Just to prevent this question from coming, yes I do. I've invested way to many thousands of dollars in my last 4 cars to consider building another. I love modded cars to much not to have one so this time I am looking for someone else to take the hit. Look at Phill's cars http://www.williamwestfall.com/gallery/cars

that too,
but more so that it will never really be "your car", unless you extensively modify it
and if you do that, whats the point in buying a modified car
just my 2 cents

Yea, I understand. I much prefer my own projects and know exactly where all your opinions come from. My options are
A) Buy a stock car and mod over the summers
B)Buy a car with mods I would of wanted anyway and change what I dont like after its paid off.

i think its worth 12G easy. very nice and clean.
however
with 12grand im sure you can build a 300hp monster that will look better than that.

its pricey because of the type R bling and mugen parts.

still a bad @$$ car though

I agree, 12k is definetly more then I would be willing to spend on this car. The owner is very nice and is willing to negotiate. I am going to lowball him something fierce and work up so we both feel comfortable. Thats assuming the car isnt a piece in person. I doubt it will be though. Its a shame the highest trim level the Ek came in was DX, Blue book is barely 6k.

you never get back what you put in so you might as well let somebody else take the hit if the car has what you want. just switch some **** up and rock it hard

Aside from the money, if I am gonna build the car into something that I am going to buy, then just buy it modified and save you the time. There is definitely more room for improvement and you can work on that.

If money ain't issue, then of course, just buy a stock one and go from there.
