[QUOTE="PM-Performance, post: 16346161, member: 176806"] You are ahead of the game then. I was in the same boat. I bought a HEAVILY modified one against my normal gut feeling, but only because it was done by a reputable shop everyone knows unless they live under a rock and all the documents to prove it. While it has its things I am not fond of at times, if I didnt want a 10 sec car, and wanted a quick car to just drive, it wouldnt be any issue. Only issues are because I race it regularly, so partially my fault. lol Guy bought the car not knowing much about them or cars in general and just wanted a cool car. He didn't realize how scary a high HP/TQ car can be and the problems associated with it so he let it go for what I felt like was too good to pass up. So I hopped on a plane and paid cash after I did my homework. So if you are comfortable working on cars, you can get a damn good idea from a video or two to get there and can to a compression test on the spot before transferring funds. You don't need to go with an independant check unless you are trying to save the trip and think the guy is shady, or just don't mechanically know cars well. For $22k, if I was looking for a black one and specifically wanted something modded and to race around, I'd give that some serious consideration. [/QUOTE]
