that's kinda what I'm thinking.
went to the bank with the guy and they pulled his loan right up. seems to be legit. I can't figure out any scam he could be pulling?
takes a leap of faith. my boy did it the guy had to basically pay off the car wait the week to get the title THEN my friend signed the title over to the guy who bought it. Took about 2 weeks to get done hardest part is paying the bank off and actually getting them to get off their *** and mail out the title.

i just bought a 2010 evo x with 12k for 24,000on it and so far soo good...knock on wood...lol...however, the title on the car i got was clean but i can def tell that the car was repainted proly cuz the guy sideswiped something...or atleast i hope it was something that minor...look where you think previous mods would have been and just look for things that might tell you they were taken off and changed back to stck parts...otherwise seems like an awesome buy...good luck
What suspension is he running? Looks too low for a stock suspension. Just trying to make sure he isn't lying to you about the only mod being intake......though I would consider gauges and wheels a mod too.
I sold a car with an unpaid loan on it and it takes a leap of faith, we wrote out a bill of sale stating that the car was his but officially we had to wait for the bank to release the tittle and then I signed it and gave it to him
After all that my bank told me he could have wrote a check to them and we could have filled out a paper to have the tittle transferred before it was mailed out.
god I would buy an X for that kind of price! lucky...

+1. I was just about to post this. If I had to guess I would say eibach springs or some other spring that is very common, based off the fact that he has Rotas.

Why can't you do a compression test? There's not really a need to do a leakdown if it has good compression. You can do a compression test at his house in 20 minutes. If it has good compression buy it. GREAT PRICE
Chase should be able to send the title to the nearest branch if you request them to do so. You then take your CERTIFIED loan check to the branch, you both sign the check, they pay the loan off, hand you the title, and the balance between the pay off and the sale price goes back to the seller (assuming he owes less than he is selling it for). I've done it this way many, many times. The teller should also be able to notarize the title being signed over. Then you can take it to the title bureau and have it transferred. Done deal.
That is a great price too. It looks a little dirty though. To me, someone that keeps their car cleaner means they respect it more and take better care of it in general than most. Something to consider. It's definitely a risk buying a used one, but if you find one that is in great shape and well taken care of, I wouldn't be too concerned.

Maybe in your area. There isn't crap where I live, good deal or not. I waited for two months to find anything at any price for sale within a 3 hour drive. I got a decent deal still, but I still look everyday and there isn't crap out there even three months later. There must be a shortage or something in my area.
