For 760 bucks the AWD parts could be turned around and sold seperately as well as the engine if the car is not in good enough shape for you to drive. You could always think of it that way.


And for the 25 PSI... my ass he ran that, that's jsut tehre to fool some noob into saying "it runs 25 pounds, WOW, i gotta buy it for that price!"

Looks like it has at least one broken exhaust manifold to head stud too. You can see it missing in the last picture.

Looks like a good 6 bolt swap donor car, thats about it. I'm sure the reserve is somewhere above $2k.

That car will most likely be nothing but problems. If he did run 25psi, I bet that engine is about to blow up.

You'd be better off to by a shell and start from scratch than by this car. You'll spend more time fixing it than upgrading it. I learned the hard way. Find one in good shape with few mods, or by one with a lot of mods and a blown motor and get it rebuilt.
