Default What about this one?

How about this one? Bad car fax, owner says when he bought the car he was told it had 80K on it but previous owner had replaced the gauge pod and it was installed at 0 zero miles (had 1600 miles on the OD when he bought the car). The OD now has 7119miles. The seller said he had it sold but then when the buyer did a car fax it said it was over 300K miles (I find that hard to believe). He wants $5,000 plus I would have to get it shipped from OH. It is a real SS with a 6 speed and he has the stock white wheels that will go with the sale as well. He said there is nothing wrong with the car. Said I could fly out and drive it back. Thoughts??

1 of the biggest problems is the distance, what if the car isn't what you want you just traveled all that way. I would do is look for other cars around that area to look at just in case that deal go's bad.

I think you'd almost have to look at it as a car with 300K on it, especially when it comes to the price.

I don't know what your budget is but here is one. I've seen it in person. Lot of money now but in the future, could be a worthy investment.

I offered the guy 4k sight unseen, as is. I figured I couldn't go wrong. I'll see what he says. Shipping is 365.00 from OH to the Boston terminal.

Beautiful car but 20k is not what Im looking to spend on a car I plan to beat at autocrosses. Thanx for the link though.

So I have the seller down to $4450 and he will throw in....

Used Spohn rear suspension (adjustable TQ arm, hard pan, LCA relo brackets and arms)

New unistalled QA1 coilovers front and rear

New uninstalled Loudmouth 1 exhaust

Second set of wheels, chrome ZR1 wheels 17x9 and 17x11 rear.

315 mt drag radials (4 passes).

What are they parts worth if I sold them off?
