More than likely the previous owner just threw on an intake and a catback exhaust without doing much research. The only other picture I'd want would be the strut top. If that was factory (i.e., not a coilover), then I'd be very tempted to buy it. I would want to source an OEM intake or GrimmSpeed intake, but that's just me.

from the looks of the ride height, I highly doubt its on coils, even so i wouldn't mind, at this point im kinda just accepting whatever car i come across for the right price is going to have a mod or two, the car will shortly be JRSC with a full exhaust so il end up just selling whats on it and get what I want. Thanks for pointing out the stock header, thats one less thing i have to worry about. you think the car being a northern car il have to worry about the salty road corrosion?

Personally, I wouldn't worry about that. My car spent its first winter in the snow in Delaware about five miles from the ocean, and it has no issues. Then you have people like Tcoat who drive their cars all winter long in Canada with no issues. It's only seen one winter, maybe two. It'll be fine.

Insanely overpriced, I really hope no one buys it for that

He stopped responding to me when i tried to set up a time to come look at it, and that was weeks ago. I ended up finding one in LA thats a little overpriced but low miles and bone stock. Im flying over there this weekend to check it out, but if i cant get the dealership to drop their 25.5k price for 3800 miles il probably just walk out.

Why wouldn't you just buy a new 2017 at that price?
