Well guys with tax time comeing around im seriously considering get me another DSM. Of course this time it will be a turbo'd dsm for sure. I've been looking around for the past month or so, around town and on the internet havet really seen anything that spark's my interest. Alot of nice DSM's out but all are over priced. I'm looking for a 97-99 GSX for about 3-4k. I know im a cheap bastard but oh well :-P. if i can't find a GSX i will settle for a GST i will not go back to a 420A for no reason. If you guy's know of anything decent for sale let me know looking for something around the SC area dont wana drive to far.

DSMs are alot like gravity, no matter how hard you try to stay away, you'll get pulled back everytime.

You're not going to find a GSX in that price range... and the GST you find will be ragged to shit. Hard to find anything in the 3-4k price range really...
xavier3jr
01-07-2008, 02:55 AM
That may be true for 90% of DSM's but im also not in a rush i can wait untill i find one that i like and for the price i want. If i can't find a good one in that price range then i proably will not be geting one. I really want a GSX but a GST will do just fine im not a huge track guy mostly street raceing but the GSX might would turn me into a track guy lol.

I think of my car as a toilet because of so much ass I've got in it:lol:
Anyway, doubt you'll find a GST, much less a GSX, in that range.

I'll give y'all one guess why. He knows what his car is worth, but $20 also says he knows why someone shouldnt buy it for what its worth. I'd be weary about those "too good to be true" deals because I bet that it is. I'd go check it out for sure, but I would be sure to look it over with a fine tooth comb.

Why does he NEED to sell it as is, but he would take trade for a stock or MODDED 1g? Seems a little fishy to me. Either way, it seems better than the first one. Definitely worth checking out though, seems like a decent car, just make sure you keep the tune on the conservative side. Ask for reciepts of all the parts too, most people that are serious about their cars, especially guys that seriously mod, will keep ALL the reciepts, some even keep oil change reciepts and shit.

I talked to the guy and he says the car will start and run but is not driveable because it does not have a tune. He said it needs a labtop with dsmlink to be able to tune it. i duno fi that means he doesnt have the software for dsm or what i sent him a e-mail and asked. he said its not drivable so if i get it i will have to trailor it back to SC. what you guys think i should do?
