Just curious if this is a good car to buy. I kinda like it. Not sure if that is really expensive or now. Also is there any surprise taxes that would give me a heart attack. Seems to me it would be $3000 to get it to NY

Never buy without a pre purchase inspection. Especially something hacked or rebuilt and especially out of the country!

I wouldn't buy a car unless I touched it myself. The chance of fraud is too great and the amount of the money too much to risk. Just my 2cents.

I see pretty wheels and paint, on a very tired 930...

wiring looks horrid, front tire looks two sizes two small on the rim, not a car that was built with attention to detail IMO...

Dam I didn't pay close enough attention LOL

There is a weird pipe under the car behind the muffler I was wondering about and yeah the wiring looked a bit shoddy.

It is very good looking

BUT, the listing is very poorly written and that always makes me wonder. Motor, trans, and clutch were just rebuilt. Receipts?

I would check with your locale DMV on that one. It might be legal now, but more work and headache than it's worth.
