The car was "tuned" but it doesn't idle correctly? I've read around 5 to 6 red flags. Do what you want with your 5 grand.

Not even any pictures & you want us to just guess? Shaking my head vigorously.

I picked up a bone stock 97gsx for around $2500 (guy selling it thought it had a v6 )...but I do live in the US. The car needs paint and the front bumper is kinda ruff so its not perfect by any means.. If I was you I would hold off and keep an eye out.

I paid 1400 for my 97 spyder gst with a 20,000 mile engine(he did have receipt) big 16g, fmic, 3" turbo back exhaust, but no real supporting mods now i have to put in bigger injectors, 255 walbro with re-wire and afpr then i have to buy tuning software and eprom ecu or a safc2, but i knew what i was getting into and accepted it. In your case you really have no idea what is in this car and with you being new to dsm's don't take anyone's word on what they are selling unless the have paperwork or something like that. We just want you to have a pleasant experience with your first dsm. Otherwise you will sitting there like

well looks to me like theres to many unaswerd questions when it comes to this +400hp dsm, i would get the answerd before making any kind of offer... i got my baby for half the price that guy was asking, to much to work on and it was running it made a 2 hr trip and all that i had problems with was the suspention... but if i where u, i would get more info on whats done to this car, all the way down to head studs
