Default will this setup hold??

1995 GSR with 133xxx miles on it. Boosting 7 lbs daily driver. Tuned with hondata...stock internals. I'm wondering if this car with so many miles can withstand boost forever without failing. I will buy this car if I think it can hold up.

He did the complete front and back 1998 conversion, lowered the car, and painted it as well as removing all body dents. Flawless external.

Guy is asking 9k for it...think i can talk him down to 8? What would you pay for it?

Bluebook on that car is about $5k add about another $2k for the turbo and extra's and you have about $7k the most you should pay...
$9k is kinda high to start with. Assuming it's in good condition.

get a compression + leakdown tester and bring it with you when you check out the car.
