I guess you could look at it that way. But then again, there's a reason why he's having to drop his price so low, and that reason is because the car's not selling. If it was worth the money don't you think it would have sold by now?

The transmission issue just sends up a red flag in my mind. Sorry if that's not what you want to hear. It's your choice man, buy it if it's what you want. I'm just trying to give you an objective opinion...

i completly understand your oppinion on the transmission... but im making some adjustments for that situation. i told him that if i planed to buy the car that i would have to take it to a friend of mine (a mechanic that i know really well) and have him look at it. see what he thinks aout it.
also, he dropped the price because he wants me to buy it. he is planning on putting a down payment on a new car and her wants the money relativley soon. also he was really reluctant to offer it for 2G's so i dont think hes really shoping the car around. i think im the only person who he has really talked about it to...

Did he get in an accident or something? That fender's going to need replaced, and it seems like the corner lens might be screwed up too.

I dunno dude. I'd probably skip it personally, or offer less, but I guess it's up to you. At least it does have some rims on it what appears to be some performance-oriented tires with decent tread left, so that's a plus I guess. It's up to you man. Definitely take it to a mechanic before you buy...I think you said you were going to, right?

Are they leaking? Or do they feel bouncy?

It looks like the stock F22 to me. If you go to look at the car you can check. The engine code is stamped on the block, to the left of the exhaust manifold. It should say "F22A1" or "F22A4" depending on which model it is. Did he say that the car had a swap?
