The clutch looks in good shape, but a clutch is one thing i would definitely buy new. You can break it in the way you drive the car. I would hold off and buy a new one.

If you cant wait it is in decent shape.

have the seller measure the thickness of meat left on to give you an idea of life expectancy

thanks any more tips?

edit* btw he said that he broke it in for more than 500 miles,

the clutch itself has 2000 miles on it, and he's only selling cause he's frustrated with his car, went through three engines (the last one of which was fully built), so he's cleaning out.

Check the pressure plate surface. Act clutchs like to warp. Use a flat edge and make sure the pressure plate surface is all nice and flat. Disks are cheap and easy to replace. Its the pressure plate which is expensive.

the clutch looks decent, but it is not worth saving a few $$$ to get one used. Do yourself a favor and get a new one. you will thank me forit
