If you are asking on here, you probably shouldn’t buy it. The reason I say that….is that you aren’t going to get the same Honda reliability from it that you would from a factory stock Honda. Turbo cars and cars heavily modified like that are going to require a lot more attention and a lot more repairs than something that is stock. If you are prepared to really dive into it, and to learn all about the mechanics and how to make repairs and adjustments yourself, go for it. If not, you should probably pass on this car and just buy something that was more fun from the factory to begin with…
I have to agree with Jordan C. Chances are this person has run this car into the ground racing it (because obviously that is why he/she put the aftermarket into it). I wouldn’t buy it if it were me? I mean yeah, the price is ok for what it has, but, you may put more money into it fixing what may be wrong with it than it’s worth for a 12 year old car?
