my friends lookn for a car no more than $15,000. He came across this car (click link) do you guys think its worth it? for this car, Im thinking the dealership would ask for a little bit more than 15g's.... so im wondering if somethings wrong- just want anyones opinions to see if its worth it or not. my friends really likes the car but hates the color... for 15 g's i told him to look into the honda civic si's... their not that bad so what u guys think?

i wouldnt touch it unless you are prepared for rebuild or other damage; color is the least of his problems

 

RARE TURBOCHARGED WITH NOS TYPE-R?????

Stay a mile away from this thing. It looks used and abused. I think I have actually seen it posted on here before. Bad news!

 

a used car with nos? hmm i think thats an easy decision

 

i wouldnt go for it. Why did they put the turbo and nos on it? To beat on if obviously. Trust me, don't go for it

 

description looks good to me for that price...but u cant really tell how the owner treated it...i wudnt recommend a second hand car 2 b honest...he can buy a lancer

 

yeah that looks like a definate no plus its a honda/acura dont get one of those.....hell 15 grand and under he could get say like a eclipse gsx or gst or something like that.......Dont get no honda

 

heres a pic of the si .... look where they put the shifter

I'm a Honda fan, but the R is definetly going to be a nightmare, and the new Si = boring

 

The car looks good and just because it was turboed and had NOS doesn't mean it was abused. I would go get a test drive on the machine and take it to a mechanic to get check up if I were really interested. Despite what these guys are saying you can Turbo and add NOS to a NA car safely if it is cleverly tuned. Your friend might want to find out who tuned the car ....

 

I wouyld take the Type R but being as highly modded as it is, it'll be a hard sell. I would offer $10,000. I fteh engine blows you can rebuild it for less then $5,000. Also do a compression check.

 

$15,000? That strikes me as odd, considering unmolested Type Rs of that year/mileage routinely sell for more. I'd be pretty leary of that particular car, even if it was tuned "right".

Thanks for making my day.

 

turbo + nos..bad combo..probly ragged on major
