sounds like a good/maybe bad deal the price is good with all those mods but the bad is with all those mods you can bet its been drove hard!! look it over carefully,do a compression test and most of all drive it. if it all checks out buy it and dont forget to get the programmer from him.

that sounds like a reasonable price, almost too low if you ask me, normally i see poeple wanting like $9k+ for a car like that. I'm not saying thats the right price, 7.5k seems just right but he could be hiding something, just check it over well
