Is this worth it?

http://www.dsmtuners.com/classifieds...?product=24958
Just wondering if the car was worth the price, I haven't been in the market for modded 1g's. It's probably all i need for now until i save for FPgreen, 800+cc injectors, dsmlink and fmic.

No fuel control besides the MAFT, only a 16g, and no FMIC. I would say it is a bit over priced. $6500 would be decent if the body was really nice.

Re: Is this worth it?

I looked through the entire ad twice and don't see the mileage of the car listed. Personally i wouldn't buy a car that had over 110-120k miles on it no matter what the mods may be.

Re: Is this worth it?

I dont get why the miles really matter. Its got a fully built bottom end with 15000 on it. And as for fuel, you can always add that. Who wants to buy a car fully done to just drive it and be like "Yup". Im guessing you wanna mod it so wouldnt it be better to have a quick car that has potential to be FAST. Just my .02.

Re: Is this worth it?

Miles matter because everything else on the car besides the motor falls apart also. And that car isn't worth anywhere near the amount he is asking.

Re: Is this worth it?

I agree with others and add to it- You'd be better off getting a 2g with zero or less mods than to get a 1g with a piss pile of miles on it. Be the smartest one on here and get a Hybrid

Buy my old car for $7400 (in sig on bottom right). It needs a clutch so put a AMS/Powertrain Technologies Clutch in for $1100 and have a 600+whp car back in MN!!! I want it back so bad.
