I wouldn't buy it with anything more than 20,000 miles. Since it has 38K, that's a no.

As for being the "first supercharged Si" I don't know if I believe that.

I've seen that ad before (-minus the updated section). I'm almost certain the same car was advertised a year ago.

SIDE NOTE: Why have a garaged H2 if you're not going to drive it?

How is it a good deal? The guy is thinking about selling it for $25,000. That's insane. I wouldn't pay $16k for it and I'd make the owner pay me just for buying the car with that hideous hood on it.

25 WTF? I thought it said like 19 or something. 25 is facking insane considering I got my Speed 3 for that price.

IF its 19 with 30K miles and in good condition its a great deal. Especially with all the comptech crap on it Not really unless your a tuner, I bet you can get it cheaper since the only one who would prob buy the car would be a tuner.
