Default think i found the one.

ok guys, I think i have found one that i want to buy. here is what has been done to it
03 black 44K
JRSC-R
Comptech Icebox
Megan Midpipe
ESMM
HPF springs
K-Pro
Type-R wing
New front tires and brakes
Clean title

I asked him if i could do a compression test and he said he was ok with that. If the numbers come back clear do you think this would be a good buy? He wants 12k but said he can work with me He did say that the steering rack creaks witch i hear is a common problem with the cars and the windsheild is cracked. Do you think 12k is too much? I going saturday to see it, please let me know if this is good an anything i should look out for.

You're crazy. 12k is a hell of a deal. Mine was 11k with the same mileage but no kpro/supercharger. I'd trade mine +1k in a heartbeat.

I told him i wanted to run all my test on it an he was fine with that. In my experience most people that do this kind of work on their car know what it means when someone asks to do compression test and other test. If they have something to hide they tend to get touchy when asked to run any test. The guy drive a good way to see his gf evey week an wants a hybrid.

He could just be having trouble selling it cause alot of people don't wanna buy a modded car. He could be looking for a quick sale for some reason. Just cause the proce is fair doesn't mean something is up.

Run the compression test and the carfax report. Make sure there is no newer looking paint or any over spray and if it all checks out i would say its a good deal.
