Riced out with 125k on it? I'd pass.
Why is Koni in quotes? Seller is a 'tard. Or should I say, "tard"?

yeah that "body kit" is terrible

I don't know about $7k for 125k miles...

what the hell does he mean when he says "modified turbo"? 17 psi sounds like a chip, not a different or modified turbo.

something doesn't feel right... he's pretty vague about some of the stuff he mentions in the ad.

for california prices, that car is priced ok, could be a little lower though. it's not that bad of a car i guess besides the ricey look but i'd seriously check the car out closely before buying it. definitely check the timing belt first, then the KONI COs and the exhaust.

I don't like it but if you think you want to jump on it, have it checked out by a GOOD mechanic. One with lots of turbo experience would be better. I got fucked on my Audi because I got excited and didn't have it checked out by a mechanic.
