damn thats alot of mods. a 55k car for 16.5 with a whole shit loads of mods.

All ima say is : BUY IT!!!!!

Thats sounds like a pretty awesome car. I tried to look at your pics, but the attachments didn't work. The only thing I noticed your car doesn't have is a suspension. If you ever have plans to drive it I would recommend it. Otherwise some coilover would look awesome at a show if you took some of the wheels off. Good luck with the sick ride!

i would pay 16.5 for a stock tt with 55k miles. like jracer said, i would do suspension when you get it. but me personally, i wouldn't buy a car with that many mods even if it is so cheap because i want to do my own mods. but that is probably just me.

All those mods probably cost around 20-30k to do. If not more, and even more when you factor in labor. You are saving an ass load of money here.

Really just stupidly insane amounts of cash already spent. Unless there is mechanical problems, you better snatch that Z up before someone else does. But remember, its your cash so make sure its what you want.

You should also consider that with so many Mods... the last guy may have drove the snot out of it... most second-hand mod/race/drift cars are in bad shape! Beware!

Other than that it sounds like a nice car... and I would have to agree with freak, I would much rather do my own mods than buy a car that is already done up! Sorry if this is harsh but: That does not say much about you... and I would not respect the car or driver! You have to put your own sweat and blood into a machine and earn it (mods) not buy it!

But like I said... sounds like a cool car... if you like it buy it and don't give a rat's ass what I think... with those mods you can beat my Zed in a straight... But on the Touge.... Bwahahahahahahaha!

I'd rather do my own mods, too. For piece of mind...so I know what's been done...so I know WHO did it...so I know who's been driving the piss outta the thing...stuff like that.

It sounds pretty cool, except:

Zapco Amps? Ehh...that sounds like one step above Acme...never heard of em.

Chrome tints...blargh...never seen this look good.

Stillen wing...no...just...no...Zs do NOT pull off big wings well...if it's a little wing, it might be aight.

Interior neons...meh.

Yellow leather seats...ehh...

Just my two cents...what the hell do I know. Mechanically, I'd be a little cautious, but it sounds alright. Check it out, then go for it if everything checks out, man.

I agree...mostly.

Considering you may get back half the money you put into the mods when you sell it if you are lucky (in this case probably more like a fifth, if that), got anymore pearls of wisdom Mr. Gates? I know I don't got the cash to do all that.

Earn my ass, a deal is a deal and if worse comes to worse he could probably sell it a month later for more. What I know is how much those fuckin turbo upgrades cost, damn things are worth their in gold once they're in the car. You could find someone that would pay 20k for it.

And I personally think on the matter, its not what you have and its not who did what to it, its how you drive it. Because in the end, thats all thats going to show. Feels good to do the work yourself, yes. Feels better to get a killer deal and do even more work yourself, yes.

However a well reasoned point was made. Do a compression check and all the standard stuff if you can.

i see where you're coming from Broke as **** but i agree with the rest of the guys, i'd rather spend my cash to do my mods, i feel that it's way way way more rewarding to have a fast car that only you worked on. after all, think of all the experience you would gain from doing all those mods.. you'd be a Z Masta! just my

[StealthZ32]

first, those pic attachments didnt work
also, i agree mostly on every view, i like doing stuff myself to KNOW WHO DID IT. and know who drove it. idont trust anyone. my friend bought a tt that was rebuilt and supposedly and awesome car, it had about 400hp (sidenote::it had single exhaust, i could have smacked him) but anyway it blew up on him in about 2 months and he spent another sixK rebuilding it with other upgrades and now will prob sell. so BE CAREFUL. look for problems, when you look for problems you will find them.
