Anyone would, no offense, who wouldn't if they were trying to sell their car?

That's if you have all the stock parts and can do it without the dealer tracking traces of mods

Didn't you fly out state to buy yours? Wasn't yours modded as well? Yeah we all know forum research is very < not> reliable and just hear-say at best,

So what's the difference? It really all shakes out when you actualy get to test drive the car anyway don't it?
Yes I did fly out of state for mine and it was slightly modded. "Forum" research is reliable because of trusted other DSMers who I know will give me the piece of mind that the car is really ok without having a bias towards the owner. I actually found out that the guy I bought it from is good friends with a guy on NABR that I met at the DSM Shootout a while back. I don't know if you don't know, but the guys on there don't fuck around with transactions and ripping people off. That alone is enough piece of mind. Also, the fact that the guy was willing to link me to any forum he had been on (5 local forums of his, DSMs, street racing, etc...) to show me he hadn't beat on the car and that there were multiple unbiased people who would vouch for the car, shows me that he is really telling the truth.

But anyways, good luck with your car. I've seen firsthand, Cobras that are modded then sold after those similar parts were put on and it made it make less power than stock. I've looked a lot into the cars and their owners when I was looking for one.
