Is this a good deal or not?

I don't know it seems like something could break and give me all sorts of problems. This is modified so crazy i wouldn't know what to do if something went wrong. Yet i am contemplating on buying it. Advice... please.

says he has receipts for work performed.. can you read?
if something happens go back to whoever built the car

"RS MOTORS did break in tune etc...
MAP did all Engine / Power tune etc
CONS:
Rebuilt MN title"

Yes It won't hold the value of the car if you decide to sell it in the future.I've had '02 mustang with rebuilt title cause I bought it from the auction.first all gaps between the doors,panels and hood/trunk was different and it looked like ****,second when it was time to sell it even cheaper then market price,I had hard time to do it.it scared ppl off.phucken never again rebuilt title.

I would shy away from pretty much any car with a rebuilt title. I have been in minor accidents (not in my Evo) that changed the way the car drove.

Huh????

I'm sorry this makes no sense. Changed the way the car drove?

You mean the car was not fixed properly. Now I understand

Ahh the beauty of the automotive forum. Spectacular

I should have been clearer. The car did not necessarily drive differently, but the experience changed for me. Knowing the car had been in an accident changed my attitude towards the vehicle.

Thanks for jumping to conclusions though.
