Hey folks,

I'm new to the site. Hope I'm posting in the right place. I am looking at a 2006 GT with ProCharger, seems to be well tuned, all work performed by local dealer. Car has 22000 miles on it. Very nice condition. However, the engine light is on. Dealer says they had a problem on that car with cat coverters that were replaced. They're asking 20K. Thoughts?

Some people have said stay way from modded cars...what do you think?

I think that price is a bit high even though it has low miles. Possibly could be buying someone elses problem.

So are the recommendations due to the fact the check engine light is on, or would you always stay away from a Supercharged car?

Thinking of taking the car into the dealer that did the work originally (and they know the car), and having them look at what is the issue. If they can get it straightened out, would that potentially change your mind?

Thanks for the responses...

I'd stay away due to the CEL. Lord knows what kind of butcher job was done to that car, may be a never ending headache.

agreed...stay away. yeah it may be a local dealer but even still, how many times do dealers put on blowers? Plus, those 22,000 miles probably werent spent driving to chuch, probably 22,000 hard miles. i have a local guy that had a blower put on by a local dealer, the motor blew in less than 1000 miles.

The car probably had a Cat delete...with cats it will throw a code...Some tuners tune too lean and cause a lean code or O2 sensor code...you need to plug a tuner into it and see what the code is....that being said 22K is high...I would pay 17 or 18k knowing what it is...

To me the CEL on is sloppy. Sloppy and FI do not go together. If they care for their car it would have been corrected.
