Looking into getting a 06 mr with less then 65k miles stock willing to spend 22k does that sound possible?

 

You might get lucky.

DO IT!

 

No disrespect to the owner but I'd like to build te engine up myself. Don't really like taking credit for others work.. And has a bit to high on the milage

 

Yes finding one stock will be the toughest part.....especially because 90% of the people who say the car is stock is lying either because there are unseen mods( pistons,rods,etc) or because it was modded and brought back to stock to get a higher resale......moreover even if the engine and surroundings are stock...many people start becoming self tuners and cracking into their ecus

 

I found an 06 MR stock about a year and a half ago with 60k miles on it, for 21k. Like Vieneli said though, not many of then are actually stock, and if they are, there's no guarantee they were taken care of properly. The previous owner of the car I have now was a lying sack of ****. Thankfully he didn't do any serious damage to the car before selling it. Good luck.

 

+1.

Bought my MR with 47K on the odo for 22.5K. The car actually is bone stock, but like above the guy lied to my face until AFTER he had had the money in hand. GL.

 

Stock is the way to go! You don't want to buy someone else's headaches
