Default need your opinion

I think this is a no brainer but I would like all your opinions. Have a chance to purchase a 98 gsr with 46000 miles with a drag 3 turbo, showoff front bumper, 17 niche shocks, and full leather and tweed custom interior for $14k. Should I do it

IMO, when you do the customization yourself, you will value your car more. I wouldn't do it.

just out of curiosity, what the HELL is the reason for selling that car at what seems to be a big loss?

the only problem is a crack on the exhaust manifold for the turbo, What could cause that to happen

No. I don't like turbo'd cars. Get a hatchie and go all motor. Not too much into show stuff. 17" Niche's weigh like 30#?

crack d exhaust manifold indicates a too lean of burn..a guy at the muffler shop just had a 6lbs boost and blew the motor as well as the manifold..supposedly alot of heat generated..look for other things wrong with the motor at this point
