He said he bought it with 55k on it and it now has 61k on it. He said he did the motor work but also says the motor has 25k on it since the rebuild.Because according to him he has only put 6k on the car.Something is not right. Be Careful this guy might not be honest.......

he did not spend anywhere near 20k on the car in updates. i just bored and honed my block an put is together with the same cp 17cc pistons. they are topof the line but only about 1000 bucks and the macine work was another 1700. he did not buy the blower since it came on the car when he got it so i would say he is definitly not at all honest. he also has none of the regulatory mods. who has a blown car and no boost gauge? i serious,y question the logic of something like that.

yea i agree with a lot of the comments left here. i wouldnt trust him. the mileage was a BIG factor. the car only has 61,000 yet he put 25K on the motor, and he bought it wit like 55K?...i dont get it?

And he put $20K into the car? wow id hate to go to that shop to have work done. with 20K you could have SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more power and more suspension done to it too. plus its a vert so the chassis is a little weaker.

My concern would be he put 25k brutal miles on it or more. Maybe it doesn't even have a built motor. If he is lying about that what else is he lying about. Ask for reciepts and all and look at dates and what not.
