Thanks for you time!

 
probly the gayest carive ever seen in my entire life...i didnt read any of your post so it could have a great engine or some shit but its ugly as fuck and if i saw u driving it id make fun of you
 
SHITTY! stock that v-6 puts out 170hp and its an auto, and it looks like shit. i looked at some reviews on it and they all say its shit
 
cougars are very nice, as long as they are not the 4 cylinders that are too heavey to pull theyre own engine around. but yeah that one is modded out and probably is crappy indeed.
 
dude that will be a bitch to work on since its TRANSAXLE. i wouldnt get it plus its not as fun as manual cars
 
I does look alittle "ricey" but it's still a good looking car for $2500. idk, I'd probably get it if the gas mileage was better.
 
i was thinking the smae thing, either the car is hot, the tranny or engine is gone/going, or there is nother big problem. The paintjob alone was prolly about 2500, then the widebody kit prolly another 2000 after install, then rims and tires aout500-800, that right there is easily 5000, something fishy is up!
 
it's going to fall apart in 2000 miles. And because it was owned by a ricer bitch who can't handle a stick shift, it was probably beaten daily.
 
is it close to you? if it is you may as well go and test drive it, if its good, buy it for 2500 then ebay it for like 8-10gs
 
i agree with the part about it being owned by a ricer type person. he prolly had the pedal to the floor and shit because he thought he was cool in his auto. if it was a manual maybe, but it really does look like a piece of rice. and its got a lot of miles.
 
i agree, but the miles are about normal, the average miles driven per yaer for most vechiles is about 15,000, granted that the car was first driven in fall of 2005 its at or below the normal average.
 
yeah thats a ricer. and since its not a stick he probably rode the tranny pretty hard. get a stick and have some fun!
 
It depends my friend... are you a homosexual.

If so... the car looks great. If not... our family owns a building with an opthamologist in it... would you like me to schedule you an appointment?
 
alright i didnt read all of the posts cause i dont have time but..

NEVER BUY A USED SPORTS CAR

That thing has over 91000 miles on it and thats quite a bit considering how young the car is. used sportscars are very un relyable and costing only 2500 there must be downsides to its performance. personaly i would not buy this because youd probably end up paying around $10 000 in repairs.
 
He took the auction off.

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced it's a scam. The bid was at $3,200, and yet he still offered me his buy it now of $2,500, WTF? Then his BS story of the cancer, sounds exremely fishy, although if i could drive the car, and talk to him in person, I'd probably buy it.
 
Suggestions? Stay under $10,000, and it has to be practical (no two seaters). I'd also like it to have some nice rims, but they're not necessary.
 
well i guess so but its still on the high side.

also take in consideration on how people drive sports cars. they drive them fast and wild. this is EXTREMELY hard on the engine to be done daily for 6.5 years. i think if you buy this car, 6 months later it will be in the shop.
 
I'm thinking about getting an A6 Quattro, looks like a nice car. My uncles a mechanic and he doesn't like them at all, from a mechanics point of view.
