Is this a GOOD DEAL?

ok here is what i go for $9500.... a 98 gsx with 42,000 miles, 18in chromes, custom paint, limo tint in the front and 35% + limo in the back, euro tails, 3in downpipe to 3"full apexi n1 exhaust, upgrade fuel pump, cone filter, greddy bov, the free bov mod, big FMIC, remote start, remote windows, momo steering wheel, greedy TT, electronic boost controller, SAFC, >>NEW<< Phantom autometer gauges, (boost and oil pressure), and a greddy EGT... i think that is alll? o ya and yokohama parada spec-2s (retail 170 ea)<-all new

Sounds like a good deal to me. You've got most of the supporting mods needed to get a bigger turbo already! Your car is just begging you to get rid of that T-too small =D

Holy Mother of God yes! All that same stuff you mentioned goes for NO less than 17,000 asking price around here. I've been looking for 97-99 GSX 5-speed silver/black/gray <80k miles for around 10,000 for 6 months now! Where'd you go to get your car?

That sounds like a great buy IMO! Be wary though--a car with that many mods if it is still on the stock 7 bolt motor may have been abused and could have leaking seals/gaskets etc.

I don't want to sound skeptical, but you should definitely have the car checked out by a mechanic up on a rack before buying. There is nothing more disappointing than buying a new used car and realizing that you need $1000 worth of work on the car done right away.

It seems like a great deal though; I would think a stock 98 gsx with 42k should sell for that much easily without any mods! Let us know what happens!

well... i didnt tell you this... the guy works with my dad... and the car is a salvage title... :) so it has been wrecked.... i will get pics in a few weeks... tonight i need to put it back together... we tore the engine apart to make sure i didnt blow it up when i ran out the oil<----long story... but it is fine... it is all going back together... we did find a broken turbo bolt, a loose shifter bracket and the TB was loose... should be running by friday... YAY!!! i need to eat me an SRT-4

is it a re-built title?

if not, my dick is fully errect over that deal

man you should of ran for the hills once you were told it was a salvaged title..not worth the risk and it'll be a bitch to resell.

not planning to resell... i will wreck it... i always do

not planning to resell... i will wreck it... i always do

Then why are you paying $9500? And why are you driving a car!? That is not a very good mindset for someone who is trying to live for very long :eek7:

Salvage title will be a hassle on the car. If it currently HAS a salvage title, you will need to get it "rebuilt". If it is already rebuilt, your main concern will be re-selling it, but it is at least street legal.

lol i will take pics... when you have your own car shop and your dad works at one (making $100k plus) and you have the resources to fix anything wrong with it... why not... most people dont know that i can get a 2000 or newer e class mercedes for $3k wrecked and fixit for $2-5k and drive it... most people think when it is totaled it is totaled... not true MANY people that work in teh industry fix things... as this guy did and drive them...
