i say be careful buying a modded car especially if you have no tuning experience, the outcome could be a ass whooping to your pocket if ya know what im saying.

Well 2 1/4 exhaust is stock.... for starters. Second a leaky valve cover is a 30 dollar fix for the gasket, maybe more for a new cover if its cracked.

Ouch my eyes hurt after reading that one!

what year is the car?, see if he allows you to perform a compression test, i wouldnt buy a modded car, they tend to be expensive in the long run but if you sure there's no real damage, then go for it, gl

do the tests offer him less and if down the road it doesn't work out part it out

now thats funny an ass whopping to your pocket but its true i would take it to a DSM mechanic before you buy it and have them check over everything. maybe you could get it for 1,500

It would be good to no the mileage?

i would deffinately not buy a modded car unless you know the person and know the car is not slapped together or almost beat to death. Also the problem with buying a car that is "fixable" is that may not be the only problem, a guy i know just bought a 96 GSX, the guy said it needed new crank bearings but it turned out the whole crank is froze up.

i'd wait if i were you. i searched for a long time before i bought a 95' tsi awd. bought it from some old man who was the only driver. just search the usuall search engines daily until you find a perfect fit for you. i would be wary of buying a modded car.

Do you have any pictures of the car? Did you take a good, long test drive? I know you are excited but, make sure everything is good before buying. Search on here for other posts about what to look for when buying a DSM.

Are you french canadian? ### your english is terrible, no offense. But eh seems ok depending on body and how engine looks.

 

[ian_maham]

thats not A LOT of miles but its still damn near 150k. but for 1900, thats not bad. i replaced the gasket on my honda engine a while ago, very easy. that gasket should cost like 30 bucks, and it should take you about an hour tops to replace it. unless the previous owner changed it and used sealant like crazy.

How to do a Compression Test

Is it this one? If so, it has a clean interior and nice looking exterior.
