Looks ok. Price is high. Go drive it and try to talk them down.

Looks clean. Price isn't high, but I'm sure you could talk him down some anyway.

Good luck on getting that EJ6.

Yeah if it idles ok no CEL I'd offer 5500 or 5k, it's well worth it.

Looks very clean. Ask him where he got the motor from and if he can prove it. Bargain with him.

That a pretty clean looking hatch, price is resonable if they provide a bill of sale for the motor and car is clean title.

"Yeah, it's only got 35k." The words of someone who bought their first JDM engine.

The VC is not USDM style and the IM is missing the purge solenoid, most likely a JDM mill.
