Default Is this TOO good of a deal?

I was searching craigslist because im thinking of buying an s2k.. and I saw this one.. It has some mods as you'll see but it seems well done. Is this too good of a deal? Ran to ****? possibly in a wreck and not reported? I was thinking of buying

I would only feel comfortable buying a reconstructed car if:

A. before and after pics
B. I was not worried about resale value

Don't forget it's a 2.4 liter too! With Premium sound! and telescoping wheels!

" Loaded with many great options, HKS suspension full HKS coilovers and all the bars. HKS frame under the whole car. ported and sloted racing brakes disks and pads.."

What a salesman!
My next mod : ported and slotted racing brakes and telescoping wheels.

It could be a good deal... The only way to find out would be to give it a full and proper inspection (by you or a professional) and to run a carfax. Obviously this guy did not modify the car.
