I think I know what you are looking for in the car, but this one has a lot of questions that need to be asked first imo. Where was work done. Both on engine and body. What parts were used, what were the maintnence schedules that were used. You should already know this, but ask a shit ton of questions. Like stated by everyone else, this car should be passed on just because its a turboed 420a. I'd really consider waiting on finding a GSX. The body kit isn't that expensive to buy and have installed. But if you are set on getting this one, then good luck, and ask for a car fax, and ask for a complete history of mods and dates for this car to see if there are any holes in the guys story

The thing is, It's a dealer Someone i guess got tired of the car and gave it to dealer, when dealer got it. he said it had a head gasket leak but dealer got it all fixed. whenever I see it in person i do belive im going to test drive it for quite some time just to make sure it doesnt overheat or anything like that

This is a BAD deal. BAD DEAL. NO. NO. BAD DEAL.

If your heart is set on it, then you've already made the decision, so why ask us? 6k is way too much. Plus its FWD 420a auto. 3 things that deter me from even looking at another DSM. This car is maybe worth 4000. Thats with no problems.

Again, if you are set on it, bring some tools with you to do a compression test and see what the number are on it. If you don't know, search it. There is SO much info on here about blown HG. At the very least, you will be able to know the right questions to ask the mechanic. Thats who you need to talk to about the engine. Don't let the sales man bullshit you.

There are a lot more out there than just this one. Be patient and find a GOOD one.

For 6k you can easily get a gsx

 

[Doubleot]

I looked at one picture and couldn't figure out if you were being serious. No, you should not get that car.

Thank you all for the help, I'm still looking fr a 2G and I should be patient I guess haha. I'v had my black eclipse GS and traded it for a 99 GTP.. The GTP is amazing but its not a dsm.. :// But I don't want to get another 420a and sacrifice power over looks.
But i called them and tried to lower the price, the dude said he already sold it. so someone got suckered into paying full for the car oh well.. It's ###### just gunna blow up on them.. xD
and im not looking for "rice" or anything but I just want a nice 2G with a 96-99 body.. thats it..
:/ i dont like driving this boat.
