I asked because I didn't know what I was looking at. I was suspicious but I thought it was worth getting more info before I just dismissed out right. Plus it is the only red one in my town, others are 100+ miles away.

I was heart broken the morning I was supposed to head out to pick up my base BRZ with tinted windows from Houston and they told me it sold the night before. I ended up with a Limited BRZ the same color with tinted windows and clear bra for the same price, and it was 20 minutes away. |

i'm with everyone else, this car has to many red flags to pay any more than 15-16k for it. for one you don't know how its been modified or if its been tuned, and if it has, who's tuned it. the dealership is clearly not a professional one where they'll let you see the car before its been fully detailed.
look for a stock one or if you want one modified, buy from a private seller so you can know the history of the car before you buy it.

IMHO
Look for one that hasn't had the owner tweak it. I bought a Nissan truck for my father last year and the original owner never did anything himself, thus, when the truck had a faulty 02? sensor, he sold it to me cheap thinking it had a bad engine!!! ($50 fix or so) He gave me all the receipts from Nissan dealer, Costco, and other fancy tune-up places. Runs like a dream. Otherwise, you don't know how the last owner treated it, what he did to it, or even what problems to expect. Ex: Bought a '74 240z, last owner had done a wire tuck and CAI...etc etc mods....cost me like $2000 to get it into DD condition. He had Micky Moused the car for track? Is my guess. Sold it a year later. 2001 Celica GT-S, I spent $2300-ish in a new head gasket and other engine internals, plus 2 months sitting in my garage while I worked on it. Passed it on to family member once fixed as High School grad gift. I learned to do damn engine compression tests after this experience. Quote:
YES! Got mine down a lot ($2500? forgot), plus semi-free perma plate, extended, extended warranty, free car rental, free extra "$600 key"...+ more. Just tell them you'll call them back if you are interested. Don't let them bastards push you or force you to take a deal. If you lose out bro(s), then it was probably not meant to be. I wanted a 2006 350Z, beautiful white....sold after 3 months of being on lot. But, took me 8 months to find my FR-S just the way I wanted it. It waited for me in the lot.

I bought mine with 22k miles for 18k. It took 6 weeks, but patience will pay off. And of course mine wasnt modified. I wouldnt touch a modified one.
