What a BEAUTIFUL wing. :not: How could anyone give the car those performance upgrads and then go put that wing on it.

Not too bad a price considering the mods. A stock 97 sells about 8k here. He probably want s to get out from under a note or needs some quick cash.

if you can, offer him 7500 in cash right there. if he tries to protest, tell him he's losing value because of that pathetic ugly wing.

As a precaution, does he/she have proof of the engine work stated (head swap)? I've seen too many people purchase a car with stated engine rebuilds or work only to find out later that there wasn't ***** done to it....Just FYI....I would lose the wing

Click to expand...

Get documentation that headwork has actually been done to the car and get any other documentation you can down to even oil change intervals if possible. Look the car over carefully. Check for exhuast, fuel, transmission, differential, oil, and coolant leaks. Check the transmission fluid for metal grit and make sure all fluids are in decent condition. I'de also ask to take the car for a test drive before purchasing and make sure its ok and nothing is wrong with it. Be sure to look for the SES light and listen for any odd noises that would indicate a problem.
