    Agreed on the seats, but I'd be willing to bet you could trade them for another set.

    Wonder if the motor was built.

    I agree.....

    I think they'll really struggle to get anywhere near that kinda money outta that car, even with all the upgrades.... i've sold a turbo car before... only newer, with less miles, etc.... and i only got a little bit more than that outta my car... and that was 2.5 years ago...

    As long as its well built, i think if someone picked that up for like 12-13K, it'd be a good buy

    That car has been on craigslist forever, guy must have traded it in on something. It was for sale by owner for a longggg time. I think back then he was asking at least 16k for it. I agree 12-13 would be a reasonable price for it.

    I'm not sure I mind the seats all that much. I bet he dropped a bundle on them. In some of the photos they look like they have a lot of orange in them ( not good ) ...but in others they're much closer to a saddle color, which I like.

    I think the car would really benefit from a Termi front/rear bumper...

    i actually stopped and looked at the car. interior is gorgeous!! but the guy let me fire it and it doesnt seem like it runs as good as it should for all the major mods. i reved it to like 2800rpm and didnt even get any noise from bov:( honestly dont think it was built by the smartest guys out there. oh its got 335/30/18s on the rear with like a 1 and 1/2 spacer haha

    Revving it in neutral doesn't generally produce any sound from the blow off. Car stayed in vacuum.
