Ok went to see the car today and it isnt worth what he is asking.
-Front and rear bumpers are loose and missing screws all over the place- You can literally fumble with it!
-Passenger side headlight is cracked straight down the middle
-Bottom of the DS door is bent like if he was backing up and had the door open
-MASSIVE oil leak on the Oil cap , theres actually puddles of oil on the intake mani
-the ds harness looks hacked as if it was in a accident and the spliced the wiires , because the frame looks warp and everything is missing screws.
-The air control knobs are all missing
-no radio
- needs 4 new tires
-exhaust burnt the bumper and its melting on the other side
-interior is nasty and dirty
-exterior overall i give a 2 out of 10, looks like someone had fun with a paintball gun because theres a series of dings all over the place
-67k miles
-spray painted 5zigens
-RUST ON A FREAKING 2005!!!
The good-
ams fuel rail
xs fpr
no name brand fmic
k and n filter
tial bov
and the injectors didnt look like the 560cc ones the evo 8 comes with, they also were soldering and heatwrap on the injector wires
NOT WORTH $17.5
A little about the owner, he buys cars at auctions, he is a mustang fan and is well into his 50s. I think he got the car for a killer price at the auction and is just trying to make a quick buck. Also the previous owner had to be a douche because if he got this thing at the auction chances are it was a repo and it got ragged on
Boost was ok i tried to tell myself "this is not your car its not gonna be as fast as your car" just so i can try to feel what 280 awhp would feel like, it pulled ok after 5500 rpms but it was laggy as hell until it reached boost
Also it was shooting to the right bad , the front right tire has some mean camber wear on the outside of the tire, YES the part closest to the face of the wheel. No wonder there is no pics of the right side of the car

Wow 17.5K for that?
I never understood why people who sell their cars don't freaken clean it. When I was selling my SRT-4 I spent a good 3 hours clearning the sucker out. Cleaned the inside, rims, outside, and wiped down the entire engine compartment, under side of the hood....everything. The thing looked sweet as well. Looked at a STi and Evo and the owners had junk all over inside
. Probably a bad relation but I would think people who take care of their car would also seem it semi clean. Mine's spotless except the truck which is ok with me since that where junk is supposed to go.
