RE: So i need some help......
the main thing to look for is service records! Or ask where he had it serviced and see if it's been in for those oil changes, TSB's for the front spring noises, rattles, tank fill issues, etc.
It should have the original tires so make sure the tread depth is good, as it should be with only 13k on them.
Check the spare. Has it been used? That could indicate that it was in an accident. Go over the sides with a magnet wrapped in a microfiber towel to look for bondo.
With black paint be sure to park the car in shade during the day and then check out the reflection of light on the hood, roof, etc. Look for scratches, swirls, dents.
Oh and check under the carpet on the front passenger side foot well for any dampness or mold smell, as there's a leak issue.
Did you run the kbb.com used bluebook price on it for your zipcode yet?

haha thanks guys, all of your pony's are remarkable, i hope i can get themto your guys level at some point. my first mod is gonna be the SLP loudmouth axelback exhaust. but for the 2007 year its as follows hopefully in order
SLP axleback exahust
Tint the windows
Black out the tails and possibly the headlights
Cervini's Ram air hood + ram air kit:.jpg)
Chin spoiler
then for late winter early spring possibly either the roush spoiler or a ducktail one
Then the stripes get done. i have a special idea for them so ill leave that as a lil surprise for the spring.
that should take me up to next summer.
