I asked him if i could do a compression test and he said he was ok with that. If the numbers come back clear do you think this would be a good buy? He wants 12k but said he can work with me He did say that the steering rack creaks witch i hear is a common problem with the cars and the windsheild is cracked. Do you think 12k is too much? I going saturday to see it, please let me know if this is good an anything i should look out for.

 

has it been crash? The metal behind the hood latch looks bent.

 

he said that it has never been any kind of acident

 

when you go see it, make sure you dont see more bent metal or fresh paint . and ask about the bend

 

run a carfax on it first. Ask for the vin number.

 

simple green wouldnt hurt the engine bay

Do what he said. Carfax it.

 

if all of that checks out do yall think that this is a good buy?

 

Seems like a pretty good buy. Comes with Kpro, plus the supercharger too. Hopfully everything checks out just fine.

 

I downloaded the k-pro software so when i get there i can check all the settings and make sure nothing is out of place. If i get it ill post pics up asap.

 

carfax it... 12 seems real high

You're crazy. 12k is a hell of a deal. Mine was 11k with the same mileage but no kpro/supercharger. I'd trade mine +1k in a heartbeat.

yeah I thinks its too good of a deal, thats why I think something may be up.

 

I told him i wanted to run all my test on it an he was fine with that. In my experience most people that do this kind of work on their car know what it means when someone asks to do compression test and other test. If they have something to hide they tend to get touchy when asked to run any test. The guy drive a good way to see his gf evey week an wants a hybrid.

 

also do a quick look arround the car...make sure all the part have the stickers with the vins (fenders, bumper etc)

He could just be having trouble selling it cause alot of people don't wanna buy a modded car. He could be looking for a quick sale for some reason. Just cause the proce is fair doesn't mean something is up.

Run the compression test and the carfax report. Make sure there is no newer looking paint or any over spray and if it all checks out i would say its a good deal.
