Message	You have no idea about the tranny, rear end, subframe, wheel bearings, shocks, electrical system, HICAS, turbos, etc.........The body looks in great shape that's a +, what about interior, tires? I would rather buy one running and spend more if that fits your budget. If you buy it for say 4 to 5K be prepared to spend at least that much to get it all correctly together and then the cost to keep it running. I assume the pic in the drive way is not how you will get but with you pick up with the engine out, plus parts and exterior partially apart like in the garage? How long has he been trying to sell it? I wouldn't assume just because he is a mechanic that all is correct, you will need to go over all again. Caveat emptor Good luck ZUL8TR in Orlando,FL
